Back to School Pins

If you’re like me, back to school means running in a hundred different directions, making sure that the kids are fed, teachers are appreciated (from day one of the new school year!), and daily tasks are done, all while developing our children into healthy, responsible and independent individuals.

You know, just another day in the life.

Some days are more difficult than others as a parent of school age children. Because of that, I appreciate the parents that have gone before me or have tackled different issues in ways that I would have never thought of. That’s where Pinterest comes in at our house.

If you haven’t heard of (or joined) Pinterest, it is an online community where you can “pin” online ideas or images to a topic board. Pinterest is the best way to see others’ ideas and projects, categorize, and refer to them later for your own use.

Simply awesome.

I have considered what my main struggles are now that we are back into the swing of things with school. In no particular order, they are: 1) making creative and nutritious lunches that will be eaten, 2) finding gifts to show the teachers in our life how much we appreciate them, 3) organizing all of the artwork and “keepers” that come home on a daily basis, 4) how to stay organized, for Moms and kids, and 5) making after school snacks that are filling so that, an hour later, I don’t have kids begging for dinner.

To help me out this school year, I turned to Pinterest!

And, finally, this Pinterest find is one that just touches my heart. So much of a child’s life is focused on them and their needs but this blogger gives some fabulous ideas of what she did with her young children to show random acts of kindness to others in their community. Plus, kids of any age could benefit from this selfless interaction!
