After a crazy busy summer with lots of family time – both the good-relaxing-enjoying kind and the hair-pulling-sister-brother-constant-fighting kind, we’re slowly getting into our back-to-school routines.

Eat Together – Some dinners go better than others, but if we’re all home we definitely all eat together – no cell phones or tablets! It’s the...
