I am so over summer.
Last week I found Nathan and Lucie in a death struggle over a video. They were screaming in each other’s faces and had tears running down their cheeks. Who are these savages?
My house is gross.The kids have been treating it like one giant garbage can, leaving juice boxes and wrappers on the floor. When I found a candy wrapper among my workout clothes I nearly cried.
So with 10 days to go before school starts, it’s all I can think about. And judging by my blog traffic, seems that my readers are looking for back-to-school recipes and lunch box ideas. So here some links to help you out.
