Everywhere I look, it’s “back to school” this, “back to school” that. Between the grocery store, the doctor’s office, and especially Instagram and Facebook, I can’t go 30 minutes without being reminded that I need to prepare my lunchbox and start sharpening my pencils.
Having no school-aged children myself (my eight-month-old isn’t leaving my side anytime soon!), this jargon falls flat on me. Still, for many of us, the end of summer means getting back into a routine, whether that means ceasing the incessant summer travel, reinforcing bedtimes, or starting to cook more at home.
