It’s Back-to-School time again! Your children are most likely feeling excited to see their friends again, sad that summer is over, and quite possibly having some first-day jitters. Moms and dads have the same range of emotions, from being relieved to getting back into the school routine, yet disappointed that family vacation time is coming to an end.
Back-to-School time is a busy time of year from school supply and back-to-school clothes shopping, to early bed times and LOTS of paperwork to fill out, assuring the school has all of your current information (phone numbers and medical needs being most important!)
