It’s back to school time. Whether you have one kid or more, you are probably focused on organization tips and separation anxiety. Even though a portion of your mind is flooded with these thoughts, another part may be relieved.
I mean, it’s been a long summer. My oldest just started kindergarten though, so it’s a mixed bag of emotions.
I’m sure I’m not the only one. But despite these overwhelming feelings, emotions, and the guaranteed inability to sleep in ever on a weekday (I know, I was spoiled), there are some perks: you may have a little bit of solo time on your freshly Purelled hands. After you eat the snacks you’ve been hiding from kids out in the open and catch up on your favorite show, the library’s got you covered for your next move.
Take some time to learn a fancy new meal. Bonus points if you don’t have to share it with the kids. Extra bonus points if you do, and they liked it.
