Simple Observations & A Big Payoff
Look around you for the simple observations of humor as your kids start a new school year. The car pickup line, the bus stop, the kitchen mess as you prep and pack lunches. Kids who religiously complete their homework but consistently forget to turn it in. Think about the characters in your life. The setting around you that casts a texture. Think about overcoming the angst & conflict in your life. Tell those stories with more verbs in your communication style! (Use the ACTION words instead of overloading with adjectives.)
Think about the simple observations. Bougie snack request. Over-excitement over school supplies. Tiny kiddos with huge backpacks. Bus stop drama. New shoes that your kids outgrew in two months. Backpack archaeology. (You left this in here how long?) Think about both the joys AND quirks that come with the back-to-school season.
