7 SIMPLE WAYS TO GET ORGANISED FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL BLISS

As summer winds down and the school term sneaks up, the transition from holiday mode to back-to-school can feel a little overwhelming. But don’t stress, lovely Mums! With a bit of preparation and planning, you can make the back-to-school period a breeze — and maybe even find a moment to enjoy that cup of tea while it’s still hot.

Here are 7 practical tips to help you and your kids get ready for the new school year:

1. Do a Uniform Check - Before the first day of school creeps up, take a moment to try on uniforms, hats, and shoes.
2. Stock Up on Supplies - The back-to-school sales are everywhere, so it’s the perfect time to tick off that school supplies list.
3. Set Up a Command Centre - Create a dedicated space in your home where school bags, lunchboxes, and shoes can live.
4. Ease Into a Routine - Start easing your kids (and yourself!) back into a routine a week or two before school starts.
5. Prep the Pantry - Packing lunches doesn’t have to be a daily chore you dread. Take some time to stock up on healthy, easy-to-grab snacks like crackers, popcorn, or fruit cups.
6. Label Everything - eriously, everything. School jumpers, water bottles, lunchboxes, hats — if it can be left behind, it probably will be.
7. Plan for You Time - Don’t forget to carve out a little time for yourself. Whether it’s a coffee with friends, a quiet walk, or a good book, a happy Mum is an organised Mum. You deserve it
