It seems like yesterday, the kids were getting out of school. Now it’s a matter of days and weeks that kids across the United States will be headed back to school. My daughter happens to be the last school district to head back. We start September 8. Hard to believe right. I am sure you are like me wondering what is new and different for back to school. Check out my Back to School Guide filled with basics and must haves for the coming school year.
