Back to School FAVES

  Well... it's undeniable at this point and as much as I hate to admit it, school is coming whether I like it or not.  All my kids are all 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 ;) 

A couple of years ago we 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!




If you need the cutest Owala of all time check out THIS ONE!


Griffin got this North Face bag in the mint color and LOVES it!


And of course had to accessorize it with a couple of these cuties ;) 



Mason is using this Patagonia backpack...




... and Luke got this Lego backpack and lunch box for his Senior year.




My boys each have one of these lunchboxes and they've held up well for 4+ years despite a few trips to the lost and found - Mason wants to use his same one again!



... and G's lunchbox bit the a couple of years ago 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 ;) WE LOVE THESE BAGS and use them for #allthethings and they look brand new after years and years and years of wear.


I bought this lunch tote for myself last year and I love it SO MUCH!




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 Golas (in a different colorway that's not available anymore)...


and they are SO CUTE!  


Both of my boys picked out New Balances (again!) - they both had these last year and they wear them constantly!


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


... and I ordered these for Griffin and they could not be cuter! They're the perfect mix of the "lettuce" ruffly socks and crew socks.


Walmart has some of the CUTEST little notebooks and binders and other things for SUCH great prices!


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


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