Tips to Make Back to School Prep Easy! 

I can’t believe how old your kids are now! Who else remembers when they were younger helping Meg in the kitchen! It was so cute to watch! 🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰🤩🤩

i cannot get over how grown up your kids are, they are an absolute credit to you meg, they are the double of you, especially avery, you are doing an amazing job meg (and the other moms on this channel), all your children are amazing.

As a 31 year old with no children, I think it's really great that you're teaching them how to prepare/plan meals for themselves at such an early age. I grew up in an asian household and my Mom also had a daycare in our home so all of this was done for us all the time, even into our teenage years, because she always wanted to make sure we had food readily available. so now as an adult, I don't like grocery shopping, cooking or doing anything to make/prep food for myself and there's times where I see it as a chore. So yeah I think this episode of WUMs is actually very important. Also I've been watching WUMs since the channel launched and it is insane to see how mature and grown up all the kids are it's insane

Avery has grown so much, I remember her being a toddler! I love seeing how much everyone has grown. Avery and Presley has developed into gorgeous young ladies, and all the boys have become so charming ❤

This is how it works in my family: My parents invite us to the store if we want to go, if not we are required to make a list of snacks and foods that we want so that we have things we want in our house. Then when breakfast comes around there is y’all cereal for my brother and bagels or bread for toast as well as eggs for me. Then, when we were young, my dad would make our sandwich and cut our apple slices for us while we would pick our snacks from the snack cabinet. Since 4th grade though, we’ve been able to make our breakfast and lunch completely on our own for school. My brother and I usually wake our dad up around 7:45 with his coffee and then we leave for school by 8

As a 37yr old mom of two (ages 6 and 2) I am finding so many gems on these kinds of videos. The sports equipment packing video was so helpful, and because of it my daughter is more responsible for her stuff for each activity. Please keep making these videos for newer parents like myself who need all the help we can get!!! At some point, can you do a video about phones, screen time, social media use for children. Maybe provide information about how to deal with different families' access or rules regarding phones. My friend has a grade 5 child whose friends record tik toks with their parent's permission (and supervision). It would be helpful to see how different families involve children in the decision making process for using a phone, apps, etc.

Been watching since I was like 8 or 9 and now I’m 16 😂. Always love your videos 💕💕

The kids are so big 😳 time sure flies. Her girl looks like a model walking the grocery aisles 🥰

I also can't believe how big your kids are!! My oldest is 13yrs wearing mens clothing and shoes. I just wanna shrink my kids lol! Love this idea of shopping we don't start for 3 more weeks!

Avery’s gotten so tall!!! I remember when you made videos showing what you packed for her lunch in kindergarten!!

Love that Brooks is grabbing precut fruit for $4-5 and the entire island is full of food and yet somehow the total was $101 😂😂😂

5:23 Avery doing the angry hand thing. As someone with a lazy brother, I understand this all to well

The kids have grown so so so much!!! OMG especially Avery!!!

Omg your kids have grown I remember watching these In 2020 and they were younger and i came to see your channel today and they have grown

“Is this a prank?” “No, this is a dry run” “…get out” Omggg I love Avery

Who is not a Mom but loves watching these 😂❤

I'm not a mom but I love this channel

Avery is literally me She's such a mood

That’s the coolest store ever!

The brother is so lucky to have a sister like her!

Back to school meal hack: make the kids do it, themselves! Love this! We are working on this, as well. My oldest two are 12 and 9. It seems like more work to make them do it themselves but it teaches them independence.

It would be a nice idea for a part two video, showing how this system is going on now at Meg s house

This is so cool 😀 I wish they had amazon fresh stores in central California . I’m a farmers wife and I would love to do all my grocery shopping at an Amazon fresh store! I love teaching our kids where our food comes from before it makes it to the grocery store. So cool that the carts have their own scanners 🤩 that would make shopping so much more fun for the kids and get them involved

I honestly love this channel so much even though I’m still a kid. I’m watching a video about going back to school, yet here I am still in bed not wanting to...

Avery looks 14 and meg sounds so chill and Brooks said shnacks

The “is this a prank, get out” was sooo relatable

To make the morning smoother you should get the kids to make their lunches before bed

avery is literally such a mood omg😭🫶

I totally loved this video!!! Very relatable💜💜💜

The kids were funny as well as the end. Also the fact that this is about going back to school. Meanwhile I seating here not wanting to go back.

These hacks are soooooooo useful ,they actually have worked pretty well for me if you ask me

I literally grew up with this channel and I'm getting so emotional 🥺

Great tips! Thank you so much. Love your videos, they are so helpful and entertaining.

I can’t believe how much your kids have grown meg!

Such a good idea, can incorporate budgetting into it as well

They're grown so much !!! I loves that Avery thought it was a prank

hiii your hacks are.....AMAZING !

The fact that they picked almost all fruit definitely says something!!

Meg: You guys never help me out Avery: Why Would we? Me: Badass Avery, Badass 😎

I love the idea!

