It’s that time of year again.
Kindergarten Registration is here.
One of the most anxiety-ridden decisions many parents will make. Where to send them, full-day or half, are they even ready?
Am I even ready?
But by the time you’ve made your decisions and get ready to sign on the dotted line you may as well accept the fact.
You’re a Kindergarten Mom now.
Don’t stress; there is a whole lot of cool stuff in kindergarten. I’ve seen it twice from the perspective of a worried parent, and I see it daily at the elementary school I work at.
Cute little buggars, those kindergartners are.
I’m over at Moonfrye today telling brand-new kindergarten moms what that first year will really be like.
Kinda behind-the-scenes.
Bring a snack to share, your dried noodle collage for show-and-tell, pull up a teeny-tiny chair and click here to read.




I’m a forty-something mom trying to find the humor and joy in everyday life...
I blog about raising teenagers who were just babies yesterday, the craziness of being a middle-aged woman, the perils of a clean home, wistfulness over babies, and anything else that makes me laugh (or cry) in these years between changing diapers and wearing them.



My son starts in the fall. Going to check out your post!
I’ve been eyeing this post for two days worried it will make me cry…
You know.
Since my son is currently registering for high school.
(Gulp.)
But I love your words. So.
I’m going.
Be warned. It won’t be pretty.

Off to check it out, both of my girls went to JK at 3yrs old and I sobbed…then cheered.
Hmmf. This is so timely for me. I know what to expect as this is my 3rd time to the rodeo, but I am just having a hard time deciding if Kindergarten is ready for Hank. Maybe you’ll help me decide.
Dried noodle collage! I love those things! And can you EVEN believe Chalupa will be pre-K next year? Holy cow. I’m in such denial.
