OK friends. It’s September, and just about everyone is back in school. I know a few schools don’t start until the 10th but for the most part, everyone’s back into the swing of things…including sharing germs. Kids in school=shared germs. There’s no way to avoid it. It happens every year.Kleenex’s Back to School Website has a lot of great tips for protecting your kids (and you) from those germs- and some FUN activities too!

set up & have a consistent routine
Start getting ready early so there is less stress.
This year I have one in Kindergarten and one in preschool. My best school tip is plan ahead…clothes, supplies, homework, lunches…just plan ahead.
start the school schedule a week early – getting up early, bedtime routines, etc.
The best tip I have is to take advantage of rebates! They may be a bit time consuming, but they can sure save some dough!
I commented on this post-emilie m offers affordable style
Freeze drinks & use as an ice pack in lunches for field trips
My best advice is to have the kids on a consistent schedule for bedtime, getting up and breakfast
Make sure kids get a good breakfast, even if a quick one, you can choose healthy things for kids like hard boiled eggs (cooked ahead), fruits like blueberries and other berries. These have been proven to improve test scores and keep a child focused.
go to sleep early!
right b4 school starts there are lots of kids consignment sales…use coupons and rebates to get school supplies free.
Breakfast is critical! Make sure the kids know it’s non-optional.
plan everything for the morning the night before so there’s no rushing.
