Let’s be honest here, my fellow hockey parents. There are not enough hours in the day. All the time management skills and life hacks in the world are not going to save us when we spend 7 hours at a rink on a Saturday and another three on the Sunday. We want a minute to […]
The HockeyMom’s 2020 Goals
Y’all, I spent most of December and January couch bound thanks to minor abdominal surgery. You know what happens when you are used to go go going and then can not go? If you’re me, you plan your 2020 goals. At least in one respect, the timing was impeccable. Since I knew this surgery was […]
What to Expect from House League Hockey Evaluations
All right, folks, it’s deep dark secrets time up in the Chronicles. I hate house league hockey evaluations. There, I said it. Turns out, I have a hard time with evaluations in general when it comes to my kids. This is not something I struggled with when I was a child, I didn’t get anxious […]
Prepare for Hockey Season: On the Go Dinners
If nothing else remains the same, I know this: I always need to have a list of on the go dinners for the nights when hockey practice is at five o’clock and the boys get off the bus at 4:30. I need the back up plans to my meal plans for when things go sideways. […]
Reasons I Need Caffeine: 12th Edition
Do you feel it? Can you hear it coming? September is coming. That means the reasons I need caffeine are starting to multiply. By the end of the season, my blood type is coffee. I own it. There may come a day where that changes, but today is not that day. This week in particular […]
First Year Goalie Mom Skills
You never stop learning. Honestly, the hockey mom thing wasn’t much of an adjustment. Putting on player gear was far easier than it looked. I can get a kid dressed head to toe and on the ice in five minutes. I mean, I prefer to take our time about it, but if need be, I […]
Prepare for Hockey Season: Rink Lunch
If there is one thing about the school year I dread, it’s making lunches. And the fact that the hockey schedule often requires us to be out of the house during meal times means that I would be best advised to make lunches on weekend mornings as well. This is where I stomp my feet […]
Reasons I Need Caffeine: 11th Edition
Here’s the honest truth: I have spent all summer waiting for the magical “summer vibes” feeling I’ve gotten used to. Come about mid July, the boys have established a stunning base tan (despite the routine application of SPF 60 on the regular), a more laid back pace and a distinct lack of shirts in their […]
Stories from a Small Town: Card Games
I can’t believe I haven’t told this one yet. Over the last week or so, we’ve been playing a lot of card games. And my oldest is really starting to enjoy it. I’ve revisited the rules of Crazy 8s. Euchre is mandatory at Christmas. And every single card game I know or have played starts […]
Prepare for Hockey Season: Freezer Meals
This week I’m on vacation from my full time job, so what better time to stock up the freezer with meals to get us through some of the nuttier hockey nights? As I mentioned last week, I am spending the bulk of the month getting my life together as much as possible in advance of […]
