1st Day of School Inspiration

What? SCHOOL already?! I know, I know, it doesn't seem possible, does it? We still have 2 weeks before school starts here, but lots of kiddos have already headed back!

Do you have any special "First Day of School" traditions? We are lucky just to all be up and ready on time, but we DO always squeeze in time for a quick photo shoot. Some families have special breakfasts too! Check out this fun one via Your Home Based Mom:

Here's some back to school scrapbooking inspiration for you....

back to school round-up!

It's about that time of year again! Our angelic children are gearing up for another year of school and exhausted parents counting down the days until their house becomes quiet again.

Let's talk lunchboxes...

I have no idea how half of the Summer has managed to zip right on by! I thought we had oodles of time left before having to think about school again, but boy was I wrong.... Everywhere I turn there are Back To School advertisements trying to suck my money away early... I'm so not ready to think about school year chaos yet though.

In hopes of tackling our back to school lists slowly..... I'm going to start with brainstorming LUNCHBOXES!

"What's there to think about?!", you say...... yes, I do realize you can snag a lunchbox at most stores, but I like to cause myself as much stress as possible ;) Well, not intentionally mind you.....

Last year the boys had Laptop Lunchboxes which were good, but I'd really like to see what all my options are before plunking down money on anything.

So let's see what we can dig up.................OH and let me preface this by saying that I'm really into the bento style lunch kits, i find they make it really easy to come up with well balanced lunches.

Laptop Lunches

(the one thing i dislike about the laptop lunches is the smell of the water bottles. they have SUCH a strong plastic/toxic odor that washing [a lot] never got rid of.... )

Kids Konserve

(i have a set of the little tins, which i really like, but ordered a set of the reusable sandwich wrappers and was completely PUT OFF by the plastic smell of them.... I have yet to use them because of that....)
