As summer fades away, I find myself reflecting on how quickly the season slipped by—perhaps it was all those unexpected snow days that made time fly. This year, I am determined to step up my game and become the mom who stays on top of everything, ensuring my children thrive. Yes, you heard it right: I’m ready to be That Mom.

Let me tell you, friends, my days of being the Average Mom have come to an end. With three boys scattered across three different schools—elementary, middle, and high—I’ve officially entered what feels like the First Circle of Hell, wrestling with the chaos of their differing schedules. This year, it’s all about survival! But who says survival can’t be stylish? I have been diligently crafting charming “Homework Centers” and “Snack Stations” around the house, inspired by my endless Pinterest browsing. Just last night, I prepared 25 individual snack packs of pretzels and carrot sticks, because, let’s be honest, it’s more economical than buying those pre-made packs. And yes, I even stocked my fridge with organic yogurt and set aside an entire shelf for bento box lunches! This Average Mom transformation into That Mom is underway!

To prove my commitment, I won’t even complain about the overly specific and picky school supply list that made my head spin. If they demand the one-ounce jumbo glue stick instead of the sale pack of smaller sticks, then so be it! And if my search for plastic yellow two-pocket, three-pronged folders yields nothing because some crafty mom snatched them all up, I won’t lose my cool. Instead, I’ll cheerfully opt for a green plastic folder and a yellow paper folder. The teacher can choose whichever she prefers, and the extra will be a nice gesture. Generosity? Check! That Mom is all about giving back.

I’ll tackle this adventure with a smile because I’ve turned over a new leaf—and don’t forget, happy hour at my favorite local spot, Bonefish Grill, is just next door. New leaf or not, I’ll need a little liquid courage to get through this. As I settle onto a bar stool, I realize I’m surrounded by fellow That Moms, quietly enjoying their pinot grigio while discussing the trials of school supplies and Ticonderoga pencils. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone in this journey.

As I navigate this new chapter of motherhood, I’m also exploring resources to enhance my family’s life. For those curious about home insemination, check out this informative post or consider purchasing from Make a Mom, a reliable retailer of at-home insemination kits. Additionally, American Pregnancy offers excellent insights into donor insemination, making it a great resource for anyone looking to expand their family.

In summary, this school year marks a pivotal moment for me as I strive to be the best mom I can be. Embracing my role with enthusiasm, I’m ready to tackle the challenges ahead, all while enjoying a little downtime with my fellow moms.
