Ah, fall -- fun or frantic?

Beth Reeber Valone
MichMoms Editor

Wow, summer went by fast and the kids are back to school! Did you take photos of your son or daugther's first day of school? If so, please share them with us in our ReaderPix gallery. With fall comes a whole new routine for many of us: school and its many associated activities, sports, trips to the cider mill and pumpkin patches, etc. Do you love or hate this time of year?

Let's talk mom to mom!
