Divorce Rx

I feel ya!

But guess what? Now is the perfect time to unpack those backpacks and decide what stays and what goes from the school year. It takes just a few minutes and will make you feel lighter and more organized and will teach the kids some basic management and maintenance.

Here are my top tips:
✏️Do it with the kids (yes I know it’s easier not to)
✏️Designate a box for each child
✏️Limit the amount of things you keep to 5-10 items, a sampling
✏️Take a picture of things you’re not keeping but want to remember
✏️Toss unusable school supplies and store the rest
✏️Donate or trash the backpack if you’ll be getting a new one

During those early days of separation and divorce emotions are running high and there can be lots of blaming.

The messaging from society is often that moms are more capable and competent parents. Dads either buy into this message or try to fight it, oftentimes without much success. The truth is that dads can be just as resourceful as moms. The truth is that kids need input and parenting from both parents.

Chances are that during a marriage, one parent did more of the household and child management than the other. Now that there are 2 households, the less involved parent just needs some help to get set up and up to speed.

If you have a dad in your life going through divorce and want to help but don’t know exactly how, a gift certificate for some organizational help is a great option!

Look around your physical space. Does it reflect the vibe you want in your life? If so great! If not, try to identify one small change you can make to shift the feeling. Maybe it’s cleaning off countertops, or getting rid of that painting you’ve really never liked.

Summer’s coming soon!! The weather will be calling you to get out of the house, the kids will be off and the days will feel more relaxed.

Now is a great time to get yourself and your home organized so you know what you have and what you need for summer fun.
