I hope you all had a really great and safe Halloween! Our’s was really nice and the kids had a great day. Here are a few photos!
We carved pumpkins Friday night. I’m wearing this pink top from Amazon.
Lilly on a little bike ride in her alien abduction costume. So funny! She wore this a few Halloweens ago and it never gets old.
Fletch dressed up as a dancing tube guy. Loved this costume SO much!!
Lilly’s costume this year was a burglar. Super easy and comfy to wear.
And I dressed up as Sadness from the movie Inside Out. Very hard to stay in this character! I’m wearing this wig and I was really impressed with the quality.
In addition to my big back to school post last week I wanted to put together another round up, because let’s be honest, back to school shopping is just fun. Whether you’ve already started or not, or whether your e-learning from home or are indeed back in these classroom, new supplies just make getting organized and motivated way more fun!
Above, Lilly showcasing our number 1 VIP back to school supply, a chromebook. And below, 15 more fun finds like that cool wall hanger organizer for when you’re tight on space for your supplies!
Yes of course I included Sohp Shop Surprise Soap, washing hands has literally never been more important!! Every time we walk into our house we all go straight to a sink to wash our hands. And now with my shameless plug complete, protect those little eyes from too much screen time with the most adorable blue light blocking glasses!! My kids love wearing their’s. These masks are really cute and perfectly sized for kids.
And here below, how cool is this reversible flip sequin bulletin board? If Lilly didn’t already have one I’d want to get her this. And also this is a cool one for boys, Fletch loves having one in his room, too! He displays sports ribbons and photos and things!
And these magnetic strips with clips would be perfect for important information, all the papers that get sent home, A+ papers, and art!
Back to School looks a lot different this year. With so many questions up in the air all that we can do is be flexible and as prepared as we can possibly be. With all of this in mind, I’m really excited to partner with eBay to highlight their refurbished laptop selection! As learning environments change, so do our supply needs. Binders are out and laptops are in. And there is no need to buy brand new – eBay’s huge selection of refurbished laptops are guaranteed good-as-new and a much better value!
We chose a refurbished HP Chromebook because it’s what the kids are familiar with at school and is very reasonably priced. This laptop has all the bells and whistles they need, but isn’t distracting like their iPads they already have here at the house.
One bonus of at-home learning is the ability to switch up your “classroom” throughout the day, every day. My kids like to switch up their atmosphere and keep things feeling new, and a laptop makes this easy. Like taking the zoom meeting on the front porch swing bed!
Or studying with your friends (virtually) on the green sofa in the family room.
Or taking gym class on the spin bike! They can follow their friends and take live classes together.
And music class practicing their piano skills on the keyboard with a lesson app on your laptop!
Don’t worry, Lilly has an actual desk, too! This is where she chooses to do most of her school work. By the way, how fun is that jellyfish lamp? Lil and Fletch both have them and they use them every single day. It’s like a pet, but no hassle – my favorite kind.
The discounted price of eBay’s certified refurbished laptops (up to 50%) paired with the peace of mind that they have been tested, verified, and come direct from Manufacturers make eBay the place to go. They offer a 90 day warranty and a hassle-free money back guarantee. Check out their selection right here!
New to me brand spotlight today! I discovered Stoney Clover Lane when they emailed me about ordering Sohp Shop for their stores in NYC, The Hamptons, and Palm Beach. I’m now obsessed. And if I’m obsessed then you could say that Lilly is majorly obsessed. Take a look at how cute.
Stoney Clover Lane is a brand of bags and organizing accessories that you can totally customize. They have a ton of different style, colors, shapes, sizes, fabrics, patterns. But the really fun part is the patches you can choose to customize your piece. They have SO many and they’re all SO fun. The patches come in varieties of themes like candy colored letters, back to school, travel, sports and hobbies, food and drink, girl power, nature, animals… and it goes on and on! This is the bag Lilly designed as her dream back to school backpack. She wants a notebook too with themed patches. And a duffle with her name. And a smaller bag with her initials. It’s gotten out of control. I wouldn’t say this is budget babe find either, sorry guys. You’ve been warned.
But I mean, just look how cute. Even I want to make a back to school bag. And they have masks!! I have a feeling we’ll be shopping here for birthdays and Christmas.
I don’t know how it’s looking where you all are but here in Charleston our kids won’t be back in school (and probably virtually, at least to start) until September! My kids are not all bummed out, summer break is pretty great even in these Covid times, but having some fun activities and things to do make it a whole lot easier on me. This whole post is inspired by the most amazing kit that we found for Lilly that is literally alllll she wants to do or talk about right now. I even have to admit it’s pretty cool and I’d be obsessed if I were a kid, too!
This Puffy Charms DIY Kit is basically the coolest kit we’ve gotten yet. I swear this isn’t sponsored, ha! We just love it so much that I feel it’s my duty to spread the word. There are 250 different charms to make, and to make them you just stick together the puffy stickers and add the little loop. So it’s easy to do and there are so many possibilities. You can make bracelets, necklaces, anklets, key charms, bag charms, pencils, shoe lace charms…
So adorable. And because more is always more around here, here are some more great ideas to keep your kids entertained in the many weeks ahead! I love them all!
That Zip Line is currently 30% off on Amazon! And you guys have to click over and see those Neighborly Notes, seriously SO cute!!! Lil and Fletcher would love these, especially right now. If your kids haven’t read the Wayside Stories books then let this be your nostalgic reminder. They’re so funny, and easily one of Fletcher’s favorite set of books he has read! The reusable Waterballs are like water balloons but softer, way easier and way better for the planet. Lastly, right now Lilly is really into making smoothie popsicles! They’re the perfect healthy summer treat! Happy weekend, Everyone!
