e just love Back to School time. Although, it’s been quite a few years since we graduated, we still get excited at the start of a new school year. We thoroughly enjoy our summers and are sad to see them end, but it’s good to get back to a routine. And since we are planners at heart, we had to share our notes on prepping for the season. Inside this issue you’ll find pages packed with our tips, ideas and even a few recipes for starting the school year in style (and on the right foot.) Whether your children are heading off to kindergarten or college or anywhere in between, this is a chance to make a fresh start! We hope you find lots of ideas in the following pages to make “Back to School” a success for you and your children!
