August 22, 2013
First day of school 2013
Most of us have survived the initial transition to back to school by now! It's still a work in progress at our house as sleep schedules are still quite off from summer and the EARLY morning alarm is quite deafening! But off we go, with the long Labor Day weekend to savor and the bustling calendar of area fall events.
 
Share your lunch tips and don't miss the pre-season Jr. Blues games.  As always, share your fun family pics so we can feature in the Eupdate and online!

Hope to see you Saturday from 2-6 in the SpringfieldMoms kids' area at the Old Capitol Blues & BBQ!

Best,
Kim Leistner, Founder
