Every time August is on the calendar's horizon, we all go into the intense preparations for our kids returning to school. So stressed with the classes, clothes, shoes, supplies, sports/performance activities, it just never ends. AND WE LOVE IT! One thing to help is to meal plan a bit with some creative after school dinner ideas. Showing our kids that preparation is always a great "plan" is a lesson they will never forget.
