September, and that back-to-school feeling, is just around the corner.
Parents around the country are scrambling to get everything ready and organised before their little ones skip off to school next week.
While the To-Do checklist seems to grow longer with each passing day, there are some things that are left until the very last minute every year.
Take Cover!
This is the week when the full length of your dining room table is likely to be covered with laminating paper as you wrap their books.
It can be a sticky and thankless task.
Gone are the days when you could just wrap a book in brown paper in three minutes and quickly move onto the next.
Now it's a carefully choreographed dance of paper, books, scissors and an air of determination.
God forbid you should get a bubble and have to start from scratch.
Why can't books come covered?!
A Step In The Right Direction
We all remember the feeling of putting our tiny feet into a measuring device when we were younger to find out our exact shoe size.
There is nothing worse than picking up a pair of school shoes, thinking they fit, only to discover your little one has grown out of them in a month or that they never really fit in the first place.
This year do it the right way!
Elverys have free kids footwear fitting right across the country, so let there be no panic.
Get shoes that fit, that they'll love to wear all year all year round, with zero hassle at no extra cost.
You Drive Me Crazy
We all remember that feeling of sitting trapped in a bus or car in the rain as you battled your way towards your school on roads with bumper-to-bumper traffic.
It's only now, as everyone returns from holidays, that carpooling schedules can be properly organised.
We feel your pain when it comes juggling getting everyone out the door and to school on time.
Never has two weeks in Portugal seemed so far away!
Copy That: Summer Is Well And Truly Over
Nothing says 'Summer's over' quite like a trip to the school supply shop to stock up on new pens, pencil cases and fresh copy books.
It seems like just yesterday that you were shopping for a BBQ, now it's Mathematic sets and TipEx.
Take a deep breath, Summer 2018 is just 10 months away!
