Hey High School Parents,
Welcome to my blog! I’m Mel, mom of three, hoping to help you with everyday high school mom-life. My goal is to be a good wife, mom and to have as much fun as possible while helping you! I enjoy working on this blog, and hope you find what I share to be helpful; so much so that you’ll keep coming back! One reason I love blogging is the ability to make a little money which will help cover a few of my expenses and to continue providing content.
