Back to school has always been “a thing.” I have to say it’s really the one time of year that I feel has always been crazy, even before Pinterest and social media. I remember deading it as a tomboy and being dragged to the local Jamesway (yes, remember that!?) and then the actual mall over an hour away to hit up JC Penney for new outfits and UGH – dresses….

*This is a sponsored post on behalf of PackIt. My opinions are my own – of course! Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com.

So what does a mom do with a kid who LOVES math – you get him enrolled in a math class… Keep Reading
