Ready (?) for Back to School

We have two more weeks until the kids head back to school. Are we ready? Maybe not, but we’re getting there. Q has had the same backpack for about three years and it was looking a little worn so we thought it was time to get a new one. He wanted the same style and same size, and just a different shade of blue. Hershel definitely holds up well so this one should carry him through for another few years. 

(E got a new backpack halfway through last year so he is good to go.)


We also got these adorable shoes for Q. Aren’t they so cool?!
(I’ve offered to buy E some new shoes but he says he’s good for now.)


These lunch bags have also been around for a few years and after a fresh wash, they are ready to go again.  I got these from Fluf, and yes, the corners are a little worn, but they are still in good shape. I don’t like to buy new things every year if the other things are fine. 


I always try to institute some good habits for the start of the school year - no TV or iPads in the morning, reading practice, making lunches the night before, etc. - but I’ll admit that they never last as long as I want them to, so wish us luck that we start out strong!

Grade 5 and Grade 10 - here we come!

  2. Sounds like you’re pretty well organised for the new school year. All the best to Q and E as they head into Grade 5 and Grade 10! Good luck with those new routines, I hope they last longer than expected!
