Question of the Day: Do You Have Any Fun First Day of School Traditions?

August 13, 2009

I’m big on traditions. I think they’re a fun way to celebrate and build family memories, and I think my type-A personality likes the predictability of them! Although we’re homeschooling, we have a bunch of “first day of school” traditions that we started this year. It got me wondering what other people do as well… [...]
