Free Printables! Brighten Your Child's Day With a Love Note

...and make your life easier with a 'Daily Routine' printable

This school year has been unlike any other! With kids heading back to the classroom on a hybrid schedule, some of the back to school things seem doable again. We have been on a remote schedule since last March, and my 5th grader started back hybrid last Thursday. Something I noticed immediately was how excited he was to get his stuff ready for school and head out for the bus, so I thought adding this little extra "love note" in his lunchbox would help the day go by with a smile.

We came up with a printable to make it easy for you to drop your kids cheerful notes — no matter where they're studying (remote or in school). You can drop them in their lunchboxes, slide them into their Chromebooks, or even leave them under their pillows. The positive messages on the cards are sure to bring a smile to their faces and remind them you're there for them during what might be an unsettled time in their lives. 

We also came up with a daily routine printable to help keep your kids focused and on task while doing everyday things, like getting dressed and brushing their teeth. I posted this daily routine list in my son's rooms and have found I don't have to keep repeating myself...I just ask if they've done everything on the list! 

Below is a daily routine printable that's filled out and one that's blank, because we know everyone's school day will look different as they head back to school. Plus, I wanted to make it easy for you to customize what works best for your family.

Hopefully these printables make back to school time just a little bit more fun and easy for you and your family... because we could all use more easy and fun in our lives.
