You’ve got this, friend!
This was a SUPER CUTE tea station not too long ago This was a SUPER CUTE tea station not too long ago.

But school starts tomorrow and we needed a space for homework + backpacks, so here we are! 

📲 Charging station for all devices because those babies don’t go into bedrooms, period. 

🖍️ Planter cups for every kind of pen or pencil or marker a student could possibly want.

🌼 Flowers for me because I cannot get enough of cut flowers in my 40’s. I LOVE THEM. 

This space is right between our kitchen and dining table. Is it the cutest ever? No, it’s not. But it’s super functional and keeps our priorities top of mind - no screens upstairs, family time in the evenings even if that includes homework, our house is meant to be lived in, not photographed. 

As the school year starts, ask yourself: “What can I do to make our spaces more functional? What activities do we need to be able to do here? How can I make that even easier?”

Function over fashion. I promise it’s worth it!

Alright, let's talk back-to-school meal prep!⁠
⁠
With school starting soon (today for my kids! 😭), the mental load of meal planning kicks up fast - but I’ve found a few simple things that help me stay sane:⁠
⁠
🍎 Create a Lunch Station.⁠
This little cart makes packing lunches super easy, and kid led. I have a sign that notes what exactly they need to pack, and that makes the next tip pretty genius ⬇️⁠
⁠
🧃 Teach the kids to pack their own lunches⁠
They can grab what they need from the fridge, pantry, or lunch station when they know what to look for. We keep things super simple - think fruit, protein, and one treat.⁠
⁠
🥪 Freeze-ahead sandwiches⁠
PB&J on sourdough freezes beautifully when you put the peanut butter on both sides with the jelly in the middle - no soggy bread! We make a week’s worth and toss them straight into lunchboxes frozen. Ready by noon!⁠
⁠
📋 Use the whiteboard⁠
We write out dinners, leftovers, and grab-n-go options so everyone knows what’s available - and I don’t have to answer “What’s for dinner?” 14 times.⁠
⁠
What’s helped YOU simplify meals during the school year?⁠
⁠
👇 Bonus tip: Our Back To School Prep Pack has worksheets for planning easy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners - perfect for this season! I'll send you the whole pack for free when you comment SCHOOL below!
Ever feel like keeping your family’s schedule st Ever feel like keeping your family’s schedule straight requires a full-time assistant? 😅⁠
⁠
Same.⁠
⁠
But over the years, we’ve landed on a calendar system that’s simple, visual, and actually works - without needing a fancy command center or another trip to Target!⁠
⁠
Here's our 4-part calendar setup that helps us stay sane during the school year:⁠
1️⃣ Digital calendar (with alerts!)⁠
2️⃣ Paper calendar everyone can see⁠
3️⃣ Color-coding that keeps it clear⁠
4️⃣ A whiteboard that saves my brain (and diverts all "what are we doing today?!" questions)⁠

We’re talking:⁠
🗓️ How to set up a central calendar and command center to keep everyone informed + on schedule.⁠
🥪 How to free yourself up from having to pack a school lunch, or put lunches together at home, EVER AGAIN.⁠
🤓 Planning strategies for every type of back-to-school responsibility.⁠
