6 things I am thinking about for back to school...
Yes, I am still here! I've been enjoying my summer and believe me it's been great! Things will get back on track soon... thanks for hangin' in with me! It's amazing to think that we are about 40 days from the first day of school. It's time to start thinking and planning ahead. Don't procrastinate, just start with the basics... here's what I am thinking about...
Back to school supplies: Get the list from your local Walgreens ... I know the lists are in stores now (I know people) and they have the best pricing on most school supplies! Watch your circulars because the sales are on!
Closet Inventory: Start looking through the kids closets. Clear out the clothes that are too small, too worn or just plain done! Make a list of only what they will need for the coming year!
Review the shoe selection: While you're in the closet, be sure to check out their shoes. Make sure the tread is good and that there is still room for their toes. Payless is running the BOGO so don't wait!
Check the school's website. Over the next few weeks your school will start posting important dates and information parents need to know.
Get the school calendar. It's out there! Just go and get it! Download your calendar and start writing in days off, in service days and vacation weeks. Once it's in your calendar you don't have to wonder...
Volunteer @ School - Anymore, we don't have the luxury of not being involved with your school. You don't have to be the PTO President, just give what you can. The schools need us and the teachers need to know we care!

Megan!
I just found this and am excited to read more! I am not a very orderly person by nature and am sure I will learn so much! Looks like an awesome site!

For me, school days are over. I've been there way back on my learning days. I must say that I had a great experience when I was still studying. I gain new knowledge, moments, and of course, I found true friends. School memories will be treasured forever.
