It’s that time again. You know the time where our clothes are picked out, our lunch is packed, our binder and backpacks are all put together and we decide we’re going to make this the best year we’ve had yet. It’s back to school time.
I never thought this day would come…my last first day of school. And I am more than excited about it. Some of you probably loved school, but not me. I’d pretty much rather be doing anything else than sitting in a chair for an hour and a half listening to someone I may or may not be able to understand try to explain this subject that I probably don’t care about. (Entrepreneurship actually wasn’t that bad.)
It’s about this time i’m getting pretty nostalgic. I know there’s a whole world out there ahead of me but school is all i’ve ever done come fall and spring. I don’t know what it’ll be like without it. But I think that’s the fun it in too. I’m sure later this week i’ll post some more “back to school” pics but for now i’ll let you just admire baby Morgan and baby Molly going to elementary school. Sweet shoes, right??
For all of you going back to school today, good luck!
Giveaway
This is the giveaway that I was supposed to do on my Back to School traditions post, but I decided to wait until today to do it. I think this is better anyways 🙂 The items in my giveaways usually come from my own pocket, therefore limiting me on the amount that I can actually do. I really don’t do as many giveaways as i’d like to do through this blog. I seriously appreciate you all and I look forward to getting to work in the morning because I know my phone is going to keep buzzing with e-mails about comments from you all. It makes me feel so special and that someone does care about what I think and write about :). YOU are all the best. So in honor of today being back to school Monday for most of us and as a little “thank you” I decided to send one of you my favorite necessities for back to school…
My favorite Aromatherapy scent from Bath and Body works. I swear by this stuff.
A gift card to Starbucks so you can purchase your favorite cup of coffee on your early morning.
Everyone’s favorite Nordstrom BP studs.
The bracelet to match from Nordstrom Rack. (I love this so much I bought myself one!)
A notebook to take notes/write for your blog/make comments/etc. for you back to school or work.
And a couple of my absolute favorite pens.

I know! I’m so nerdy when it comes to the first day of school. I always want new supplies when I really don’t need it and I always have everything laid out and ready to go. Then the rest of the year is always chaotic!
