Back to School? STOP IT NOW!
That’s what the teacher (and mom) in me wants to scream right now. It’s just August as I type and I am already head spinning. Camp ends this week, vacation next week, then back to the house to get ready for a new year.
Do our jeans fit? What style are we into now? What supplies are needed? How can I make it special? Are our bookbags shot? What will we eat on the first day? How will I deal with the new schedule (dance, drums, soccer, religion). I never even finished cleaning and organizing the house!!! AHHHHHHHH!
Ok so I am an over thinker, aren’t we all?? Well, here’s what i’ve done for you. Taken my overthinking and put it all in one place to hopefully help you check off some of the above with less stress.

IC You Photography- Back to School Minis
Looking for something a little different? Don’t love how your school pics come out? Homeschooling? Here is a fabulous option from our directory member!!
Luigi O’Gradys
I don’t know about you- but I do NOT want to cook the first week of school as we settle into a new routine. I always rest easy knowing that Luigi O’Gradys has hearty and healthy meals I can order and bring home to the family on those crazy first nights. What’s even better? Week by week people can sign up to have a percentage of their family meal deals go to a local charity (Michelle announces them each week). If you have a charity or group that could use the funds reach out <3.
Organizing supplies:
This one I did myself- I used to have a 5 drawer tower with M-F on it so the appropriate items were there when we needed them, but they were bulky and not being used so instead I stocked up on some letters for the days we have activities, and some 3M hooks so that I could put the appropriate items hanging from the hooks to be grabbed on those days.
Enrichment Opportunities
Don’t forget your kids classes!!! We have a directory of classes including swim, music, dance and more- a great place to find all your enrichment (and educational) needs!! http://rocklandnymom.com/directories/classes-for-kids/
