Who is ready for the kids to go back to school? If you say no, then I accuse you of not spending enough time with your kids. Look, I adore my kids. They are my favorite people in the world. But, they are tiny terrors who like to bang on the door when I am peeing, who get in fights, who make messes, I just broke up a fight because one brother was playing with his LEGO’s the wrong way. The complaining brother was not even playing with the LEGO’s, he just through he should be a tiny dictator. My daughter has rolled her eyes so much and proclaimed she is bored. In short, it is time for them to go back to school.
However, with school comes a crazy schedule, so many papers, rushed mornings, busy evenings, and a deep need for organization. A group of bloggers and I got together to share some simple, easy, and life altering tips for the back to school time. There is something for everyone. Cute ideas for teachers, creative ways to pack lunches, schedule organizing, paper organizing. You name it and these ladies created it. I shared two of my projects here, the
Mudroom organization satation and a simple
shadowbox morning routine project. This list allows you to go see all of the 18 great ideas. Each link takes you to the full tutorial and the awesomely talented bloggers blog. Hang out, look around, cry that the summer is over. I get it, I am happy to get down to a schedule but will miss the sleeping in, lazy days of summer. Also, I am pretty obsessed with my crew of littles and even the tantrums and craziness of them home all day is still perfection to me. Well, except when they spill their drink at all three meals. Then I am over it. Back to school time it is!

I've got no one to send back to school, but I love that ruler succulent planter!
That is such a creative planter!
Love these !!!! Especially the wreath and the ruler Planter !!! My kids go back tomorrow and I'm excited for a new year.
Oh wow, your kids start early. I still have about 3 weeks before we go back. I am however doing the dreaded back to school supply shopping tomorrow. WHo is ready to spend crazy money on crayons!!?
A lot of cool projects here. I'm a teacher, so I always have such mixed feelings at the end of summer. It's such an abrupt change from carefree days to high stress. My older son will be leaving for college soon, so I'll be in uncharted territory this year.
Wow you have a lot of changes coming up! I still have little ones, but feel like them going off to college will come way too soon. I hope you got to enjoy your summer and are ready to fall back into school!
So many great ideas for going back to school. Thanks for sharing.
I am so happy you enjoyed them all!
Great ideas here! As a teacher, I agree with Marcy on the mixed feelings about school starting back, but creative fun helps!
I am sure it is mixed feelings for sure when you are a teacher. I hope you have a wonderful year in your classroom!
These are the cutest back to school projects! ☺️
This is a awesome bunch of bloggers with great projects, I am happy you enjoyed them!
I want a crayon wreath for my own home – too cute! And the ruler succulent planter would be adorable on a little desk.

I am such a sucker for storage, and little cute cubbies are the cutest version of storage to exist. Love it!
