back to school fashion, school supplies
My kids officially start school next week. And while I’m never ready to be done with the lazy days of summer, we are ready for school. School supplies organized. New clothes purchased. Lunch ideas at the ready (though, admittedly, a few weeks in to the school year, I tend to forego all original thought and…
It seems like every few years, we need to update backpacks. In preschool, a small backpack could carry a change of clothes and the few papers that would come to and from school. By elementary school, a larger backpack is needed to carry a lunch box, snack bag, gym shoes, folders and a book or…
In just a couple short weeks my little ladies are going to be wandering the halls of their school, and I won’t see them for too many hours. Ahh!! How is this happening already!! We are making the best of it though with the idea of new clothes and accessories brightening our day. We always…
Last year I packed approximately 360 school lunches (that’s 180 days of lunches for 2 girls). Not that I’m complaining. Packing lunches each morning was a pretty easy task, especially knowing that my girls were getting a nutritious lunch with foods I knew they’d actually eat. But those last few weeks? Yeah, I was ready…

I, for one, prefer to avoid the mall and specialty shops at all cost this time of year–especially with my young children in tow. The crowds! The decisions! The hunt for the right size! The toddler demanding snacks and hiding in the…

Every year I try a new lunch box for my kids, hoping to find one that will really work. I like a lunch box that can hold a lot of food (and keep it completely smush-free–smushed sandwiches do not go over well), can hold a water bottle in addition to the food AND allows me…
Everyone in our family loves music. Living room dance parties and impromptu rock concerts in the cars are a regular occurrence {despite that four out of the five of us can’t carry a tune}! But, as the kids get older and their musical tastes change, we sometimes find it hard to agree on what music…

Backpacks are one of the most essential things for kids these days going to school. Many kids every year go to school without backpacks. How do these kids do it? They just do….because they have to! I want to introduce you to a great company called Carri Backpack. When I saw how fantastic these backpacks…
