have everything setup and packed the night before so the morning is not a scramble
My daughter loves to come with me as we pick out a new book bag and cooler together!
School starts in August in our county, and rather than blow the whole back to school clothes budget right before the school year starts, we spend half the budget on as many pieces as possible, and save the other half to use during all the Labor Day Weekend sales in September.
Things go very smoothly when you don't have kids:)! I do like to pore over what stores have this tine of year.
Try to get what paperwork needs to be filled out and complete it all before school starts!
I LOVE the Paper Mate InkJoy gel pens in multiple colors. Makes grading papers easier and much more fun.
pack everything and have clothes laid out the night before. saves so much time in the mornings!
We do separate shopping trips for school supplies, which are delivered to school at an open house the week before school starts, and then for lunch packing supplies.
We always go to pick up theusual basics of back to school before the class lists come out and then after school starts get the specifics of what teachers want the kids to have. That way we miss a lot of the back to school shopping crowds.
We lay out their backpacks so we know we got all their supplies.
