Back to School FAVORITES

Well... it's undeniable at this point.  All my kids are home from camp and we're in the home stretch of summer.  SIGH.  In the spirit of back-to-school I'm sharing some of our FAVORITE things for this season because if you have to go back to school a fresh pair of sneakers eases the pain just a bit ;) 

We all have officially converted over to Owala freesip bottles and love them so so so much!  Love that the lid just pops up and you can drink from a straw without actually putting your mouth on a straw. I also love that you can throw them in a bag and they don't leak!

Griffin picked out this backpack last year and I think it may be the best backpack I've ever bought. 

TONS of space, has held up super well (she's extra hard on backpacks for some reason) and has washed up beautifully.  If strawberries aren't your kids "thing" it comes in a ton of patterns as well as plain black.

My boys each have one of these lunchboxes and they've also held up well...

... and G's lunchbox bit the dust last year and she opted just to get  a three-pack of these tote bags to throw her lunch in.  Well.... actually she wants to use my set of these from a few years go that have smileys on them and has graciously offered up a trade ;) hahaha

My kids don't really do back-to-school clothes shopping since they wear uniforms but they do like to start the school year with new shoes.

Griffin picked out this pair of Gazelles which is even cuter in person...

... Mason picked out these Dunks...

... and Luke got these AirMaxes.

And then, honestly, the only other item that any of them needed to start the year were socks ;) Both my boys wear these...

... and these (as did every other boy ever)

... and I ordered these for G and I really hope she loves them!

Last, but not least These labels are still my go-to for everything.  Uniform pieces tend to be hard to trackdown if they're not labeled and these stay on FOREVER and make things easily identifiable.

Happy back-to-school season, y'all!
