The fourth of July has come and gone, and while I personally love our most American of holidays, it also marks the beginning of the end of summer. It just seems as if summer starts slipping away as the smoke from the fireworks drifts into the wind.
For most families, the beginning of a new academic year is now less than one month away. It’s time for back-to-school shopping, schedule juggling and activity scheduling. Prep work for the school year can make a final summer hurrah feel like an insurmountable task.
