In Part 1 of our Back to School series, we're talking about the emotional side of heading into a new school year - not just for our kids, but for us as moms too. From the excitement (and relief!) to the guilt, overwhelm, and pressure to make everything "perfect," we're unpacking the mixed emotions that often come with this season.
