Solo Mother

Some great stuff from the Lifestyle Channel…

I’m poking around b5media this evening, to see what my compatriots in blogging and parenting are up to. Career and Kids is on about backpacks for back to school — and since the King of Everything’s uniform trousers, which my mother ordered from Land’s End last year, were like teflon, I’m sure this backpack is a good deal.

You can win one if you hop on over to their post, Win a Lands End backpack for back to school.

I check in at Weary Parent fairly often, and Charlene’s August 1st post had me laughing out loud. If you’ve always wondered what to do with that enormous pile of unmatched socks, Camp Weary Parent has a brilliant solution for you… a summer snowball fight!

And over at Simply Home Remedies, you’ll find some great advice on how to treat bee stings… did you know, you should scrape the stinger out, not pull it out? Well, now you do. There are several other great tips to take the sting out of a bee sting. Too bad there’s nothing we can do for the bee…

The days are already noticably shorter. I’m trying not to mourn the impending loss of summertime freedoms, or that I’m going to miss my son’s first day of Kindergarten (thank goodness, he’s been going to school since he was three, so this isn’t his first day of school ever, but still) due to work necessities. September looms, even in these first few days of August. I’m looking forward to autumn rituals. I’m dreading the holidays. I’m seeking a path that helps me always bend, rather than break.
