Depending upon which part of the country you live in your kids are either just getting out of school, or already winding up summer and about to head back to school. Here in the south the starting of school is drawing near, therefore I’ve got to begin thinking about being prepared.

It seems like the kids just started their summer break.

Wow these are all wonderful thank you I especially liked the prepare spiritually. I have never given this any thought before. I know our school started back today and the kids were real excited.
Back to school time is one of my most dreaded times of the year. Two kids to shop for and so many clothes to try on, yikes!
I haven't even started on anything yet but there's still time. Need to earn money to buy all that stuff first LOL. Thank you for these tips!

there is still so much i have to do to be ready for school i hate this time of year.
Thanks for all the back to school tips!I still have not got everything ready for kids yet,and school starts in one week here.
I have so many lists going right now, haha! I have two kids going to school this year. 🙂
My children are now grown, and it makes me giggle to see my daughter now doing the crazy getting ready for school "thing" with her children. I love being able to help them get ready but this time it is fun instead of stressful. 🙂
I don't have any kids but I still can't believe it's that time again. I am actually glad. The stores stay too crowded this time of year.
I always dreaded back to school shopping and now I just look at it like its half way to black Friday shopping time!
Love the great ideas for back to school but I'm not ready for summer to be over!
Back to school is always hectic. Thanks for the ideas on how to make things go more smoothly.

Great tips and post thanks for sharing
My son's backpack with all his supplies has been ready for a couple of weeks now. I think he still needs a box of tissues and his back to school supplies shopping will be complete. (Angie PreciselyMine)
I found another great post about making sundays (early) a review day to make sure that you are aware of all projects and homework your child has for that upcoming week
These are some great tips. We always move up the bed time about 2 weeks before school starts. It takes my daughter so long to get back into her routine.
thanks for sharing. i especially like Back to School Family Home Evening. one to try and implement in our family.
Love all the great posts, they are very helpful with the school starting process – thanks!

I love back to school shopping. It's fun and reminds me of my childhood
You know it's back to school time when you see adults running around the store with school lists in their hand and a cart full of paper, folders, pencils, glue etc.
