Life can return to normal, right?<\/p>\n<p>Whether you have school-aged children, are an empty nester, or haven\u2019t yet started a family of your own, there is something about \u201cBack To School\u201d that gets people excited to start a new chapter. \u00a0September is often chaotic, as work pressures seem to come fast and furious with just a few months remaining to achieve year-end goals, all the while trying to get our children on a school schedule.<\/p>\n<h2>Back to School Tips<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few tips to keep your home running smoothly for the new school year.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Practice, practice, practice. <\/strong>If you\u2019ve had the luxury of not having to wake up to alarm every day, you might be out of your morning routine, and chances are, your children are too. Start having the family go to bed at a more reasonable time and set the alarms so everyone can acclimate to getting up when they have to be out the door.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plan ahead and be prepared.<\/strong>\u00a0 No matter how old you are, one of the best ways to ease stress in the mornings is to do as much as you can the night before. From packing lunches, laying out the next day\u2019s clothes, or even setting the coffee maker \u2013 can all help ease the morning stress.\u00a0If your child is going to be going to a new bus stop, or walking to school for the first time, it can help ease their anxiety if you do a trial run a day or two before the first day.\u00a0 Why do you think you see so many school buses on the roads in the mornings leading up to the first day of school?\u00a0 They\u2019re getting their practice in, too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create a command center<\/strong>. Create a space by the door to ensure that the entire family can check this spot on their way out. Deck it out with an illustrated checklist (which doubles cute wall decor) to teach your younger ones how to stay on top of a schedule as you transition from summertime to school days. Post other important information here, such as the meals you\u2019re planning to make for the week, or a master calendar for soccer practice times, dentist appointments, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simplify the study station<\/strong>. Designate a space for homework and study time so that the kids can not only focus better, but stay organized with their at-home supplies. Fill up a shower caddy or organize a lazy Susan with pens, pencils, crayons, rulers, etc. to keep the space fully stocked and easily accessible for study time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meal prep Mondays<\/strong>. Maintain those homemade lunches and meals by taking one day a week to prep as much as possible for the week ahead. This way, everything is made in bulk and ready to just grab and go!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get help when you need it<\/strong>! \u00a0In today\u2019s world, there are so many resources available when you need an extra hand.\u00a0 Pretty much every grocery store will offer shop ahead services, where you order and pay for your groceries online, and then simply drive up and have them loaded into your trunk.\u00a0 (Or better yet, some will even deliver).\u00a0 There are a number of meal prep programs out there, such as Blue Apron.\u00a0 With the shopping and a lot of the prep work done, dinner can come together in a breeze.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Let Home Clean Heroes Help You!<\/h3>\n<p>And of course, don\u2019t be afraid to call <a href=\"https:\/\/homecleanheroes.com\">Home Clean Heroes<\/a> if the clutter and dust is too much.\u00a0 There are better things to do you with your precious free time than cleaning the house \u2013 like making memories with your families and friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahhh, September is upon us.\u00a0The swarm of tourists have left for the season, the weather is cooling a bit and children are returning to school.
