Are You Ready for Back To School?

Ahh... Back to School is soon approaching! It's that bitter-sweet time of year where the kids head back to the classroom, and parents scramble to get the home organized, registering for sports, school supplies shopping done; and making a meal plan for lunches (that may be forgotten by October 1st)! It can be a lot for us parents to juggle, especially working full time! Just like most tasks, having a game plan, a list and some helpful tips to keep your head in the parenting-game.

Perfection Cleaning to the Rescue! Here are 5 Perfect Tips to send your kids back to school and stay stress-free! 

THE KIDS BEDROOMS
At the end of every summer, we take the time to completely overhaul the kids bedrooms, and get rid of any toys or clothes that they no longer need. This helps them start the school year fresh and focused, as well as assists in taking inventory on what they need.

REVIEW THE CHORE CHART
When's the last time your family reviewed the chore chart? Does it work? Get the kids involved in deciding what chores they can easily help with around the house. A great tip is to build their daily routine into this chart, it helps them understand their responsibilities. Here's a list of the 20 BEST CHORE CHARTS FOR KIDS.

REDUCE SCREEN TIME
I wish we didn't have to say it, but there it is. Kids have much more screen time during the summer, so to mentally prepare themselves for back to school, we recommend a decrease in video games. Why not start bed time a little sooner too? ;)


HEALTH CHECK
This is the perfect time of year to get the kids in for an annual check up with the doctor, an eye exam, or a trip to the dentist. Vision checks are often overlooked, and can be a huge contributing factor to students lack of ability to focus in school. This is also a good time to talk to your kids about healthy eating habits and brainstorming school lunch ideas! 


HIRE A CLEANER
Hiring a Professional House Cleaner will allow you to get ready for the 2015-2016 school year with ease. Even a one-time deep clean will give you a sense of freedom and accomplishment to get your tasks done, and feel fresh and organized!
