I feel like a broken record, but I’m simply amazed at how quickly the summer has passed. I can hardly believe that classes start up in just a few weeks and that some of you are already back in session.
Where does the time go?🤷
As Gretchen Rubin accurately reminds us, “the days are long, but the years are short.”
While reading through my emails the other day, I discovered that I am not the only one feeling a bit overwhelmed by the beginning of the school year. I received an email from a fantastic busy-awesome reader named Caroline, who writes.
Hey Paula,
How are you? I’m writing with a question about going back to school.
I have a little boy in third grade, so I’ve done the back-to-school thing before. This year, however, my twins are also starting full-day kindergarten. (My little babies are growing up!)
To be honest, I thought this would feel like “old hat“ since I’ve done the back-to-school thing before. It turns out I was wrong. I’m feeling incredibly overwhelmed about getting all three kids ready at once, and I feel a bit frozen about where to start.
Do you have any tips for getting organized or helping the kids (and myself!! ) get ready for back-to-school?
Thank you!!
Caroline
