I am a middle school teacher of 20 years and mom to a 1st grader. A teacher’s reach only goes so far - it’s important for parents to set their kids up for success. Here are a few tips I suggest to parents and items I use in my home for my own kid.
1. Create a routine.
2. Provide a device-free setting.
3. Set up an area with all necessary supplies.
4. Use a paper homework agenda book.
5. Ask your child to see their finished work, even if they “finished it at school.”
6. Check your child’s parent portal often for grade updates and missing assignments.
7. Don’t be afraid to message the teacher (kindly/professionally) with questions!
8. Encourage independence!
Remember: You spend more time with your child than they do with their teachers. A great education begins at home!

A year of diapers, late nights, and plot twists. On maternity leave, I learned two things: how to function on little sleep, and how to binge a show like it’s my part-time job. These are the series that kept me company during feeds, naps, and those long midnight rocking sessions.

The Samaritan's Purse mission is for every child to know that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. Your shoebox will be an expression of God's love to a child and may be the only gift he or she receives. So plan to pack quality items that will last. Be sure to make them FUN, adding a “wow” item and new toys a child will love; FULL, with no empty space; and PERSONALIZED so that each is unique and prayed over and includes a note of encouragement.

Stop wasting money on baby gadgets you'll use once. 🙅♀️ This is my ride-or-die list of baby products that I truly couldn't have survived without. Spoiler alert: It's a short list!
Also let me be super upfront
I am NOT putting diapers, wipes, or bag bottles on here.
Why? Because EVERY baby is different. I mean it. Your first baby might love Avent bottles but your second refuses them.
Your first baby might love get rashes with Huggies but the second can only be able to wear Huggies. So be mindful.
My recommendation for those is don’t buy too many of just One brand. If you want to stock up , try a few of each.
That way you don’t waste all your money if baby ends up not being able to use certain products.
