Packing an organized bag… what does that have to do with back-to-school? Well…
After an amazing summer of beach trips, long hikes and lazy afternoons, it can be hard to get into the back-to-school mindset of schedules and homework. If you’re like my family, the first couple weeks of school can be a blur of new routines and trying to get acclimated to new teachers and expectations.
Once the school year kicks off, it becomes even more important to stay organized and keep up with a schedule packed with different activities for each kid. I’ve learned that when running from activity to activity it’s important to have some must-have supplies in my bag. Packing an organized bag of nutritious snacks, homework supplies, first aid necessities, my trusty to-do list, and a couple of other items ensures the kids show up on time and happy for every practice and lesson aaaaaaaand that I have all I need for my busy days as well. Which makes ME happy. I love feeling prepared!
