Moms Talk: School Daze

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart mothers take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Here's this week's question:

Back to school days! What are you doing to prepare your kids for ahhh!!!! early wake-ups and bedtimes, school lunches, scheduled days and homework? Do share your tips and tribulations so us new to the game can be prepared.

Join our Moms Council (Marissa Amoni, Amy Perry, Steph Motenko, Liz Spillane and Tiffany Prysmiki) in the comments below.

Note: This is Marissa Amoni's last week leading the Moms Council. Thanks very much for all your hard work, Marissa! Don't worry, Moms Talk will continue next week. We'll tell you more about the new arrangement then.
