SHOES POLISHED FOR FIRST DAY

School is back, and with it the return to the routine of school lunches, afterschool activities and tired out kids at the end of the day. It’s been a great summer of family days in the sun, but a few parents breathed a sigh of relief over a post drop-off coffee to know the house would be quiet and empty for a few extra hours.
