Are you ready to go back to school? If you’re anything like me, you’re counting down the days until summer is over and the chaos of a three-month-long break ends. But the kiddos may be less excited, or maybe you’re just stressed, worrying about how to get everything ready and what to do before school starts again.
Every time July starts winding down, it’s like I can’t remember everything I just did last year. Where do I get the supply list from? What time does school start? Do we qualify for free or reduced lunch? What day is it? (Summer, I swear, will do this to you. It makes you lose your mind.)

That’s why it’s always a good idea to get prepared for the back to school rush early, and not wait until the last minute. And we’ve got a FREE printable to help! After all, it’s so easy to feel like you’ve got everything under control, only to realize that you forgot to take care of three other things.
And the best part? Back to school prep is good for more than just getting ready for school! It’s a chance to go through everyone’s closets and get rid of those old, tattered clothes, or the ones that don’t fit anymore. It’s an opportunity to do a little organizing and decluttering, which will make the house run a little easier until school starts.
So take advantage of our FREE printable, and get a back to school checklist ready! From getting clothes ready to working on school supplies, it’ll help make that end-of-summer season a little bit easier to tackle. After all, we still have all of our kids running wild and crazy, right? We don’t know one — or ten — things on our list to make us feel insane.
The end of summer is an exciting time, both for us moms (who are SO ready for a break!) and for kids, who after months of summer fun are ready to get back into the classroom. Keep the excitement high and the stress low as you get ready!
