Welcome to The Intention Box blog, a place to get inspired and share ideas.
Back-to-school means the return of routine. Here are my personal tips to refresh and simplify life.
1. Declutter your kids’ closets now. This will reduce laundry clutter during the year and encourage flow.
2. Simplify one meal a week. In our house, every Wednesday is “Sandwich and Sundaes” night. It’s an easy mid-week break.
3. Set clear expectations for kid chores and enforce them from Day 1. My morning expectations for my sons are: unload the dishwasher, fold laundry, and clean up breakfast.
4. Buy yourself something new for the kitchen. Moms spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Might as well enjoy it. I just bought kitchen shears and a steel colander. Good tools make me happy.
5. Create a Sunday evening ritual. Our Sunday ritual is an early dinner and a spirited game of Boggle. It’s a wonderful way to center our family for the upcoming week.
How about you? What are your ideas to refresh and simplify for the school year? Please share by posting.
