The Chaos and Excitement of Back to School Time
Ah, back to school time!!! The magical season when moms everywhere do a happy dance while simultaneously shedding a single tear. It's a time of shopping for school supplies, new backpacks, the latest clothing and shoe trends, packing lunches, and snacks LOL, and trying to find that elusive balance between being supermom and maintaining your sanity.
As chaos arises, and your schedule becomes busier than rush hour traffic, fear not! With a little bit of planning and maybe some Ninja-like mind tricks, you can conquer this back-to-school madness like the superhero mom that you are.
Slaying the Shopping Dragon: Tips for Stress-Free Back-to-School Shopping
First things first, tackle that shopping list like it's a Black Friday sale. Arm yourself with coupons, sales flyers, and an unwavering determination to get the best deals possible. Check out your local thrift stores for awesome deals on clothing and don’t forget about the clearance rack and your favorite department stores. I prefer the online clearance section! Look for department stores that carry bulk school supply items, such as amazon.com for a seamless, one stop shop! Remember, saving money on those fancy pencils means more funds for that well-deserved iced latte in the morning.
Lunchbox Warrior: Packing Healthy and Delicious Lunches That Kids Will Love
Now let's talk about lunchtime. Packing lunches can feel like solving a Rubik's Cube while blindfolded. We don’t want to send the kids with unhealthy, boring or the same choices each day. We also don’t want to break the bank on the crazy price of groceries! But don’t worry! There are ways to get creative by creating some bento box magic or by whipping up some delicious make-ahead meals and snacks that will make your kids’ mouths water! Try to buy in bulk from department stores such as Sam’s club or Costco. (I separate the boxes of snacks, as soon as I get them, to avoid running out before our next shopping trip!
And hey, if all else fails, there's always pizza day at school. (just don’t forget to give them lunch money or you will find yourself, flying to their school at 11am!)
Embrace the Back-to-School Adventure and Enjoy this Exciting Time with Your Kids!
As we all know, (unless this is your kindergarten year, welcome to the club), finding balance in this crazy back-to-school whirlwind is no easy feat. But take heart in knowing that you're not alone in this juggling act. Reach out to fellow moms who are also navigating these treacherous waters and lean on each other for support! And remember, we are all in this madness together!
So strap on your superhero cape, work clothes, mom outfit (or yoga pants) and embrace this back-to-school adventure with all the humor and grace you can muster. You've got this, mama!
