The Back-to-School Circus: Tips for Keeping Your Sanity

Back to school vibes hitting hard? Yeah, that back-to-school stress is real—and it’s sneaky! Suddenly, the quiet house turns into a chaotic circus with backpacks, lunchboxes, and endless “Did you finish your homework?” echoes.

Here’s the deal: stress around this time isn’t just for kids. Parents and caregivers get hit too—early mornings, packed schedules, and trying to remember everyone’s snack allergies can feel like a full-time job.

So grab your coffee (or wine), take a deep breath, and let’s survive this back-to-school madness together—with a little humor and a lot of grace. You’ve got this!
