School is back in swing for me here in East Tennessee, and the first few days came and went so fast that it all seems like a blur now! I am always amazed at how that seems to happen. I feel like I am finally finding my "school groove"....thank goodness! I am a little behind on the back to school activities so I am going to play catch up and share some first day goodies with you!
