With the closets under control, it's time to turn toward the kitchen. There are a couple of things you can do now to make the opening days of school easier.
Stock up on breakfast and lunch items and after-school snacks. Think healthy. Mom can't always control what the boys eat away from home, so at least have a handle on what they eat while under your roof.
Organize the pantry so your boys can reach breakfast items themselves. Be sure you have some on-the-go items for those mornings when things are crazy. One mom I know fills bins with breakfast bars and applesauce cups for manic mornings.
Make sure you have a good supply of sandwich bags and plastic spoons for packing lunches.
Make an outing of choosing new lunch boxes!
Make a list of family dinner favorites and start planning the first week's menu. If you plan ahead and shop on Saturday for the coming week, you'll be a lot more likely to cook a healthy (and economical) dinner for your family.

Come up with something special for a night-before-school dinner. Fix the kids' favorite or just bake up a back-to-school cake.
Choose what works for you and your boys, and get yourselves ready for school.
For the love of boys,
Laura
