**********************

Are you ready for back to school yet? Sorry if I made you panic a little bit.

Most families still have a few weeks of summer left before school starts, but one thing holds true…back to school shopping has been slowly creeping up and families are spending more and more each year.

Did you know that U.S. families will spend upwards of 110.8 billion - yep billion with a B - on expenses related to back-to-school and college expenses? That’s a lot of money!

The good news is that you can jump right off that hamster wheel of back to school craziness whenever you’re ready.

As wannabe minimalists, we’ve gotten back-to-school down to a reasonable event. We participate in some of the traditional rituals - like some new clothes - but opt-out of others like getting new everything.

It’s helped so much in not only keeping the clutter in our home down, but also helping us to be intentional and cut back on the spectacle of it all. And so that's why I want to bring you the 7 tips that have helped us the most in getting ready for back to school time in this week’s episode of the Wannabe Minimalist show.

This episode will also help you discover:

  • Why a capsule wardrobe makes or breaks our school mornings
  • The #1 zone I recommend you create in your home to help with school stuff
  • What I do instead of buying everything on the school supply list
  • How we practice getting ready for school during the last week of summer
  • The new things we actually buy and the many things we don’t
