"FRESHEN UP"

Clean slates are always welcome in my book - and back-to-school is the ultimate.  High hopes and fresh supplies get everybody grooving, and this year we are adding two new tools in our house to maintain smooth sailing as the year progresses. Both from the Lillian Vernon catalog (an easy go-to for products like this) are the Homework Organizer - a child's size command central, and the  Days of the Week Organizer - to make mornings a breeze.  High hopes? Maybe...but fingers crossed!
PS: Some heavier fare in this interesting NYT read.
