The new school year is on the horizon, and we are starting to think about back to school organization ideas. Getting ready for a new school year can be fun, and it can be stressful. Anything you can do to start preparing now will make the beginning of the year easier for you and your family.
As a mom of preschoolers, back-to-school looks very different for us than it does for parents of older children. I asked my fellow bloggers to help me in compiling great back to school organization ideas for different ages and stages.
This is a list of resources that will help you get ready for the beginning of the school year. It includes tips and tricks for students of all ages.

It happens too fast!
Kids are grown, but have two grandsons that I keep in afternoon while parents are at work. One is starting Kindergarten, and one is going to second grade. I have to feed them dinner and do homework with them. (I am a retired KK teacher ). Drove me nuts when stuff was all over the house. I got two cloth covered containers to hold their stuff…..book bags, lunch boxes, toys, etc. made a homework center from bath carrier. Made life so much easier. No searching for their things, or pencils and crayons, etc.
Hi Susan! That sounds like the perfect solution. How lucky your grandsons are to have you helping them with their homework!
Perfect timing! I just started getting ready for the next school year a couple days ago. We homeschool so I’m lesson planning and trying to figure out how we’re going to get everything done. I can’t wait to buy new school supplies! 🙂
