Long ago (October 28, 2010 to be exact) I posted about Starfall.com and all the amazing possibilities for preschool learning that it offers. Did I mention it’s free? Well, I tell you all about that and much more in the original post. I just wanted to give all of you a super quick update to say [...]
Although I can remember plenty of times when recess was not my favorite thing (I disliked rain, sometimes the games weren’t fair, etc.), the break from the monotony of classroom activities was always so refreshing. My twins (5th and 6th sons) just started Kindergarten. Their first day of school was so exciting they stumbled all [...]
One year ago, all 6 of my sons had serious respiratory illnesses. The severity of their illnesses and duration of recovery was phenomenally challenging. Needless to say, since then my way of approaching my family’s health has changed drastically. In the midst of it all, a simple yet astounding fact hit me like a ton [...]
Today was officially the first day of school (for all but CJ who starts tomorrow) and wow the excitement was at insane levels this morning. All of the kiddos (again, except for CJ) were up by 5am…yes, I am sure right about now you are totally wishing you were me (LOL). The ruckus was undeniably [...]
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a coupon for everything you buy and anywhere you shop? Well, although that isn’t entirely possible, one of the best sources for online coupons and savings is definitely Savings.com. Quite possibly one of the things I love about this site most is their Savings Pledge. The pledge involves committing [...]
This year all 6 of my sons are going to be in school. While this may not seem particularly monumental to anyone but me, it also brings a mile-long list of supplies that need to be purchased for the collective masses. Money is tight, my dollar doesn’t go nearly as far as it used to [...]
As we talk about Back-to-school we simply have to mention lunches. This year I’m going to do a little more than mention it though as we delve into great lunch ideas and in an effort to go completely green in the lunch department, Bento will be key. From supplies to recipes and great sites for [...]
Old Navy is having their $10 jeans sale that only lasts for three days (August 5 – August 7) so you’ll have to hurry to take advantage of this one. They also have tons of other back to school clothes on sale for a little longer but I wanted to share this great price with [...]
Alright my friends we have returned from the land of Vacationing!!! I definitely have some new tips and thoughts about big family vacationing to share with all of you, but throughout our entire trip I simply could not seem to completely eradicate the thoughts of how close we are to back-to-school.
Since I am a parent of a child who has had severe difficulties fitting into the public education system I have a few rather strong feelings on this matter and today I’m speaking out from my perspective. Please note: This post is solely from what I have learned as a parent of a child who [...]
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6). This blog is a little piece of my life, a large piece of my sanity and even a bit of my heart thrown in. There are days I laugh … Read more
