Back 2 School

Today, as I take a well-needed rest from a weekend of shopping for school supplies and book bags, I have decided that the other parents in my community deserve a relaxing, festive get-together! I live in South Carolina and our children will begin their educational journey on August 19th. I am going to call this party: "Back 2 School Blast!" There will also be some "new" Moms and Dads invited, who are sending off their children for the very first time, and we are going to allow them to cry, laugh, and provide them with some support from all of us who have been there and done that, and know how emotional that very first day of school can be for the child AND the parent! I encourage others to get together with the other parents in their community or neighborhood and provide that much needed support for the "new" school parents as well as the support of the veteran parents! I am just serving coffee and muffins. Nothing too fancy shmancy, just something that they can grab in case they have other things to do, or need to rush off to work. For those with younger, non-school age children (myself included, here) I am providing toys and coloring stations for them, so that their Mom and/or Dad can relax for a little while. Also, invited, are those who are home schooling their children, because they deserve a break and recognition for what they do, too! I am looking so forward to this fun time together with my fellow Moms and Dads! I'm positive there will be much reminiscing and many, many, many stories will be told by all! I send all the children my best wishes and much success this school year! Many warm thoughts and blessings to the parents, also! I hope everyone has a glorious day!
