Hello dear readers!
The start of a new school year will soon be here and that means that it`s always a busy time for parents as we try to get our children organized for the routine of school.
I cannot believe it, but my oldest is a senior this year and needs little help from Mom to get herself ready for school.
My youngest is starting junior high this year and he will need lots of help as he transitions into more independent study habits and more responsibilities as a junior high student.

I have rounded up some ideas from the past few years at Echoes of Laughter to help you get ready for another school year…whether you are looking for tips for packing school lunches, getting study spaces organized, or creating an art gallery from saved school artwork!
Resolve To Save Artwork this year to Create A Kids` Art Gallery.
Breakfast & Snack Ideas
Taco Soup that goes into thermoses beautifully!
Easiest Ever Pasta Salad that doesn`t go SOGGY!
AFTER SCHOOL TREATS
So tell me, where are you at this point in time…are you still in summer vacation mode, or are you studying fliers to find the best school supply deals.For more ideas, my Back To School Pinterest Board and School Lunches Board are full of inspiration!
Share the Love!

Great ideas and the recipes sound delicious. I want to still be in summer mode, but we have started all the school shopping.
Oh my gosh, we're already back in school here — ugh. It stinks!! Great round up post, Angie — pinning!!

So many beautiful ideas, Angie! I can use the food ones most of all. It's always a struggle to pack healthy lunches the kids will actually eat.
I am thinking about back to school a little earlier this year, only because I am putting some posts together for my blog! Otherwise, I would leave it a couple of weeks longer. 😉
Such great ideas! I have first graders for the first time, so the lunches are going to be a big help. It's a fun time of year, but lots to do to get ready. Thanks so much for sharing! Happy Monday!
