5 Sanity-Saving Back-To-School Tips & Tricks from Mom-Fluencers

Going back to school is…a lot. Between new schedules, new pick-up spots, new sports, and new school supplies, things can get chaotic. But we’re here to help.

We asked a few of our favorite mom-fluencers how they coordinate the chaos of the back-to-school season and they shared their best sanity-saving advice:

**Jane Park**“My husband and I sync our Google calendars and add in all of our kids’ recurring activities; then we add any new locations to our Life360 so that we can make communication as efficient as possible.”

**Kim Holderness**“Bedtimes slide in the summer. So even though it’s not fun, we practice getting up for school a week before school starts. We set our alarms and we get up for our day. That helps get us ready.”

**Cat and Nat**“We make sure to have one family meal a week; back-to-school is pure mayhem and we feel like it’s the only time the kids truly get to feel that everyone has their back. No matter what’s going on in the world or at their school, we want to make sure that they know they have us, their family.”

Sarah Underwood“My daughter will start taking the bus this year to a brand new school. We started practicing; walking to and from the bus stop, emphasizing safety with her along the way, reminding her to always look both ways and not to veer from our designated route.”

Nicole DeRoy“Meal prepping breakfast and packing the kids’ lunches the night before has been a game changer for my family. We have the kids help with it so there aren’t any arguments in the morning about what to pack for who when everyone is groggy and rushing to get out the door on time.”
