happy school year!

It's hard to believe that another summer is coming to an end.

You can almost taste the gingerbread and hot cocoa.

OK maybe that's taking it a bit far. But the school year is fast approaching for many of us.

Fortunately, my 6-year-old is looking forward to nine months of homework and reading.

But I know it will not always be that way.

A great suggestion I've come upon is from the PTA.

The organization is introducing School Year's Eve and inviting families to celebrate school's start.
Why not ring in the new year with party games, food, and banners?

We'd do it to welcome

And if you post your party pics online at SchoolYearEve.com, you could win $1,500 for your school or PTA!

Amara may be looking forward to first grade. But I'm not gonna pass up an opportunity to party.

Hope to see you living it up to!

Happy School Year!
