Welcome to August—or, as we call it at Simplified, Fresh Start 2.0! So much of our community is in the throes of Back-to-School prep, whether you're getting littles ready for a new school year or or just getting yourself ready to get back to a routine that doesn't include ice cream for dinner three nights of the week. It takes a bit of a brain shift to get back into the swing of things, so Emily's here to take you by the hand and gently guide you into five things you might want to put on your Back-to-School prep list. From lunches and schedules to getting your kid emotionally equipped to tackle a new school year, these are doable things that'll help you get your home and heart ready for a fresh start.
