This is No Bologna!

It's the last day of summer and you know what that means...one last trip to the beach, a round of mini golf and an outing to Market Basket to buy some salami. As excited as I am for the kids to go back to school - and I'm not going to sugar coat it, I'm thrilled - I am not looking forward to packing lunches. Since our school doesn't have a hot lunch program, it's two lunches, every day. Pack, unpack, pack, unpack...and of course they discourage pre-packaged snacks which I frankly ignore. I just can't resist those overpriced 100-calorie snack packs, granola bars and cheese sticks. Does that make me a bad mother? Just a rhetorical questions.

For you last minute school shoppers, check out shoebuy.com - they have brand name shoes, free shipping and quick delivery.
