Thanks for all these great back to school organization tips. It is always such a busy time of year as we get used to new routines.

I hear ya. It’s actually quite embarrassing. I started in 2012, and I would never say that writing is a natural gift of mine. I have lots of ideas, but I have had to work hard to grow in my writing skills. Revamping old blog posts is on my to-do list. My blogging journey started super organically without a big vision for turning it into a career, but I fell in love with blogging. I have loved walking alongside other moms to provide resources in a challenging yet rewarding and important parenting landscape. It’s been a journey of personal growth, and with thousands of posts to improve, it’s also going to be a journey of patience as I continue to work to improve and re-visit my old work. It’s been a crazy-busy summer with my busy teens, and so I rushed to re-publish this article in time for back-to-school without enough effort in making it better. I can’t do anything but acknowledge that you are right and let you know I’m working on it…slowly but surely. I’ll go back and work on this article. Thanks for the feedback.
