Gah…it is September!  And our kids head back to school in like a day.  How did that creep up so fast?  Well, I saw fast but, if you are a “good” blogger, you probably started thinking about back to school in June…it is just what we tend to do.  Then, there are the people like me who get so swamped with general life and wake up to realize school starts in a few days.  You still want the cool ideas for your kids to celebrate back to school time but you just need stuff that takes a lot less time.  Don’t worry…I’ve got your back.

All of these things I can safely say are things I think you can still pull off even if you are reading this at say…3pm the day before school starts.  So, do a quick read and decide which ones you want to do and then GET BUSY!

Printables are one of the easiest things to do and they can offer a HUGE impact. I am a big fan of these adorable Back to School printables from Swish Printables.

Another way to ease the back to school stress is with a little handwritten note from mom.  Check out this idea for lunch notes from Four Marrs One Venus.
