Back to School is right around the corner so parents are checking those school supply lists twice! As a stay at home mom the budget is pretty darn tight, so it’s imperative that I stretch EVERY single dollar as far as it will go! It also means I’ve had to get creative about where […]
Do you remember the night before school? The butterflies in your stomach. The endless “What-ifs”. The worries. The questions. If you are a parent one of the best ways to help your child get rid of those nerves and help them sleep soundly is by pulling out a few favorite back to school […]
