Hey there, fellow parents! It’s that time of year again when school supplies explode like confetti in your living room. You know, glue sticks, shoes that could double as boats, and kids who suddenly forget what numbers are after a summer of video games and swimming. But don’t worry; there’s still time to get everything (kinda) sorted before the school bell rings! Here are ten quirky tips to help you prepare—or not.

1. Shop Early: While most parents scramble for supplies last minute, you can avoid the chaos by starting your shopping now. Sure, you might end up with the wrong type of paper or a random assortment of binders, but hey, that’s what online shopping is for!
2. Strength Training: Not for you, but for your kid! Those mountain-sized science binders are heavy, and your little one will need some muscle to carry them.
3. Bus Stop Boot Camp: Want to practice for those hectic school mornings? Wake your kid up at the crack of dawn and rush them out the door like a scene from a movie. Bonus points if they can find matching socks in under five minutes!
4. Crayon Cleanup: Got a drawer full of broken crayons? Instead of tossing them, consider melting them down into new ones—if you ever get around to it. But let’s be real, it’s probably easier to just toss them.
5. Homework Headquarters: Honestly, I have no idea what this means, but Pinterest says it’s a must. Just set up a designated space for homework, and hope your kids actually use it!
6. Accountability Folder: Create checklists and charts to keep your kids on track, because we all know how much they love being nagged about chores, right?
7. Meal Prep Madness: Want to save time? Make 180 sandwiches in one go and freeze them. Just don’t worry about freshness; they probably won’t eat them anyway!
8. First Day Outfit: Your kid may want to wear something comfy, but you know the real goal is that Instagram-worthy photo. So, dress them in that adorable outfit you picked out—matching sister outfits encouraged!
9. Chalkboard Photo Ops: Have you started making that cute “First Day of Kindergarten” sign with their age and favorite things? No? Better call the school and see if you can get a do-over for the year!
10. Pencil Sharpening: Seriously, stop buying more pencils! Every home has enough to build a small village, so just sharpen what you’ve got.

And there you have it! Follow these tips, and you might just feel somewhat prepared for the upcoming school year—well, sort of.
