It’s just about that time! I’m here to help you navigate back to school with ease. Check out my list below!
Appointments:
Now is a great time to schedule those yearly check-ups and dental cleanings. I have always paired this task with back to school so it’s easy to remember.
Haircut:
Schedule a haircut before the start of school so they can go in feeling fresh and their best. If you are in the NYC area, Liam recommends Dasi Salon.
Clothes:
Liam loves all the designer styles from Bambini Fashion. He somehow just keeps growing so I definitely needed to refresh his wardrobe for school this year. We also made sure to snag a raincoat from Save the Duck.
Supplies:
You may not get a supply list until the start of school, but there are a few things you can count on needing. We love SprayGround backpacks, Bentgo lunchboxes, and stocking up on Liam’s favorite Prime Hydration Drinks.
Sports Gear:
If your child is playing a fall sport, don’t forget the gear! Have they grown out of their cleats? Do they need a new helmet? Has their bat seen better days? Take inventory. Liam is partial to his Adidas cleats.
For fun:
There are two traditions we have for the start of school. First, I let Liam pick a final summer activity the weekend before school starts. It can be an outing to a sporting event, going to play some Top Golf with friends, or just a movie/gaming night at home. His choice how we cap off our summer fun. Second, I make sure to have a special sweet treat ready when he gets home from his first day, like a sprinkles explosion cake from Flour Shop.
For Mom:
You made the summer magical. You completed the registrations and the paperwork. You got them haircuts and new clothes and supplies. You coordinated schedules. You deserve something for you too! I bet you didn’t think to refresh your wardrobe when you were preparing the kids for the year ahead.