So happy to see Meg back! ❤️

I wish my kids would make breakfast and lunch by themselves. Apparently my 12 yr old says he could but I make it better 🙄 my 7 yr old makes lunches for her and her 5 yr old brother by herself with the help from me. The 5 yr old helps too. Definitely helpful when we have things on hand that they all like to eat.

Tips for some parents: It’s easier to make lunches the night before and store them in the fridge over night! Also gives you a little sleep in😉and it doesn’t hurt for the kids to make their own lunches every now and then.

Avery’s outfit is so cute I love it 💗

I love ur tips, cant wait to use them❤❤🥰🥰 it is amazing that u take so much time to test these tips and film them💛 i always wait for ur new videos and utilise them in some ways🤪 always a pleasure to watch! All ur kids have grown so much and i bet they will be great moms!!😂

Those carts are so cool!

early!! my first day of school is tmrw and i’m so unprepared😭😭😭 i rlly hope this helpssss! ily guys!!

i love you guys so much!!! will we get anymore day in the life vlogs?? xxx

"I mean Im totally chill but I feel like theres a lot going on-" ME EVERYDAY^^^^

I'm 13 and I love your videos they are awesome.

Can’t wait for the Amazon Fresh near our house to open! My boys are probably at the age that I can enlist them to help but even asking them to fill their water cups gets a lot of pushback and groaning. One way I save time is I try to pack as much of their lunches the night before as possible.

A good suggestion I have that my family does, is we get our lunches made the night before

OMG! Your kids are so grown up now!☺️

My family always had a seperate cupboard for school snacks so it was easy to grab. We had to have a main (leftovers, sandwich etc) at least 1 fruit, a drink and no more than 1 of each kind of snack (granola bar, fruit snack, pudding etc). Also if the kids cant wait until they get home to get a snack keep some non-perishable snacks in your car and just refill every week

Ya ya so excited

Brooks grabbing boxes of pockys is so me😭

Good ideas for my school

Omg the kids are all grown up now, especially your eldest! I remember when she was so small

The cucumber fight scene was 🤣🤣🤣

I am not a mom but a kid and loves to watch these vids

In NEVER thought I would here Meg say i don’t want anymore schedules🤣🤣

Hello! I love you guys so so so so much I have been watching since WHATS up Elle I think it was called from the start of their then starting here then what’s up kids I love you guys so so so much and also last year I went to the same school with Avery and I was wondering if she’s still going their bc I think I’m switching idk

Great job

I'm so exited to practice this with my kids (when I have them 😂)

Another tip for school mornings is to pack lunches the night before and put them in the fridge overnight. That way the kids have one less thing to do in the morning

Hi what’s up moms I love this video can you please do more plant based/ healthy lunches because I’m running out of ideas for healthy school lunches

Haha my kids would go straight for the Pocky 🤣

avery is literally a mini meg

As a long time viewer of your channel, watching your videos feels like watching my friends/siblings grow up with me :,) (I’m sorry if this sounds creepy)

YOUR KUDS HAVE GROWN UP SO MUCH

I didn’t do the dry run but wish I had. I let my tween sleep in till 11 during the summer, and boy, those first few days of getting up at 6:30 were rough. He is adjusting, though! 😅

Kids: it’s zero sugar mom This absolutely cracked me up this is how I convinced my mom to do stuff

Hi I’ve been waiting for the summer videos

The cucumber fight😂

Avery had grown up so much, Wow! All of them rlly but she is so pretty. Great video!

I just love your videos ❤

I know that getting back to school is hard but it is good!🎉

OMG the kids grew so much.❤

AMAZING VIDEO!!!

This video is so good

My parents have always had us prepare our own breakfasts, there isn't a time I remember (outside of special occasions) where somebody else made one for me. My mom also had my brother and I making lunches for each other twice a week last summer, and writing grocery lists and going to the store with her. We've also been making suppers for ourselves every Thursday for a few years now (This isn't a responsibility thing, just convenience, but still.). These things have really helped me learn important life skills. It also helped my little brother! He's not very responsible (no offense to my little brother), but he at least knows how to make himself a pot of ramen. We also help put away the groceries every week! I'm so glad my mom did this so I have a jump-start on meal planning and preparation! (And to the note at the end of the video, I've been doing all of my own laundry since I was 12!)

I remember when they were so little!

Avery is so pretty!😊❤

That should be your next video teaching my kids too do laundry

Hey I love what's up moms

oh my god. It’s been years since I watched y’all, y’all have grown up.

I used to watch this but I didn't have a account but now i do so I subscribed

I remember when Avery was tiny and now she’s so tall!!!

0:52 love the honesty

Oop! I see that green tea pocky tho!!!! 🙌🙌🙌

the fact that i am 13 and watched almost all the videos smh

I love your videos

I love your video

Love it!! Just wondering if you’re gonna upload on the “what’supkids” channel?

I can't believe your kids are so grown up when I saw your kids become older i remember seeing them when they were kids

Wow Meg the kids have really grown up.

Please do another back to school shopping video

I have the same birthday as Avery!

In the uk we have 3 weeks left of the summer holidays

I have been watching this channel since I was 6😂❤
