First Day Back to School: How We Conquered the Chaos with a Sunrise Stroll

avatar

Today was officially back-to-school day in Belgium, which for parents, means a morning that starts with a jolt. You know the drill—getting the kids out of bed, dressed, and fed, all while keeping track of whether the lunchboxes are packed, the shoes match, and no one’s forgotten their homework. It’s a flurry of activity that feels like you’ve run a marathon before 9 AM.

But after the kids were safely off to school, we decided to reset the day with a brisk 5km walk. And not just any walk—this was a stroll through some of the most beautiful scenery the Belgian countryside has to offer. The sun was just creeping over the horizon, casting everything in a golden light that made the early start feel entirely worth it. There’s something magical about being out in nature at that time of day, especially when you’ve just escaped the morning madness. The air was fresh, the path was peaceful, and we could practically feel the stress melting away with every step.

By the time we looped back home, we’d clocked in 8.5k steps and a whole lot of calm. It’s amazing how a simple walk can transform your mindset for the rest of the day. After that, diving into work and parenting felt much more manageable.

Sure, the rest of the day was a blur of emails, phone calls, and after-school activities, but that morning walk? It was a game-changer. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of life’s chaos, taking a moment for yourself—especially in the great outdoors—can make all the difference.

So here’s to sunrise strolls, breathing in the fresh air, and making the most out of the craziness that is back-to-school season. Bring on the next challenge, because after today, we’re ready for it!

Pretty !WEIRD day, to start on a Wednesday! Here it is always on a Monday. Of course, first day back to school on a Wednesday has the big advantage of easing them back into it without totally exhausting them from them start! 😉

Nah, today, thursday will not be that great day :-) After a long night of little sleep, the day has stated really grey and dark again! Unfortunately, today was forecasted to be the only good day for the coming 10 days again...
Well, we've been practicing for this weather during past spring :-)

That would be nice !INDEED !!! :-)
Because, unfortunately, although September, up until mid oktober, typically is still very nice and enjoyable, this year it promises to be grey, cold and wet again. Much like… Well, about 80% of the rest of this year so far :-D !LOLZ

!INDEED, and it seems fitting, since they use weather modification and warfare against us, so we should be able to use our own to counter it. Yes, the year of no summer.... 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Just learned that the almost total absence of summer this year has had a big economic impact on a lot of companies in Belgium, and that this might have an impact on the people as well…
Again..
Of course..

That doesn't surprise me at all. Indeed, of course. The agenda is a dark one, but things are crashing hard for them, so I don't think that they'll be able to continue forward with their plans for much longer. Too many people are waking up, and they're pissed! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Very much so, I see it more and more and more each day, and even in people that I would not have expected! Huge numbers of people are snapping out of the trance now, and it's glorious to watch! Of course, they're trying to start World War 3 as quickly as they can, along with extremely rapid implementation of uber draconian and tyrannical 'laws' all over the place, as well as weaponized everything. Yep, things are about to pop! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Those morning photographs are exceptionally fantastic! Thanks for sharing those here!

In Oman, today a new chapter started in our life too. Our kid's first school day! Here, the school starts at 7:30 am. So, it's gonna be a tough task for us to wake him up in early morning, prepare him and take him to the school. Hoping for the best!

Oh boy!!! I know the drill!! Our kids have to get on the bus at 7:10, meaning our daughter wakes up at 5:30, to make sure she’s in time and ready. Our son on the other hand, wakes up at 6:55 😂😂😂
Good luck there! Hope they had a great day!
