Stress-Free Back To School Prep: Clothing

Thinking about your kids going back to school (or maybe even yourself), can bring a wave of emotions. Maybe you are ready for the kids to get out of the house, out of your hair, and into a normal daily routine. Maybe you are loving every minute spent with your kids at home and dread the day you see the bus drive up and whisk your kids off to school.

Whatever the case or emotions may be, regardless, there is some form of back-to-school planning that needs to occur. In order to have a stress-free back to school “season”, you DREAM of having everything in order so that the first day of school isn’t filled with such angst.

Seems like a far-fetched dream, right? Well, I am going to take this time to help prepare you and your family to make this back-to-school season a BREEZE!

Take this time to clean out each closet and all of the drawers.

Look at EACH piece of clothing and decide:

• Has your child outgrown it? If so, can a sibling wear it?
• Is it worn out? Repairable?
• Does it match anything?

Write down how many of each item you feel your child needs. For example, if you think your child needs a total of 4 pairs of pants, decide what it needed yet. If your child needs 2 pairs of shoes, what kind?
