BACK TO SCHOOL...JUST FOR KIDS? SAYS WHO??

Who says school supplies are just for the younger generation actually ATTENDING school? I can’t be the only one who “geeks out” when I am in Target or Office Max and I see all of the shiny, new markers, crayons, scissors, desk organizers, etc., etc…

As a kid I couldn’t wait to get my school supply list in the mail, perusing for all the fun things I was going to get to buy! I remember going school shopping with my mom- sometimes we would get to go and do our shopping one-on-one, but with so many brothers and sisters many times we ended up going in a group (which was totally fun for us, but probably not so much for my mom). I couldn’t wait to get to the school supply aisle and start checking things off my list! I’m not going to lie, I was a little sad when I went on my last school supply shopping trip with my mom right before I left for college. I thought that I would never have a need to walk down these aisles again…but you know what? I’m an adult and I can buy school supplies if I want to!

So I decided to do a little recon on the new, fun products that are out there for the rest of the you school supply lovers. 🏫 Just because you think you are “too old” to enjoy something, don’t let it stop you- take advantage of the little things that make you happy, it’s what life is all about!

P.S.: I’m not endorsing any products or brands- these are just things I like! 😃

Sticky Notes (something you can never have enough of!)

Ok, now that I have covered the awesome back to school supplies, can we talk about the super cute back to school crafts? Now I don’t have a kid, but again, that doesn’t mean that I can’t enjoy them, right? 😉
