Shop early and prepare early! :)
Prepare by getting back into our routine the week before school starts.
Pack and lay everything out the night before.
Back to school can be stressful, so we make sure we empty backpacks right after school so we don't miss anything, get the kiddos to bed early and lay out clothes the night before. My kiddos are night owls, so the less we have to do in the morning, the better!!!
Make a great calendar with all the important dates!
By shopping early before everything is picked over!
Buying back-to school during tax-free days
using coupons
Get everything ready and set out the night before so everything runs smoothly in the morning.
No kids here so, thankfully, don't have to worry about anything back-to-school (except the bus traffic in the morning)!
Organization is key for our BTS to go smoothly. We do our best to keep things stress-free by celebrating, taking pics and enjoying the little moments.
I just try to prepare and get organized the best I can! My son starts 5th Grade this year!
Practice getting up earlier the week before school starts.
I usually try and stock up on sales and always use my shopping apps
Getting what we need now and more after school starts, when we can get what is needed for each class'
