3. Make school supplies shopping fun There are tons of sales right now for cool back packs, themed stationary etc.

My Brandon loves trains as you may already know, so I got these cool items from the MTA Museum store HERE

 Get the back pack HERE its on sale !

4. Label everything!

I hope I'm not alone when I say that when I spend money on things I hate when my son comes back from school and it's nowhere to be found, or when my son comes back with another child's item, I feel for the label-less mom.

You can get these super cool water proof dish washer proof stick on labels from inch bug. Brandon started daycare at just 10 weeks old, so I was the crazy mom with labels and lists and instructions and I used some of these labels to put on his pacifier and on his bottles. If you don't want to use the sticky labels they also offer these orbit labels that you can put around baby bottles, sippy cups and regular cups. The I'm telling you it's totally worth it. They have some pre-printed names or if you have a less common name you can create your own!

You can get adhesive labels HERE (thank me later) http://www.inchbug.com

Or Orbit label’s HERE

5. Lunch shopping Many schools offer lunch, but some kids either don't like the lunch or like a little something extra.

Take some time the week before school starts and get your grocery list in order to include back to school snacks that your child will love.

For me that's • Sandwich supplies •Tomatoes •Cheddar fish •Fruit snacks •Crackers •Water

Make this easier for you by getting a Bento style lunch box for your little one, this keeps everything neat and easy to portion and package. You can get one HERE.

  Hope some of these tips helped, I would love to hear how you prepare for back to school. Leave a comment or email me your first day of school 5!
