School Shopping Changed My Life...Not!

There is going to be a mad rush for many people to go shopping right before school starts. Resist the urge and think of creative ways to have a rite of passage weekend no matter the grade your child may be entering. Every year brings a new start and challenges he or she will face. Embrace this weekend to speak encouraging words to your child so they will tackle the journey with excitement. We all have memories of back to school shopping, but when was the last time you thought; "Thanks mom and/or dad for taking me shopping every year right before school started, that really changed my life."
