back to school

The new outfits are folded. The new supplies are in the backpack. The lunchbox eagerly awaits being filled with PB&J and Goldfish crackers. This weekend feels a little bittersweet, doesn't it?

Buying all of our school supplies at one store won't lead to the biggest savings. There are ways to score cheap markers and free pens and dramatically reduce the back-to-school bill, but we've got to know the tricks before we head out.

Feeling like a little bit of an empty-nester because you just sent your youngest off to college? Here's how you can still feel like they need you!

Summer break wasn't kind to those markers left over from last school year, was it?

I'll never forget how excited I was to find out that I had Mrs. Tabak for 4th grade! Why? Because EVERYONE knew her classroom had a class box turtle!

I'm not quite sure how it happens. Well, actually I understand that part, I guess it's just a little hard to accept how fast time flies and embrace that I now have a 4th Grader.

Last year local running store, Fleet Feet Meridian, teamed up with Real Life Ministries to donate a new pair of shoes to every child at Meridian Elementary.  This year, they want to help your kids feel awesome going back to school!

If you have kids in your life, you know the rush to back to school is on.  Harvest Life Church in Nampa is doing something amazing to help families in need tomorrow.

If you're scrambling this morning to take that perfect "Back To School" pic on the porch, you might need a sign to go with it.

She's a mom on a mission...with a camera. After seeing countless back-to-school ads, Katie Driscoll, mom of a 4-year old daughter who has Down syndrome said that she wasn't seeing any ads that represented her daughter. Instead of complaining about it, she took action. Presenting: The All-Abilities Back-to-Scool photo shoot.
