Schools

Is Your Family Ready for School to Start?

What traditions do you have when it comes to preparing for the first day of school?

It’s hard to ignore the fact that school is starting in a few weeks. Stores are full of back to school displays. Lunch boxes, backpacks and school supplies are ripe for the picking at Target and Walmart. Fall fashion trends are hanging in every clothing store window. But what do you do with it all?

Do your kids get a new lunch box or backpack each year? Do you take your daughter shopping at the end of August? Do you snap a first day of school photo? 

Share your back to school traditions with your neighbors and tell us in the comments section.
