School is back in session and the differences between last year and this year are incredible.

Neither of my boys changed schools or even bus drivers. The routine is mostly the same. So, what's the difference?

This year I am ORGANIZED. And it's all thanks to this website you're on right now.

I'm the Managing Editor of MomsEveryday.com. One of my many jobs is to read nearly everything that goes on the site. We're talking about a wealth of information from the professionals - a.k.a. other moms.

To name just one:

I have Amy Carlson to thank for our improved homework routine. No more scrambling for the necessary supplies - or endless searches for elusive pencils - to get the work done.

It's not just the back-to-school routine that has improved. Through MomsEveryday, I've learned a lot about things like money management, my family's health and creative ways to spruce up our home. I've even found a couple of new places to shop!

They didn't send me home with a manual when I had my kids and I, like most moms, am not the biggest fan of unsolicited advice. But through the dozens of moms who have shared their knowledge and experience with us, I've been able to pick and choose what advice works best for me.

While I don't expect anyone else to devote as much time to the site as I do, anyone can spend five minutes with MomsEveryday to make their life easier.
