First Day of School Traditions
Summer has really flown by! It seems like we just celebrated the last day of school. While I know the kids and I are craving the routine that school brings, we are a little sad to see summer come to an end. But I am busy planning our first day of school.
We have some first day of school traditions that we look forward to kicking off the school year. From the annual back to school pictures to a fun breakfast, it helps set the tone for the day and the school year!
