15 Organization Tips For Back To School
We’ve got about 6 weeks left until that yellow school bus begins making rounds and the kids are wearing their cool new back to school clothes. Are you ready? I feel bad to say it, but I’m definitely ready. We just wrapped up our awesome summer vacation in the mountains of Colorado (where I’m from), and are literally driving back to Chicago with an 8, 6 and 1 year old, + 3 dogs. And a partridge in a pear tree. I’m a little stressed thinking about how much time we have left before back to school, and not a whole lot planned to entertain the kids these last few weeks.
But I know the end of summer vacation will come quickly, so I wanted to put together some ideas for how to get the kids prepped and everyone organized, for back to school time. Hopefully this will be of benefit to some of you as well!
1. Get those backpacks ready!! Here are some cute ones, if you are in need of something new…
