Skip the back-to-school scramble this year
Get the back-to-school checklist I walk through with my own kids every Summer.
It's free, it takes about 20 minutes to work through, and it's the reason back-to-school doesn't send me into a panic-shopping spiral anymore.
Inside: every appointment to book, everything to buy before it sells out, and all the accounts to set up — so back-to-school is handled before the rest of the world remembers it's coming.
A peek inside..
📅 The appointments to book NOW: physicals, immunizations, and haircuts fill up by August (this is the one that gets away from moms every single year)
🛒 The buy-it-before-it-sells-out list: backpacks, supplies, gym shoes, and the first-day outfit, so you're never paying double on Amazon for the "sold out everywhere" pick
💻 The account setups nobody reminds you about: school registration, lunch accounts, bus sign-up, and the apps, handled before the first-week chaos
✂️ Print-and-fridge friendly — one page, check it off, done
...and the one thing moms who coast through the school year do differently (it's at the bottom of the checklist 👀)
WHO CREATED IT?
Hi! I'm Kelly.
Mom of three (infant to preteen) & the founder of Plan Ahead Mom. I created this checklist for the moms who want a laid-back summer without procrastinating their way into a chaotic back-to-school season. What started as my own plan-ahead system became the thing I now share with every busy parent I know. Learn how to knock out back-to-school now — so your August can still feel like summer, too.
