Back to School at Our House: A GettingKidsplained Breakdown

The gist: Back to school comes with excitement, routines, and a little bit of strategy — especially when you’ve got three kids, a teacher dad, and a love for structure (and snack aisle surprises). We start early. Three weeks before school starts, we shift bedtime and wake-up times. ➡️ Why? Because nobody wants a first-day meltdown at 6:45 a.m. It’s gradual. It’s gentle. And it works. School supplies are sacred. We stick to the teacher’s list. Period. 📚 Dad’s a teacher — he gets it. The specific pencils? There’s a reason. The brand of markers? It matters.

Back to school in August = sweaty kids in fall clothes.

Christmas, mostly. Thanks...
