This week Caroline started 5th grade and Thomas started 3rd grade! We met their teachers last week and I have such a great feeling about the school year ahead for both of them. Back To School Dinner To wrap up an incredible summer, we celebrated with a fun back-to-school dinner over the weekend. Our kids …

It’s the first day of school for us so I thought it would be the perfect time to share a few school things… Staying Healthy To give our kids a little immune boost at the beginning of the year, I always add a few extra vitamins and supplements to their evening routine to keep them …
A week of school lunch box ideas that are fun and easy to whip up! We are just a few weeks away from school starting back up which means…it’s almost time to pack lunches every day. While I do pack lots of boring sandwiches throughout the year, I thought it would be fun to share …
The first day of school is quickly approaching and we have been shopping for all things back-to-school! Here are a few things we’ve scooped up for Thomas. He’s really easy and is mostly a one-stop-shop at Dick’s along with a few Amazon items. A few things I wanted to highlight from this list is… Also …
Today I’m taking Caroline back-to-school shopping for 5th grade! Well, I’m taking Thomas too, but he’s not nearly as excited as she is. While he does care more about his style these days, he’s an easy one-stop shop at Dick’s. Over the past few weeks, Caroline has been curating items in a “back-to-school wish list” …
Summer is flying by and I know teacher wish list making is in full force! With Amazon Prime Day right around the corner (July 16-17!), I thought it would be perfect timing to collect and share Amazon wish lists from my Title 1 or first-year teacher readers who could use some help getting their classrooms …
I wanted to share the cutest and easiest “pencil snack” that is perfect for celebrating all sorts of school occasions — back-to-school, 100 days of school, last day of school, classroom parties, school bake sale, or an extra special afternoon snack after a big test! Caroline and I recently made these for her friends for …
Yesterday Caroline started 4th grade and Thomas started 2nd grade — at their new school! Caroline was nervous about moving to a new school this year and we spent countless hours talking with her about it throughout the summer. Thankfully, she was able to meet and become friends with a handful of rising 4th grade …
While we don’t return to school until late August, I know many of you are starting much sooner! So today I wanted to round up all things back-to-school in case you’re looking for a fun new tradition, shopping for school stuff, teacher gifts and SO much more! Back-to-School Dinner Tradition Starting off with one of …
This week Caroline started third grade and Thomas started first grade! I had very mixed emotions about the kiddos returning to school. In some ways, it felt like summer flew by and in others, it felt like it was unending. We have all been ready and excited for the new school year, our teachers, and …
Last Sunday we threw our annual back to school dinner! This is our third year hosting this celebratory dinner for the kids and I always look forward to this tradition. Not only is it exciting to kick off the year ahead, we love to close out the summer by reminiscing on all the fun things …
