SUMMERTIME BLISS
Back To School Doesn't Have To Be Like This ([link removed])

Don’t freak out, but it’s time to start thinking about back to school season. I said don’t freak out! We’re here to help. But first, we’re going to start off with a nice little reminder: this doesn’t have to be a circus.

Meg St-Esprit writes: “The rigamarole around back-to-school gets a bit more overblown with every passing year. When my oldest began school, I didn’t think about custom T-shirts or sign templates. We took a cute photo on the porch in a Paw Patrol shirt he chose from a bag of hand-me-downs and set off on the short walk to the quaint little church preschool that all four of my children would eventually attend. Now as we prepare to send our kids off to yet another school year this fall, I have to actively work to tamp down my anxiety about the event back-to-school has become.”

Well, she says nope! And frankly, I agree — we’re keeping it low-key around here, too.

The Drop-Off Line Is The Absolute Worst Part Of School ([link removed])

“There are a few things I really look forward to as summer winds down and the school year ramps back up,” writes Samm Davidson. Predictable schedules and quieter mornings, for instance. The transition comes with some dread, too. “But the most dreaded — the thing I look forward to the least about the back to school transition — the place where all adult sanity goes to die. Drum roll please… The school drop off line.” This one is really funny, and you’ll absolutely relate.
