Back to School Essentials Check List

The summer holidays may of just started but many of us will already be thinking about Back to School.  Most of the shops will have the Back to School posters up with uniform strategically placed at  stores entrances.

We always go away the last few weeks of August and I like to have everything done before we go so as soon as the holidays start I start to pick bits up for my 3 and I use this checklist and mark off what I have brought.  I find this way I don’t forget anything.

The worst thing you can do is head into town a week before they go back as most stuff will be gone, limited sizes will be left for school uniform so get out there early and be prepared. If stores don’t have your sizes they will have plenty of time to order for you or for you to go home and order online.

I have designed a back to school check list that you can download here Back To School Check List

For school uniform I always find that Next and John Lewis offer the best range of sizes and styles. Plus if your have older girl New Look have a great teenage range with more tailored clothing plus a good selection of practical bags and shoes.

To help stay organised this summer with your home maybe look at joingin in with my 5 Minute Challenge or use one of my cleaning calendars

Personally I love Back to School shopping so have fun and enjoy.

Do you leave dishes in the sink overnight?Leaving dishes in the sink overnight might seem harmless, but it can lead to several problems that impact cleanliness, hygiene, and even your peace of mind. Here’s why it’s worth tackling those dishes before bedtime:1. They’ll Be Harder to CleanFood residue left on dishes overnight can dry and harden, making clean-up much more difficult the next day. What could have been a quick rinse becomes a scrubbing session, costing you extra time and effort.2. It Makes the Sink DirtierDirty dishes attract bacteria and grime, which can spread to your sink. Over time, this build-up can leave your sink looking unclean and create a breeding ground for germs.3. Reduces Kitchen HygieneA sink full of dirty dishes creates an unhygienic environment, especially if leftovers start to attract pests like fruit flies or even cockroaches. Keeping your sink clean helps maintain a healthier kitchen overall.4. It Looks UntidyA sink piled with dishes can make your entire kitchen feel disorganized and unwelcoming. A tidy kitchen promotes a sense of calm and order, even if the rest of your home isn’t perfect.5. Creates Lingering Bad SmellsFood remnants left on dishes overnight can produce unpleasant odours that linger in your kitchen. This can quickly become unpleasant and harder to mask without a deep clean.6. Mess Creates StressStudies have shown that clutter and mess can increase stress levels. Waking up to a sink full of dirty dishes adds an extra chore to your day and can make your morning feel more chaotic. Starting with a clean sink helps set a positive tone for the day ahead. Taking a few extra minutes to wash your dishes before bed can make a big difference in maintaining a cleaner, healthier, and more peaceful kitchen environment. ... See MoreSee Less
