Back to School- One more week to go!

August 30, 2010 by Juliann

My kids will go back to school next week. Jonathan will be a Junior. Kendallyn will be a Freshman, and Myelie will be in 7th grade. Of course, we are NOT prepared:( No school supplies nor any school clothing has been purchased. (Not by choice, however, just due to non-existent back-to-school funds.)

Not only are we NOT prepare with clothing and supplies, I have to get my two oldest registered and that will cost 45 bucks per kid! Holy crap!

On the bright side, my oldet son is happy doing his music and courting his girlfriend who just returned from a month long stint in Italy. Kendallyn is happy and busy doing her cheerleading. (daily doubles this week.)

Myelie, who is twelve is anxious to get back to school, due to the fact that her summer hasn’t been tooo much fun…….we didn’t get to go anywhere major this summer, which was a bummer! Again, not by choice! If we had the choice, we would have been in Hawaii, DisneyWorld and the Wolf Logde. Hmmmm, maybe next year!

My youngest, Braxton always seems to have fun, no matter what. He is turning four on September 14th! Braxton just loves life and has fun every day. His latest is riding his bicycle with his Daddy in Grandma’s cul-de-sac. He does use training wheels, but is getting more confident each day.

Braxton is also throwing less tantrums nowadays. He has discovered that hitting his head on the floor does hurt and doesn’t get him what he wants. He is actually also sitting and staying in his Sunday School class so Mommy and Daddy can go to their classes……yay!!!!!!!

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.

Together, we're here to support moms through every age and stage of motherhood—from pregnancy to menopause—with helpful advice, product recommendations, beauty and wellness tips, and plenty of encouragement along the way. Plus more!

We are PR-friendly and love working with great companies!
