This year has been a weird one to say the least. With the beginning of school just around the corner for most of the country, I thought it would be fun to share some ideas to celebrate the big milestone! I put together ideas that work for anyone – whether you’re homeschooling, in person schooling, virtual schooling, or a combination of both. They’re great ways to celebrate the return to school at home with your kids right now!
