I love back to school time. It always makes me so happy to be able to shop for school supplies and pack backpacks. We make back to school shopping easy by having the list from the school ahead of time. That way at least the essentials are brought even if certain teachers request something different.
We try to plan as mnuch as we can the night before!
My son is old enough to take care of himself. But I do iron his clothes for the week Sunday evening so that he just grab them from the closet to wear.
Everything laid out the night before, makes mornings so much easier!
We start our back to school routine a week early so that everyone is well adjusted before the big day.
I have 10 yo twins (boy and girl) and I made a toiletry kit for each of them. Dollar tree was great for this project. I was tired of all the mess between the two of them. SO far mornings are great. Having a child with ADHD is tiresome and this has cut down on the arguments and has allowed me to keep my sanity.
Staying organized and preparing ahead makes back-to-school season go smoothly.
Plan the night ahead, even the week out! Getting outfits ready for all week.
We start getting a few weeks prior to school starting; earlier bedtimes, less screen time, storing summer clothes.
For university students, try to get a copy of the syllabus before the semester begins
I set up a "drop off" station at home by the front door. Everyone drops their bags there and then brings the lunch boxes to the kitchen. Routine is the best way to stay on track.
Don't have kids.
Always get ready the night before so mornings are a breeze.
