The mom of four, 33, is getting ready to make the switch from shore days to school days, telling PEOPLE about how she's preparing for the school year.
"We have to get all of the toys out of our backpacks because we have packed in. I think they have thought since school ended in the spring that they have just been packing their backpack. It is chock full of like random [stuff]," she laughs.
"I'm talking a wooden wedge of watermelon, like two toy cars, Play-Doh that has dried into spaghetti. I think it's technically a worm if you ask them. There is just so much in their backpack right now that has no business going to school, so we will need to do that first," she says.

Kylie says older daughers Elliotte, 4½ and Wyatt, 5½ are "very much in the phase of life where they enjoy doing the back-to-school shopping."
"We'll go to the store and let them shop because that's their contribution," she shares.
It's a big year for the family, with Wyatt headed to kindergarten. Kylie admits there are mixed emotions seeing her oldest head to school full-time.
"We're getting ready for kindergarten, which is going to be exciting. I'm having my mom moment about kindergarten and the fact that it will be like the start of school, right? Like, it's not preschool, it's school. So it's a little... I didn't know that this would be what would get me, but it has gotten me once or twice to just be like, 'Oh, you're leaving me... every weekday for the rest of your life. It's a little emotional."
Raising daughters in a world where sports talk encompasses both male and female athletes is an exciting prospect for Kylie, who supports Dove's mission to help young girls in sports develop and build body confidence.
"It's so cool. I'm so excited for what's on the horizon for them. I'm so excited for them to be within this generation of girls who are given the opportunity to be coached by people who are putting the body confidence sport program in place," she shares.
Kylie introduced a short film, "Fans of Confidence," at the Saturday, Aug. 9 Gotham FC game. The film shows the pros of Gotham FC show up to cheer on girls in their youth programs — making them feel seen, celebrated and encouraged to stay in the game."It is so important to not only have your peers be lifting you up, but then to have coaches who are setting you up for success and making sure that they're supporting you in a way that helps you be confident, helps you stay in sport."
