Five Quick Back to School Tips

tech <h3>Back to school is a time full of excitement and anticipation! As with any new season, there is also a lot of adjustment. Here are some quick tips to make your back to school season a breeze. </h3> <h3>Create a Homework Caddy</h3> <p>We’re all familiar with the idea of a cut-out space designated for homework and task completion. For those with kids who like to mix it up, a homework caddy provides the perfect middle ground. The materials are the same, but the location can change to add new focus and light to the subject matter. Fill a basket with this year’s requirements and get to work!</p> <h3>Plan Go-To Lunches</h3> <p>We know it’s great to mix it up but having some go-to lunches to pack in a snap helps on those days when time seems to get away from us! Healthy non-perishables that can be quickly added to your reusable containers are perfect. Humus, crackers, cut up veggies, some boiled eggs, and grab-and-go fruit are all quick and easy solutions, too.</p> <p><img alt="School Kids Writing on Chalkboard" class="featured featured featured featured" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.usmre.com/5899/blog/Chalkboard%20Kids.jpg" style="width: 300px; height: 197px; float: left;"></p> <h3>Schedule, Schedule, Schedule</h3> <p>Life gets busy fast! To make sure everyone is on the same page, work together and plan how you’ll keep a schedule maintained. There are so many solutions to get this done that you’re sure to find one that works for you, from online calendars, to white boards, to good old physical calendars, there’s a planner for us all.</p> <h3>Take Care of You</h3> <p>Setting a small ritual for yourself can help get each day off to a great start. Quick face mask? Walk the dog before the kids get up? Even a short breathing exercise if you have a couple of minutes can help ease tension and re-focus for the day ahead.</p> <h3>Outsource</h3> <p>When things pile up and you need a second set of hands, you can always outsource! There are automated systems for so much, delivery for everything under the sun, sitters for your kids and pets, and professionals for maintenance and advice on your home.</p> <h3>No matter the task, you’ve got this back to school season covered!</h3>
