The fact that Lauren has such a good positive attitude and resisted the urge to complain makes me love your channel all the more! And if you can’t afford to buy all this stuff be thankful there’s people out there who end up paying it out for you so you don’t have too! Lauren’s kids have a rock star Mom!!!

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you so much!!!! I will never complain here, y'all aren't therapists 😂 This is our happy place!!

I don't even have kids and I'm obsessed with this content. This is incredible! Love your organizational skills.

[@belindaochoa2743]

Watching this video overwhelmed me, and I am so glad I don't have kids. Hats off to those parents involved in their kid's schoolwork as they should be. And I wished every kid was this fortunate. The world would be a better place.

AWWWWW this is soooo cute!! Thank you ☺️☺️☺️

[@debravertucci6220]

My children are grown and out of school. i have 2 children so getting ready for back to school was much simpler! I was one of 8 children so seeing all the supplies laid out for each child brought back so many memories! Going school shopping was one of my most favorite times!!!

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Awww I love this!!! Thanks for sharing!! I LOVE back to school shopping - I love letting the kids get the little things that are meaningful to them.

[@douglasmalone662]

You are a girl after my own heart! So organized. I was the same way when my kids were young. They are all grown now with kids of their own and they carry on with the same organization traits. Love your channel.

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Awww thank you!! So happy you are here!

[@danielleS257]

I have been reveling in the fact that I no longer have to do “back to school”. No stressing over the right shoes, MMA fights over the last 3 prong 2 pocket red folder in the entire city, hair cuts etc…. YOU just made me want a do over with that spreadsheet!!!! Absolute genius!!

Wowww the school supply list might be the smartest homeschool hack/planning idea I’ve ever seen! Get it girl! 💕

Thank you. While I do not have kids going back to school, my husband is a teacher. It is back to school every year! Thank you for you for supporting your teachers and children so completely!!!

Thank you so much for taking time to get what the teachers request. I retired from teaching after 31 years, and it is so disappointing to realize many parents simply assume if their child does not have what is needed, it will be supplied by someone else. That is true, and the someone else is usually the teacher. We spend time making out the supply lists, and we try very hard to keep the parents’ budget in mind, especially for those families with several children. If a certain color folder is requested, there is a reason for it. Most of the time it is to aid in the classroom organization which is so very important to keep things running smoothly. The communal supplies, like tissues, run out very quickly if every child has not contributed. I realize it can be time consuming and pricy because we, as teachers, usually have children of our own to buy supplies for. Thank you for the tips and suggestions you have given to help other parents navigate the sometimes deep beginning of school waters.

[@mariemolloy2392]

You have a very impressive organization system for your family! As a teacher, I prefer Ticonderoga pencils. The quality makes them last so much longer and sharpen so much better. The less expensive pencils constantly break and do not want to sharpen. The erasers also smudge. I am a teacher in a Title 1 school so we are not allowed to create expensive class supply lists. As a result, I have spent over $1,000 getting ready for school this year because I want to have all of the nice things in my classroom. I wish all parents did what you do, or at least made an attempt. Many students bring no supplies at all because their families cannot afford them. I never call them out. They find everything they need in their cubbies and baskets. In fact, it helps build a relationship with them because they know that I care about them!

[@maaikevandijk-bokkers944]

So happy we live in a country where I don’t need to buy supplies for the kids (only a backpack and stuff), it is all bought by the school and ready when they get in the first day. Saves me a lot of time (and money). Every country is different of course. It all looks so organized!

[@grksher]

You are the epitome of organized - I love it!!! I always bought ahead as well when my kiddo was in school - she actually just graduated from college and we decided we still needed to do some “school” shopping for pens and fresh markers - nothing like a package of brand new markers!! When I was little my mom used to pack a hot dog once in awhile as a treat in my thermos - with a little hot water to keep it extra hot…bun was packed on side as well as ketchup and mustard packets. It was rare but I loved that lunch!! I look SO forward to all your videos!!! 👍😊

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Ohh that's a great idea!!! 💕💕💕💕

[@parisday9631]

OMG!!! So cute! A hotdog in a thermos is hilarious, and genius.

[@Practicallivingthroughgrace]

I just stumbled upon your channel. I’m a working mom And it’s rare to see on here. I am a working mom can relate to other SAHM moms videos. But I just end up feeling overwhelmed. Your so helpful and I can relate as a busy mom. Thanks so much!

[@joanndelise7292]

Its important to be organized for yourself and the children. You are fantastic and this should help many parents. Hoping the kids have a healthy and wonderful school year.

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you JoAnn!! I agree - it really helps me stay focused!

[@faithwoodley6065]

When my grandson started school, i purchased and organized everything for him so my daughter wouldn't have to worry. Now she happily does it.

[@LaurenNicholsen]

I love this!!!! I am going to be that type of mom to my kids when they become parents 💕💕💕💕

[@melanniestirado3459]

Lauren, OMG!! I felt seen watching this! I was thinking “ we are twins”. My friends say I’m crazy but the organization keeps me sane. You are awesome. The spreadsheets, the folders, the bins, oh my!!!And as the daughter of a now retired 2nd grade teacher (over 45 yrs of teaching) who i swear had OCD, this all speaks to my heart. Looking forward to your next videos.

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Twins!!!! Love this! We aren't crazy - they are crazy!

[@AnuschkavanDijke]

Wow, that's a lot of work you put into school supply purchasing. I'm so happy school supplies are supplied by the schools in the Netherlands (primary school at least, and no school fees and extra costs for supplies). We don't have to buy anything, except a backpack and a snack box (one lasts multiple years).

[@LaurenNicholsen]

It sure is but we are happy to do it and support our teachers!

[@AmandaBee25]

I love this video so much and have watched and rewatched it like 10 times so I can grab up all these ideas to get myself organized for back to school. Thank you so much for all of these tips! Love it!!!

100000% Thank you so much Gloria!!! 💕💕💕 So grateful to have you here and I cant wait to share some greatness with you this fall and Christmas!

[@craftyk2411]

Love this! My first step is a little different as I go through the kids backpacks (they dont unpack after last day). Anything on their list that they can reuse i go ahead and mark off so I don't have to purchase anymore. Then I make a similar master list - we are given a list on the last day of school so i have all summer to purchase things. I use my cricut and sticker paper to make each child a page of name stickers that I can use to label their things. After everything is bought then the kids come in either to label their own items or collect and pack their items.

[@nolankylie]

Incredible! Your kids must feel so loved 💓

[@seletarahim6696]

Lol You rock Lauren!!

pregnant me dreaming of that kind of organization skills to make my childs school all organized :)

[@willothewispl]

Lauren that takes me back a few years ago when my son was still in school. I used to love taking him shopping for clothes and school supplies. It is a good feeling when you send your child or children to school, knowing you have tried your best to have them ready and comfortable to learn. It is not easy by any means. Great idea with the planner. I was in college when my son was in grade school and junior high and I used a planner. It was my other bible. Never went anywhere without it. If it was not for my planner I would have been a mess. Granted I only had one child compared to your four. But between college and raising a small child it was a lot. Good video, very interesting. 💼🎒🍎🥪🍪🧃🚌🗒📔🖍🖊✏️🇺🇸🌂

SO true!!! What a great way of putting that!! Love this!
