BACK TO SCHOOL

OVER THE COURSE OF MANY, MANY BACK TO SCHOOL SEASONS I KNOW THE CHAOS AND UPHEAVAL THAT IT CAN CAUSE . SOMETIMES IT’S EXCITEMENT, SOMETIMES IT’S DREAD, BUT NO MATTER THE FEELINGS THERE IS A WAY TO BE MORE ORGANIZED AND INTENTIONAL ABOUT GETTING READY FOR THE YEAR AND KEEPING A CONSISTENT PATTERN THAT MAKES LIFE EASIER.

I’VE CREATED SAMPLE AND BLANK CHECKLISTS, RECIPES AND MY BEST TIPS AND TRICKS TO SMOOTHLY ENDURE THE SCHOOL YEAR. FROM BREAKFAST, LUNCH, SNACKS, TO GETTING HOMEWORK AND CHORES DONE, WHILE ALSO PLANNING IN MUCH NEEDED TIME TO REST.

I HOPE YOU WILL FIND THESE USEFUL AND KNOW THAT I WILL BE PRAYING DAILY THAT YOUR KIDS ARE SAFE, HAPPY AND CONTENT THROUGH THEIR SCHOOL YEAR TOO! .
