Back to S----l!



Back to s----l!

At the risk of angering my 15 year old daughter, who forbids the use of the word "school" all summer, I'm afraid it is that time again.  Even as an adult, I feel the irresistible need to buy a notebook every fall! Back-to-school bargains can be had and finding them is a lot easier than you think.

My strategy for paying the lowest possible prices begins mid-summer with a list of everything I think I'll need.  My son just graduated college and my daughter is entering her Junior year of high school and I teach a weekly class at my church.  Over the years our back-to-school needs have evolved.

When Life Gives You Lemons...

First, I have to brag a little.  My dog Cookie was featured earlier this year in a great article in DNA Info, a
Cookie
site that covers local issues on Manhattan's East Side.  I am so embarrassed to say it took me this long to figure out how to get it into my blog!
I am a member of Community Board 8, an advisory board to the Manhattan Borough President.  I guess you could say Cookie is an honorary member!   Take a look at this article and then I'll get to the surprise...
