20+ Organizing Resources for Back-to-School

I know you probably don’t want to think about it… but the start of the school year is JUST around the corner. In fact, I actually know a few schools that have started already!

Even though we don’t have school-age children yet, we pretty much live by the school calendar since Dave is a teacher.

So while Dave is busy getting his classroom ready, trying to work ahead on his lesson plans, and gearing up for another year of teaching, coaching, and student council, I’m also doing some “work” to get organized for this insanely busy time of year.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, I thought I’d take a minute to compile some of the helpful back-to-school organizing tips I already have on my blog {all in one convenient location!}

I know this is such a busy (and often stressful) time of year. But I also know that the more you do NOW to plan ahead — even if you don’t fee like it — the easier and less stressful it will be once the school year begins.

And once the school year starts, the holiday season is right behind — but I won’t even go there… yet 🙂

How are you planning ahead for back-to-school?
