Doing the Back-to-School Inventory - January 2020

​With four children in primary school this year, I've done a "back-to-school" inventory of all the supplies (pencils, pencil cases, lunchboxes, drink bottles, back packs, library bags, swimming bags, hats etc.) and uniforms that we have and allocated them to each child. This means I only need to fill in the gaps. Coming right on top of Christmas and school holiday expenses, back-to-school used to always send me into a panic. This year I'm so calm I can hardly believe it. Each child has everything on their lists, ready to head back to school - no more shopping with other mums and their kids trying to do the same thing in the heat for me. My back-to-school inventory will become a January habit from now on.
