Friday Favorites // Back to School Edition

The girls are going back to school next week. Cue the tears, and confetti. We can’t believe Summer is coming to an end, and while I loathe the idea of packing lunches again every morning but I think the long hours of peace & quiet will get me through. I thought I would share a bunch of our back to school faves, and would love to hear all of yours in the comments!!

We haven’t officially decided on backpacks, but I am in LOVE with this confetti cutie!! It’s on sale today, so we may have to pull the trigger. I also have been eyeing this floral beauty because I’m obsessed with everything by Lulie Wallace, Harper totally has her heart set on the confetti though! 😉

These are the best bento boxes ever for inside your kiddos lunch box with an ice pack, I love that it is just one piece with a lid (not tons of little boxes!), they don’t leak and hold up really well, even in the dishwasher!! Some lunch ideas from last year if you are interested!

If you are an essential oil lover, this is the rollerball you will need for all the back to school emotions (for both you and your kiddos!!) It’s our all time fave!

Our shoe closet gets pretty out of hand during the school year, so we like to stick to three pairs of shoes per kid. One dressy (like these adooooorable glitter unicorn mary janes!), one pair of running/gym shoes (I got these for Harper, love how they’re neutral enough to wear with dresses but still super practical for PE days, at least until it gets too cold!), and of course, a pair of Hunter boots (they hold up so well we have passed them down each year, they go with everything and are the most practical shoe out there for winter and rainy days!!).

These are the cutest basic long sleeve tees, and pair so cute with denim or corduroy skirts!!

Since most of what the kids need for school is regulated (blue folder, red notebook, etc.) I decided to grab this little mermaid pencil case and fill it up with some mini gel pens, fun erasers, Harper’s favorite essential oil roller, mints for after lunch & some extra hair ties to stick in her backpack for the first day.

Also wanted to share a bunch of my favorite style picks for kiddos, loving all the yellow this year (probably because I am dreaming of Fall 24/7) and of course all of our tank dresses from Summer paired with cute cardigans as the weather cools down!

 one // two // three // four // five // six // seven

Wishing you all lots of luck as you send your babies to school, all the prayers for a happy, safe & tear free school year!!!

Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I di Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I didn’t find them any cute matching pajamas this year but they took it upon themselves to find some in their closets & dressed accordingly. They also surprised US with an Easter egg hunt around the house with recycled Easter eggs filled with hand written notes and coupons to cash in for hugs, compliments, etc. How did we get here?! The girls could hardly sleep Saturday night bursting with excitement to host our friends & neighbors for donuts in the morning, they were up before the sun ready to start setting the tables & rolling dough. For everyone reading this with babies & toddlers, just know that all of those sweet traditions you are creating will make a home in their hearts, and one day they’ll be the ones making the magic for you. 🤍🤍🤍
Our kitchen shelves are complete!! I was going to Our kitchen shelves are complete!! I was going to make you a reel but the thought of climbing up there to take this all down again was just too daunting. So you get a static post of the ultimate #shelfie 🤍 Swipe for before & afters, tap for sources!
Did your grandma ever make you a jello poke cake?! Did your grandma ever make you a jello poke cake?! They’re so fluffy and refreshing!! And always our girls birthday cake request! It’s too easy: make a white cake (from a box), poke holes in it with a toothpick, make jello according to directions in a saucepan and pour over top, and then put in the fridge for 3-5 hours to cool and set! Frost with whipped cream and serve chilled!!
