I can’t believe we’re wrapping up August already! We’re quickly getting back into the swing of things and thought I’d share some of my back to school tips that have helped us 💙 🌟 Having a morning routine checklist (I don’t know how I would get 4 kids out the door without this 😅) 🌟 Stocking up on lots of healthy snacks, and always having an “emergency snack” on hand (in the car, purse) 🌟 Color coding our calendar (each person in our family of 6 has their own color. 🌈 #gamechanger ). We keep a weekly dry erase schedule with everything on our fridge so we don’t miss anything. This is the #1 thing that keeps me on track. 🌟 One on one time with kids, even during the busiest weeks. Make time to check in 🫶 🌟 Everyone has their own file on a wall organizer where all the non-urgent papers that come home go. I sort through the folders at least a couple times a week when I have time. It keeps me organized and everything in one place! 🌟 Adding extra Vitamin C 🍊 for back to school {IYKYK} 🌟 Having a separate email account for all school items & activities. 🌟 I try to do as much as I can the night before when possible. Pack the lunches, pick out the outfits (including shoes + socks!). Mornings always go smoother when we do prep the night before ~ PS. Anyone remember what this closet used to look like? Sharing a peek in stories 🙈 and so happy we finally gave it a makeover (it’s become the perfect after school drop zone 👏🏼) 📸Photos by @erinkonrath 💙 #smpliving #blueandwhitedecor #serenaandlily #coastalliving #wallpaperwednesday #backtoschool #southernhomemag #dropzone #coatcloset #homedecor #moderncoastal #hgtvhome #thehomeinsp #hgtv #inspire_me_home_decor #instahome #tuckernucking #cratestyle
