'At the beginning of the year I set a goal for myself to have one hour of unplugged time each evening to enjoy offline and tech-free activities. This goal specifically was meant to foster more one-on-one time with my then fiancé (now husband!!), and has been fairly conducive to doing that. In fact, without even trying I have been spending less and less time on my blogs and online businesses, and more and more time enjoying our home with him.

'At 8:15 this morning, my youngest daughter climbed on the bus for her first day of first grade. It’s been a long time coming. Since the fall of 2005, I have primarily been a stay at home mother to our two daughters. My husband and I agreed early in our marriage that our goal was for me to stay at home with our children. Early on we didn’t know how many kids we were going to have, we just knew we wanted them to have one of us at home with them in their younger years.

I was able to reuse several items from last year, but they still needed pencils, new folders, notebooks, and paper. Plus, Staples has such amazing back to school deals each week.

'When baby makes three (or more!), there’s one necessity that homes stock: baby bottles. Even moms who exclusively breastfeed usually have a few on hand, since they receive them as gifts or use them for expressed milk.
