5 Things to do in Lubbock, Texas

Today, Julia from In the Afternoon is sharing some of the best children’s books for Back-to-School. My littlest is starting pre-school in a couple of weeks, and although I don’t think she’s afraid (she seems excited!), I love the idea of easing her fears and helping her prepare with one of these fun stories. It’s…
