My guys have been sleeping in a lot more, which is awesome, but in a few weeks\u2026not so awesome! So, before that first day of school hits, start planning your school morning routine. What time does everyone need to get up in order to eat breakfast, get ready and get out the door or on the bus? Are you making lunches the night before or in the morning? It\u2019s good to have a game plan in place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><span>Get Bedtime on Track<\/span><\/u><\/strong><span> &#8211; Kids still going to bed super late? Unless you\u2019re prepared to deal with SUPER grumpy kids every morning, it\u2019s time to start implementing an earlier bedtime NOW. You don\u2019t have to do it all at once, but maybe slowly start making bedtime earlier and earlier as we inch towards back to school time. It will make things a little bit easier come September!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><span>Do a Little Summer Reading<\/span><\/u><\/strong><span> \u2013 During the school year, our guys always read for a half hour before bed. But routines change a bit in the summer with baseball two or three nights a week, and sometimes we hit the drive-in and before you know it\u2026it\u2019s August and they haven\u2019t picked up a book in over a month! Not ideal. So, start making reading time a priority again so they\u2019re prepared (and maybe even ahead of the game!) for back to school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><span>Make a School Supplies List<\/span><\/u><\/strong><span> \u2013 Don\u2019t know what they need? Ask when the school opens a week or two before the first day of school or ask a fellow Mom friend who has already had a child in that grade. Do they need markers or pencil crayons\u2026or both? Pencils and erasers? Headphones? Binders? It\u2019s always good to have an idea of what they need before school starts so you\u2019re not scrambling later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><span>Start Back-to-School Shopping<\/span><\/u><\/strong><span> \u2013 A lot of us wait until the we\u2019re closer to the start of school before we go out shopping for new back to school clothes and shoes. But let me tell you, if you wait until the week before school starts\u2026those shoe racks will be BARE! Instead, make a list of what you need and maybe grab a few things here and there in the weeks leading up to school. You\u2019ll be much more prepared, and more likely to find the items you want before they sell out!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>September can be a chaotic time of year, so planning ahead is a MUST! I hope these tips help you tackle the new school year a little more prepared and organized!
