📚 Back to School Without the Stress: Simple Tips to Get Your Home Ready


SHOP THE COLLECTION
Summer flew by (again!), and just like that, it's back-to-school season. Between the early alarms, packed lunches, and never-ending supply lists, getting organized can feel like a full-time job. But here’s the good news: a little prep now makes the whole school year run smoother.

Here are a few easy tips — plus some smart, space-saving organizers for every corner of your back-to-school routine — to help you kick off the year calm, cool, and clutter-free.

✅ 1. Set Up a Drop Zone


You know that moment when your kid walks in, drops their backpack, kicks off their shoes, and leaves a trail of stuff through the house? Let’s fix that. Set up a little "home base" by the door: a hook for bags, a bin for shoes, and a basket or tray for lunch boxes and forms. It makes a big difference — and saves you from tripping over cleats and folders.

📚 2. Make a Homework Station (That Actually Works)


Your kid doesn’t need a Pinterest-perfect study space — just a quiet, comfy spot with good lighting and basic supplies nearby. Even better? Add a few smart organizers, like stackable drawer trays or a rolling cart, to keep everything in one place. No more running around the house for scissors or glue sticks mid-project!

🗃 3. Do a Quick Supplies Clean-Out

Before you buy anything new, go through last year’s supplies. Toss the broken crayons, test the markers, and recycle old papers. You might be surprised how much you already have — and how much space you’ll free up.


⏰ 4. Ease Into School Sleep Schedules

Summer sleep habits are hard to break, we get it. Try moving bedtime up by 15–30 minutes each night the week before school starts. Mornings will be way less painful (for everyone).

🍱 5. Prep Lunch Stuff Ahead of Time


Don’t wait until 7am to start slicing fruit or digging for that one clean lunchbox. Prep snacks and lunch ingredients in batches — chopped fruit, bagged crackers, string cheese, whatever works. Store them where kids can grab and help pack their own lunches.

🧘‍♀️ 6. Keep Afternoons Chill


After a long day at school, kids need a breather. Let them unwind a bit before diving into homework or activities. A snack, a little quiet time, even some screen time — it helps avoid meltdowns and resets the vibe.

🧺 7. Stay a Step Ahead with a Weekly Family Check-In

Every Sunday, take a few minutes to talk about the week ahead. What’s on the calendar? Who needs what? Are gym shoes clean? It sounds simple, but it keeps everyone on the same page and saves a lot of last-minute scrambling.
