Back-to-School Breakfast Tradition
The back to school countdown is officially on! 4 weeks from today and I will have a 2nd grader & a Kindergartner. All the feels AND emotions. In my effort to make this school year feel as “normal” as possible, we are still planning our usual back to school traditions and that includes our 1st day of school breakfast! We always do something extra yummy (& healthy!) for breakfast complete with balloons and special plates & napkins. This year I decided to get crafty and add in a few DIY details to our back-to-school breakfast set up. I turned basic brown paper bags into ruler themed snack bags and made…

At just under $30, they are a little on the pricey side, but well worth the investment. Did I mention they are leak-proof and dishwasher-safe?! Read on to learn about a few of my favorite lunch packing tools + some fun Bento…

Wellness Kit for Teachers
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc., Emergen-C, Kleenex and Dial. All opinions are mine alone. #BeWellEssentials #CollectiveBias It’s officially fall, y’all! The leaves are changing and the temps are (finally!) beginning to drop here in South Carolina. But with all of the fun that fall brings, it also brings some not so fun things, too! As a preschool teacher, I have learned a thing or two about supporting wellness for myself (and my family). And this year I am staying ahead of the season – thanks to my wellness kit for teachers! This fall, I’m heading to Kroger to stock up on the essentials. Kroger is our…
