Smooth Transition: Refresh Your Family Routine for School!


Hey Super Moms,

Can you believe it? Summer is almost over, and school is just around the corner! Before we know it, we'll be back to packed lunches and school runs. Let’s make this transition as smooth as possible with some fun and easy tips!

Let’s Talk Bedtime Routines

First things first—bedtime. We all know how tricky it can be to switch from late summer nights to early school mornings. Start easing into an earlier bedtime a couple of weeks before school starts. Maybe a cozy story or some soothing music can help wind things down. Audiobooks might cross a few books from the summer reading list (... and yes, from a former teacher, listening to a book is as important as reading a book - change it up!)

Mastering Morning Madness

Mornings can be hectic, but with a little prep, they can be a breeze! Get the kids involved in packing their bags and laying out clothes the night before. And don’t forget a healthy breakfast—it’s the fuel they need for a great day at school!

Homework Harmony

Creating a dedicated homework spot can do wonders. Stock it with all the supplies they need and set up a homework schedule with built-in breaks. Encourage them to tackle the tough stuff first while they’re fresh. To make school supplies exciting, go on a back-to-school scavenger hunt for all your supplies. It gets you in the school spirit.
