Well, we did it – we survived the past five months with all four of us being under one roof whilst schooling, working and doing whatever else it was we did to pass the time. Monday morning was the most glorious morning I’ve witnessed since March – my girls woke up before 10 AM, got dressed, brushed their teeth and went back to school. I almost need to pinch myself while typing these words because I never thought this day would come!
I have to be honest – when my girl’s school sent out their 2020/2021 supply list back in June I laughed out loud and then preceded to wait until the very last minute to purchase said supplies. I mean, what if they were going to be home for nine weeks? I wasn’t going to purchase a bunch of stuff just to have my girls use it before they actually needed it only to have to go back to the store and re-purchase everything. Then one afternoon in early August we received word the girl’s school planned to actually re-open and the back to school shopping commenced. Sharing ten of my favorite back to school finds to get the kids fired-up about the new school year.
Mask Lanyard // This first find is a sign of the times but the MOST important purchase you will make if your kids are going to be in the classroom. This cute personalized lanyard will A) keep them from losing their mask and B) keep them from losing their lanyard.
Hydroflask Cooler Bag // OK so technically this is for me but I’m going back to work so I deserve a surcee too, right? I love the size of this bag – perfect for a packed lunch, drink and a snack. I love these for back to school containers too!
Paper Mate Pens // My girls are obsessed with these pens and get so excited when I treat them to a package to share!
Pencil Case // I purchased these cases for Regan and Ava last year and they held up so well. Tons of storage space too.
Vans // Almost every single middle school girl had a pair of these on the first day of school – mostly the high top style but high tops rub my girls ankles so I’m digging the low top version. Lots of colors available.
Sticky Tab Notes // Who knew they made sticky notes to do all of the things? How great are these for studying?
Spiral Notebook // How cute is this? Comes in tons of different styles & colors.
Hand Sanitizer Wipes // I love these individually wrapped wipes – perfect for sticking in your kids backpack and lunch box.
Better Together Note Pouch // I’m so in love with this thing. Perfect for keeping everything protected and in one place.
Weekly Calendar Notepad // Now that my girls are a little older they have the skills to plan ahead. Love these for making the process more fun!
