I still can’t believe that school is approaching quickly. I know that for some, school has already started. My daughters will be going back to school at the end of this month. There is so much to do when you’re getting your kids ready for school again. It can be tough to get back in the routine of school as well. You have to get all your children’s school supplies, buy new clothing, get their lunches ready, and a lot more.
While being a busy mother, it can get tough to get back in the routine of school. I have to make sure I get my kids up on time, get them on the bus, and get ready for work for myself as well. I have a few tips that I use for when I get my kids ready for school each year after their summer vacation.
TIPS:
*About two weeks before school starts I get my kids on a bedtime schedule for school. I want to make sure they’re getting use to going to bed early again. My daughters get up at 6:30 on school days, so I have them go to bed at 7:30-8 on a school night. I think it’s important to have kids start getting to bed earlier before school starts. This will help them get back in the bedtime routine for school.
*Get kids clothes set out the night before. I always make sure to get my girls outfits out the night before. This makes it easier so you’re not wasting all that time in the morning to get their outfits ready. My girls choose what they want to wear to school, so I help them out the night before. We always set them out on the couch at night, that way when they get up they can grab them and get dressed right away.
*If your kids get home lunches, pack them the night before. My daughters usually eat school lunch, but sometimes they’ll eat home lunch. They usually have home lunches when there is something at school that they don’t like. I find it way easier to get these lunches prepared the night before. This also saves on time in the morning.
*Plan your shopping. When shopping for school supplies and clothing, plan ahead. You can check out for the best deals online or in some of the flyers. I personally love to save money, so I try to find the best deals around. I make sure to make a day of school shopping so that I don’t have to drive back somewhere to get anything. I get all my school shopping done in one day.
*I also love having snacks available for my girls for after school. They’re usually hungry when they get off the bus. It’s great to have something ready for them when they get home from school. Sometimes I’ll have fruit or veggies cut up and put in the fridge til they get home. Other times I have some other snacks that are ready for them. It’s nice to have all these ready for when they get off the bus each day.

We keep Little Bites in the house all the time. We all love snacking on them – including the adults!
Great to hear that! I love them too!
Little Bites blue berry muffins are the best. They’re the perfect size for snacking, and they’re super tasty. I keep them around as a snack when I’m deep into work.
I’m glad you love them too! I certainly love them myself.
I have this bread in my fridge. My boys love peanut butter and jelly on it.
That’s great! I love the bread too! It’s great for many different kinds of sandwiches.
Little bits are so delicious and such a nice lunch time treat. Love the creativity of the lunchbox.
Thanks! I love those too. They’re so good.
School starts here on Sept. 6th. Preparing everything the night before is a great idea. Your fish sandwich is so cute.
Yep! I always make sure things are ready for the morning. Makes it less stressful in the morning too.
They can be really hungry when they come home from school and it would be nice to have some snacks prepared for them to get them through until dinner. Preparing everything at night is an awesome hack, you have less worries in the morning!
Exactly! I always make sure to have everything ready the night before.
What a fun lunch idea. Great sweepstakes, too! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
I love mini-foods! And anything Entenmann’s is always a huge hit with my family. The mini-muffins are a great lunchbox addition.

Little Bites Blueberry muffins are awesome! They’re the perfect size! My son loves it!
I agree! They’re the best.
Starting the new bedtime routine a couple weeks before school starts is a great idea. It makes it so much easier for the kids to get into a routine before the first day of school.
It sure does!
I think every kid comes home with the intention of eating a delicious snack after school. Little Bites is definitely a snack of choice in our home! Our whole family enjoys them. 🙂

Yup, getting them off the summer sleep in schedule is the first key, if you don’t get that, it makes everything else very hard.
Yep!

This is a cute idea. I need to make my son something like this. We were struggling to get him to eat lunch. He is in Kindergarten and was talking too much during lunch and not eating very much.
That’s not good. Hopefully he will eat more this school year.
We get the clothes out the night before too.My son loves Little Bites. Choc. Chip is his fave.
Great! It’s so much easier doing things a head of time.
This is so great and I have this on our fridge. I bet two boys would love this
Awesome! They’re wonderful products too.
I need to stock up on snacks because school starts tomorrow and the little one is always hungry when he gets home from school. Will check this out.
Great! My daughters start school tomorrow as well. We’ve got these for snacks for them for after school.
My family love Nature’s Harvest bread and Little bites snacks. The blue berry is my son’s favorite.
I’m glad your family loves them too. The blueberry ones are my favorite as well.
It’s so important to plan ahead to have yummy healthy snacks for back to school. If you don’t plan right you’ll end up spending way too much and giving them not so healthy choices.
I completely agree with that.
Awe the heart is so cute. My daughter loves the muffins.
The heart is actually the fishes tail. It’s a fish. 🙂
