The best part about going back to school, according to my kids, is the after-school snacks. It’s definitely a perk for me, too! I’m so happy to partner with Walmart today to share some back-to-school favorites! They have so many cute and comfy things to wear, like this cozy sweatshirt and fitted sweatpants (they’re like a cute cross between leggings and sweatpants)! They’re both Free Assembly which is one of my favorite brands to browse on Walmart. Lilly’s pastel green backpack is new, too, and it’s water resistant!

Okay back to after school snacks – brownies are one of our family’s favorite desserts! They’re easy and fun to make together and the pan always lasts a few days! Our not-so-secret ingredient – we add some chopped up chocolate to the mix! Any chocolate we have on hand! I used one of our new Farberware Resin knives and our mint green cutting board for this task.

The Farberware Resin Knife Set includes all of these pretty knives and is only $25! They’re awesome!

I didn’t take a picture of the brownie mix that we used but it’s this one. It’s our favorite box mix!

I found this Handheld Emersion Blender in the back to college section. It’s part of the Drew Barrymore Beautiful collection and it is awesome and priced so well at only $34! We used the whisk attachment for the brownies and it has serious power! It’s such a great kitchen tool for kids to use and a great gift idea as well!

Isn’t the design on the back of Lil’s sweatshirt fun? I like the colors. Hooded sweatshirts are one of her favorite things to wear right now.

My pink gingham seersucker dress is also Free Assembly! It’s really soft and is only $36! It also comes in navy which would be great for fall as well! I love the ruffle detail on the shoulders.

Here are some more of Drew Barrymore’s pieces in her Beautiful collection. So many well priced kitchen tools that not only look great but are easy enough for kids to use!

toaster, large griddle, electric kettle,

hand held blender, air fryer, block knife set

I love the color palette and the soft matte finish of the collection! This electric hot water kettle is gorgeous enough to leave out on your countertop, and it comes in all the collection matte color options! I use my hot water kettle all morning long and then again in the afternoon or evening for matcha lattes or another hot tea! I literally couldn’t live without it. I also love this air fryer, it’s 9 quarts so can handle large batches!

It’s hard to believe that Summer Reading will soon give way to a new school year! This time of year can always feel a little wild with preparing all the classroom supplies and back to school clothes! I mean, how do kids grow so fast? I’m excited to partner with Walmart to share some of my favorite finds for Back to School gear for all ages – they have literally everything you need!

Our summer has been so good and packed with summer camps, plenty of down time to just hang with friends, some traveling, and a lot of good books. In case you’re looking for some fantastic book recommendations Fletcher loves all of the Percy Jackson series (some of them he’s read more than once). And this summer Lilly read and loved The Canyon’s Edge and The Summer I Turned Pretty (the book is not as mature as the new tv series by the way).

One thing is for sure each year, new school year new headphones. Somewhere along the way we always lose a pair or break a pair. And sometimes in the middle of the year I even get a note from the teacher to send in a new pair of headphones because the last pair was dropped and is broken. These wireless blue headphones have bluetooth and a built in mic and are quite sturdy at a great price!

I got Fletcher this blue plaid button down shirt for only $13! It looks really nice and is very soft and comfortable! He’s wearing it with his fleece pants that are just $16, and trust me you can’t have enough of these because they are so comfy. They have the cutest fit and the quality is really nice.

Lilly now has this cute Terrycloth set in two colors. It’s the most adorable outfit and looks really good worn as separates as well! And isn’t this green just the prettiest shade? For sizing reference she’s in the size 10-12 and is 12 years old. Also her dreams finally came true for 7th grade and she got a pair of Apple AirPods! I like to think I’m a cool Mom. Though I’m probably not since I said it.

My cotton poplin smocked dress is perfect for summer and is only $23 and comes in a few great colors. I also have it in black as well! For sizing reference I’m in the size small.
