School's back and there is so much more to consider besides school supplies and back to school clothes. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by it all, you’re not alone – we can help!! We have put together some helpful tips as well as recipes for school or work lunches to get you through this challenging time.
Did you know: when most of us were kids, having water bottles at our desks was not a thing? We had to ask the teacher to get a drink. Times have changed!
A reusable water bottle is now found on most school supply lists. Some teachers will send them home at the end of each day, others will send them home at the end of the week. Regardless of when they come home, water bottles should be thoroughly washed every time they come home.
Besides your kids’ binders, backpacks get most of the daily wear and tear. Not only do they take books back and forth, but they also can act like a garbage bag and a clothes hamper.
To avoid finding questionable food items, do a thorough cleaning of backpacks every one to two weeks. Start by taking out the binders and the papers; look over the papers to see if they are notices from the school. If there are pens, markers and toys, take them out and wipe them down with a disinfecting wipe.
Once everything is out, vacuum out the bottom of the bag and spot clean anything that is more questionable in nature. Allow it to fully dry before replacing books. Some backpacks can go through the laundry but bags with holographics and glitter may lose their quality.
As most parents see their kids’ lunch bags daily, they don’t tend to get overly dirty. On the last day of the school week, give lunch bags a quick wipe with a disinfecting wipe. This can help prevent the need to buy new ones. If the bags are washable, put them through the washing machine and dry well so they are ready for the next week.
