Calling all mothers out there…the end is at sight! Don’t get me wrong. I love summer as much as the next girl, but come August, a little bit of predictability starts sounding pretty good. And what inspires predictability? The school schedule, of course!
But there is another side of the back-to-school coin. Transition from the carefree days of summer to the strict routine of school always creates some mayhem. We all know that a little organization is the remedy, and that’s where The Happy Gal comes in! This week we are partnering with Moms Best Network to bring you some great organization tips for going back to school, such as this one:

-INFORMATION OVERLOAD

One of the greatest challenges of a new school year is all of the paperwork that comes home. “Back to School Night” is actually code for “Here is more information than you know what to do with!” In an effort to avoid paper clutter and the task of sorting through it all, use this free printable to help you compile important information. Print it out and take it with you when you meet with your children’s teachers, and collect all the important information all on one piece of paper. Whether you tape this on the inside of a cabinet or put it in your child’s file at home, you will have the information you need at your fingertips! And the best part of it? You can drop that welcome packet in the recycle bin as you exit the classroom! You should try it. The feeling of freedom is incredible!
