1. Make a list of everything that needs to be done before school starts back. Put that list on your refrigerator so everyone can see it. When there is a free day, see if something can be knocked off the list.
2. Sync the school district's calendar with yours. Go ahead and do then, then you can plan for appointments and even fun weekend getaways!
3. Make appointments- yearly physical, vaccinations, eye doctor, dentist, etc. Spread these out over the summer and it will go more smoothly.
4. Get the kids some workbooks to do on days they are at home, especially those scorching summer afternoons. This will keep them in the habit of doing school work and they will not forget what they learned the previous year.
5. Organize the Pantry. While you are doing this, make sure that you give yourself room to store lunch making items. Your mornings will go much smoother!
6. Deep clean bathrooms and restock toiletries.
7. Deep clean bedrooms and organize. Get it done now, get them in the habit, and they will have a fresh start when school goes back. Be sure to organize school items with hooks and other areas that storage is needed.
8. Sort clothing. Try on items, check for stains, etc. Make a list of what needs to be replaced or added to their wardrobe. Stick this list in your purse and then you can grab things if you catch them on clearance.
9. Make a list of everything that needs to be done in August and stick it in your planner- haircuts, clothes shopping, etc.
10. Make memories- do not let the summer slip away, you may regret it once the school year starts back!
What tasks do you like to tackle over the summer?
