Instead of giving you all of my tips on organizing for back to school, I want to give you five simple things that you can do to rock back to school this year. Then, I’m also going to share all sorts of other fun things with you.
OK, these are five things that I’m doing, and they are working really well. You know what I always say, keep it simple sisters! 🙂
How to Rock Back to School
- Post a weekly schedule for everyone to see.
- Don’t sign up too soon, choose your volunteer commitments carefully.
- Teach your kids to manage their own responsibilities, as much as possible.
- Plan simple and easy dinners, especially on busy weeknights.
- Prep lunches and snacks once a week.
If you are looking for more tips, tools, and techniques to better organize for back to school, see my back to school organizing page, it’s filled with all sorts of goodies.
Podcast Love
Over the past year, I had heard through blogs and social media about The Happy Hour podcast with Jamie Ivey, but I had yet to jump on the bandwagon. Well…I’m so glad that I did! Jamie is amazing. I love listening to her podcasts, I always walk away with so much inspiration, and usually a new book recommendation too! If you are looking for a fun podcast, check it out.
Organizing Survey
I was very grateful for all of your responses to my survey, thank you so much. (And it’s still open if you want to take it.) Big congratulations to Jennifer S. on winning the Target gift card, happy shopping! I’m so glad the gift made your week!
The reason I asked for your input is because I’m doing some research for a project, and I’m also wanting to know what organizing topics I should address in future blog posts. So THANK YOU for helping me learn so much!!! I’ll take some time to share more of the results in a later post.
Instagram Love
Hands down, my favorite social media avenue is Instagram. From the gorgeous pictures, to the encouraging quotes, to the snapshots of familiar faces, it’s a plethora of inspiration. But above all, I love stumbling across accounts that convict me to live with more faith, hope, and love.
These are three of my favorites, if you scroll through their feeds you’ll see their amazing stories. Each of these ladies represent so much faith, hope, and love.

Lastly, with a new season upon us, I wanted to offer you a fall discount on my Health + Home Planner. I’m offering a 50% discount from now until the end of the month off of the planner. ***DISCOUNT CODE is HAPPYFALL (enter at checkout).
