Suddenly summer ends. Faced with the start of the new school year, relief and anxiety collide as the transition begins. Your to-do list multiplies with shopping, meetings, reprioritizing your schedule, and dealing with the stress of your student(s) entering a new classroom. How can you handle it all without losing your mind? Darlene and Julie talk about saving money on back-to-school necessities, how to talk to your kids about the emotional changes they’ll face, and even give you some ideas on caring for yourself during this often stressful change of seasons. Know this: you’ve got the grit and grace for this, mom! Listen as you shop or plan lunches—it’s time to get back in the swing of things!
