2 weeks ago by theresa_reviews With school starting Tuesday, this weekend is filled with last minute shopping trips and organizing the art / play room. I'm trying to remember to take a few minutes for me too! Who else feels overwhelmed when the back to school season begins? The biggest thing that helps me when our schedule gets busy is planning one entire day during the weekend when we don't leave the house, unless it's for a walk or a tennis game. This helps us keep our family time, even when we it becomes second nature to overbook every spare moment. . . . .

4 weeks ago by theresa_reviews #ad Today I'm sharing an introduction to myself! One thing you might not know is that while I am the owner of the blog Theresa's Reviews, I'm also a certified teacher. When I went through graduate school, I was lucky to study under incredible professors who had authored widely used books on children's literacy.

That's why I'm excited about the @KelloggUS and Scholastic back to school promotional opportunity at @Target . When

With the Jamestown settlement, Yorktown Beach and Colonial Williamsburg nearby, this area has many interesting things to do!
