We know. It feels like summer just started, but somehow the beach days, flip flops and warm sunsets are coming to an end.
This can only mean one thing: school is starting up again for the kids in our lives.
Before the learning kicks off, make sure they have everything they need for a successful 2022-23 school year. This includes classroom essentials, planners, backpacks, lunchboxes and needed electronics.
But you can’t forget about the most fun part of back to school shopping: the clothes.
Oh yes, it’s time to lock in some new jeans, fresh sneakers, cool tees and more. But we know back to school shopping can quickly become overwhelming — especially with the current inflation crisis.
