You're listening to the decluttered mom podcast. A podcast built specifically for busy moms by a busy mom. I'm your host, Diana Renee. And in 2017, I had my second daughter and it felt like I was literally drowning in my home. Okay, not literally,

but I felt like I couldn't breathe with all of the stuff surrounding me. Over the next 10 months,

I got rid of approximately 70% of our household belongings and I have never looked back. I kind of feel like I hacked the mom

system, and I'm here to share all the tips, tricks, and encouragement. Let's listen to today's show.

Welcome to another episode of the Decluttered Mom podcast. Today is part one of a two-part series, all about back-to-school tips. This may be like, oh my gosh, this is so timely. We start school now.

these with before. So we're going to break the first episode and the second episode into kind of two

categories. The first episode, this one right now, is things that are going to be

helpful prior to school beginning. And then the second episode is just going to be things that you

can be doing all throughout the school year basis. They're going to help you all throughout

the school year. So this episode is the things that really help you if you set them up

now or before school or like when school's first beginning. And then the second episode is going to be

all about the things that are going to help you all throughout the year. Okay. So in this episode,

I'm going to share six different things that help me so much when it comes to kids going back to school.
