Back to School

As summer begins to wrap up and our focus shifts to the all-important back-to-school mindset, let’s take a minute to consider your next move. Each new school year there is an overwhelming sense of pressure to subscribe to a buying frenzy, which takes time and money, and additional space to store more things! This year, let’s consider the idea of getting your kids involved to take a realistic inventory of what you already have!

Shop kids' closets, and identify what they no longer want to wear, and what does not fit; only then can you determine what items you still need to purchase.  Not only does this provide the opportunity for involvement, it allows us as parents, the chance to instill good habits, awareness of waste, and sustainability of their personal space. 

Additionally, there are many effective and inexpensive ways to make shifts within the home to provide functionality and order as the school year begins. This includes erasable wall calendars in a visible, heavily trafficked space, hanging categorizing closet dividers, and hooked drop zones for their backpacks. Having shoes and socks organized, accessible, and at the front door is a game changer, and organizing your pantry so kids can easily grab what they need in the morning to get out of the house!

Keep the space user friendly, giving everyone a chance to succeed!
