MAYcember is upon us...

It's that time of year again when chaos takes over the lives of moms everywhere...I lovingly refer to it as MAYcember...the month of May that is just as (if not more) crazy hectic as December. School is wrapping up so there are teacher appreciation days, class parties, class performances. Spring sports and activities are wrapping up so there are team banquets, sports tournaments, dance recitals, violin concerts. Summer is around the corner, so swim team starts, camp registrations are due, are you've got to buy bathing suits. May is nutty for sure, and it will be here on Friday. So...buy the extra bottle of wine at the store, stock up on highlighters to color coordinate your calendar, and hold on tight. We can do this...

Blessings,
The Buzz
