On Monday my whole family donned our OU apparel and headed to Chick-Fil-A for our free chicken sandwiches.  Our kids thought it was so cool that they were getting it free.  (they don’t realize it’s free to them every time??)  Did anyone else go??

Our friend Melanie from Bella-Mella has been going through the unimaginable. Her son Andrew has a large brain tumor that was just discovered. He is starting chemo this week.

Please visit Melanie and more importantly, please pray for Andrew’s healing.

So here it is, Wednesday the second week back to school. Activities have started, routines are being established. How are all you Lazy Moms feeling out there?

Are you happy to be back to school? Are you getting into your school year routine? LMA and I have been having a hard time getting back into a posting routine. We haven’t quite figured out why that is. Was it a mistake to have given ourselves a posting break over the summer? We still posted, just not every day. Maybe that feels like …

Lazy Moms have been too Lazy to blog!  Have you noticed?  Actually, I have been very busy at home, I just haven’t felt like telling you about it.  OK, that’s not really it either.  It’s the picture taking to go with the blog post.  It’s a pain in the rear. 

What’s your Monday like?  Mine has been pretty productive.  I have done 2 loads of laundry, taken the dog to the groomers, run 2 miles and I am fixin’ (Yep, that’s a word!) to go work on dinner.

So, is …

Do you have any traditions that your kids love? We have a few of them. I shared one with you here. Another one we have is Cinnamon Roll Friday.

During the school year I get up a little earlier on Fridays and make cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Don’t give me too much credit. They’re Pillsbury out of a can, I’m not Pioneer Woman! But my cooking is not the point.

The point is I am doing something special for my kids. I am making them feel loved. I am making Friday a …

Yep!  It’s my birthday today!!  And, since my birthday consisted of a tennis match, LML and I celebrated yesterday.  But, it was more than a birthday celebration.  It was a back to school celebration.  Even though LML and I saw each other plenty of times this summer, we so needed some quality time without our kids!!!

We got dressed up and went for a yummy lunch.  We had sushi.  Do you like sushi?  My Mom says she doesn’t like it, although I swear she hasn’t tried it.  She says she has, but …

Pssst! Today is Lazy Mom Amanda’s birthday! I’m sure she’s napping right now. After all, what else is a Lazy Mom going to do on her birthday? If it was me I would have climbed back in bed after I sent the kids off to school.

Who am I kidding? I’m talking about my best friend who is training for a marathon. Her crazy self is probably out for a run! Please join me in wishing LMA a Happy Birthday!

Just in case you didn’t pick up on it the first 87 times we mentioned it, yesterday was our kids first day of school. We were ready! We stayed home Saturday night and had a nice family dinner and played some games. We worshiped together Sunday morning and had a great brunch with friends after church. We surprised our daughter and took her to get a cell phone that afternoon. And to wrap it all up we ate an early dinner at our favorite burger joint which happened to be …

In honor of the first day of school we have our friend Patti guest posting for us. Patti Ford is a wife, mother, painter, organizing maniac and writer of nonsense.  She is a fan of quiet time, wine and more wine.  On Monday, August 24th, if you listen closely you may hear her screaming for joy.  This doesn’t make her a bad person.

Are you a yahoo mom or a boo-hoo mom? My friend Lisa told me that her daughter’s school uses those terms. They say that at back-to-school …

It’s time for a giveaway!

It’s also time for our kids to go back to school. Monday is the magic day around here. In honor of that please leave us a comment telling us what you did or plan to do the day your kids go back to school. Are you going to get a pedicure? Are you going to lunch with a friend? Or are you cleaning house or spending the day at the office?

Leave us a comment and we will pick a winner Sunday evening. The winner will receive …
