Summer's Over, Man!
It's like clockwork. Just when you start to get into the swing of lazy mornings, popsicle-stained clothes, and endless reruns of Spongebob, bam! - back-to-school ads start popping up everywhere. It's as if the universe has a cruel sense of humor.

Tips for Surviving the Back-to-School Chaos
- Embrace the chaos: It's going to be hectic. Accept it, laugh it off, and try to enjoy the crazy.
- Plan ahead: School supplies, uniforms, lunchboxes - it's a jungle out there. Start early and avoid the last-minute rush.
- Create a routine: Getting back into a regular schedule can be tough. Start easing into it a week or two before school starts.
- Find a support system: Whether it's other parents, teachers, or online communities, connect with people who understand what you're going through.
How To...
- How to survive the first day of school drop-off? Pack extra tissues, fake it 'til you make it, and remember, they'll survive without you.
- How to pack a healthy school lunch? Variety is key! Involve your kids in the planning process for more buy-in.
