A Little List
Everything for Hoboken parents, in one little list · Aug 24–30
|
| Good morning, Hoboken. The air has finally lost that heavy, swampy quality that turns the walk to the playground into a tactical mission, but the impending doom of the first day of school is starting to settle in. We have roughly one week left of pretending that pajamas count as daytime attire before the scheduled chaos of backpacks and lunch packing begins in earnest. |
