Calendar Apps
The beginning of the school year can get pretty busy. With open houses, parent/teacher meetings, sports sign ups, and so much more, your schedule get can go from empty to slammed in a very short period of time.

Connect with other kids and parents by joining some local play groups! Swap tips and tricks with the parents while your kids make new friends. It’s always nice to have a little extra support.
Plan outfits ahead of time
We love this hack fromthe Eilei Shop! Use a hanging closet organizer to plan your kid’s outfits for each day of the week. This will help avoid the morning meltdown of trying to figure out what they want to wear.
Shop back to school sales
Back to school sales can get overwhelming. There are so many places to choose from. We recommend usingWalmart’s back to school sales. Not only do they have sales on clothes, but they also have sales on school supplies as well!
Make an afternoon snack basket
Curb those sweet cravings after school by creating a snack basket! You can put granola, apples, bananas, yogurt, etc in a basket for them to pick. This will help keep your kid’s hunger at bay before dinner while still being healthy!
Grab and go breakfast
Let’s face it, waking up in the morning is tough and making breakfast at the crack of dawn is even worse. Instead, make things like healthy muffins on the weekend and freeze them for the week. Here are some of ourfavorite recipes.
The beginning of school can be daunting, but these hacks will help you stay organized while your child starts a new chapter. Let us know what hacks you like to use and if any of these work for you!
