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!

My tip is to have clothes and lunches ready the night before

My best back to school tip is to get a good organizer to keep track of school dates, appts, etc to keep things running smoothly!
Make sure everyone gets plenty of sleep and has a good breakfast every morning.
best tip is to prepare the kids lunches the night before because you will be rushed in the morning

My best tip is to make sure you have a organized calender where you keep track of everyone’s activities and needs.
Buy plenty of hand sanitizer
always pack lunches, backpacks, and choose clothes the night before!
My best back to school tip is to have EVERYTHING the kids are going to need. Keep a supply of poster board, pens, pencils, lined paper, etc. somewhere that the kids can easily find on their own. It saves lots of aggravation for those Sunday nights when your child says those dreaded words, “Do we have any…..” and then tell you it’s for a project due THE NEXT DAY
Have a family calendar in the kitchen where everyone can see each others schedules/appts!
My back to school tip is keeping a calendar of when stuff is due so you dont lose track!
My best tip is to try to do as much over the weekend — prepping what you can for lunches, organizing paperwork, planning outfits, etc. — to make life a whole lot easier when the school week begins!
I think making lists, or using a dry erase board to list activities/events of the week, is a good way to keep track of everything
my best back to school tip is to get prepared early. do not wait until the last minute and try to get everything done the night before school starts. you will be tired and get frustrated!
Get things done in advance!
I entered the Western Chiefs raingear giveaway.
we make sure to wash our hands a lot and I keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer in my sons backpack.
I pack backpacks and lunches the night before
Get everything done ahead of time that you can- have the things you need for projects so you aren’t running out at the last second, papers signed, money grabbed, lunches and backpacks packed, shoes found, etc before going to bed, and have the coffee ready when you first wake up!
My best back to school tip is to adjust your schedule if possible to make sure you are up and awake before kids start waking up.
Have everything ready to go in advance!
I pack the kids backpacks, lunches and set out clothes the night before.
Prepare the night before, get clothes out, backpack packed and lunch boxes filled. Morning are crazy enough without having to worry about doing all of this while getting the little ones up and fed. thank you!
Do as much as you can the night before.

Pick out your outfit the night before!
get back on a school sleeping schedule the week before school starts so it is not so hard to go to sleep and get up on time the first day back

When it comes to back to school the best thing to do is make sure that you have all the things they will need on day one…that way you don’t have to hurry out and get something last minute.
Halloween Express Review & $75 Giveaway
Eat a good breakfast every morning. Thanks for the giveaway.
A daily vitamin and an extra shot of vitamin C keeps me feeling better about sending my kids off to a germ ridden school day!

Prepare the night before. Get clothes set out and breakfast ready to go to minimize the rush in the morning.
Consider gas prices before you run all over to several stores trying to catch sales at all of them. It might be better on your wallet and your nerves to shop at one or two stores nearby for everything.
Make sure your kids get adequate rest! My kids go to bed at 8:30 and they are 8, 9, and 13. The brain needs good rest to absorb knowledge!
Just buy a couple outfits before school… then get the rest at the clearance sales!
Have kids dress in layers.
go to bed EARLY, lay cloth out the night befoew.
my tip is make sure the kids have a fulfiling breakfast each day,this makes a great big difference!!!!
Prepare the night before

Get everything ready the night before- clothes, jacket, and bag
I entered the Britax giveaway.
While the sales are on buy extras of things that’ll run out during the school year
Keep a routine, we keep our backpacks by the front door, have our breakfast planned the night before and get the kids to start washing their hands more often

i always had the kids get their backpacks ready the night before
Don’t skip out on breakfast! It really is the most important meal of the day.
