4} Target carries my absolute favorite brand of notebooks and papers- Greenroom… LOVE them! I can not get enough of these notebooks… I bought an entire gaggle (i can say gaggle when it comes to paper, can’t i) and I am not about to share. They are mine… And I wouldn’t mind that yellow bag either- but that’s another post…
5} Definitely a few of these… for cocoas and teas, soups and so many other things. MUST HAVE!!!
6} Locker decor. We’ve purchased shelves, a mirror (insert eye roll here), a lipgloss holder, a dry erase board and super cute magnetic polaroid frames. It’s been fun! Gen, the ever frugal (when it’s her money) drama queen plotted her $15 locker decor budget and is diagramming so that she can maximize her school locker interior design aspirations…
7} And lastly, when all of the pens, pencils, erasers and folders are put away in the backpack, eagerly anticipating the first day of school- the number one thing on my list (next to the coffee pot) is this baby:
While i don’t dry many of my clothes, Genny’s get dried. After hundreds of dollars in school uniforms though, and the incredibly freakish way in which she grows- I’ve decided that her uniform stuff is entering the world of hang drying…
SIDENOTE- while searching for a recommended list of “morning” music to get a family up and going- the number 7 recommended song was Sex Machine, by James Brown. Um, yeah. probably not, but thanks Random Internet List. I think I’ll stick to the Beatles and U2 list I am compiling in my head…
What songs get you going in the morning? (and NOT in the James Brown sort of way…)
Rainy Day in May... 
How about Jackson 5 "ABC" it kinda' has a school ring to it.I love school supplies too. I might be in denial about what we need to start school. I should probably start thinking about that:)
I love the title. Isn't it from a line out of "You've Got Mail?"Back-to-school time is always great fun. I really miss it.
Tell Gen that she did good picking out the back pack (Jenna would love it) – she was always a Billabong girl! Love, love, love the reusable sandwich bags – might have to pick one of those up for myself! Too cute.
Backpack is too cute!
Love all the green things on your list! I started making our reusable sandwich bags and then my sewing machine broke! figures! You won my giveaway! Check your email – I just need your info so I can ship it out to you. :-)
Oooo! "Sadie Hawkins Dance" by Reliant K
Oh the memories of school terms with two children and the huge lists of must haves.
Hi Misty. Have now found how to comment on your blog. I can use my gmail account. And I so love the idea of reusable sandwich bags.
love that backpack, actually! it's very cute. i hope she doesn't want to swap it out for something louder. i was a total "navy blue messenger bag" girl…i listen to a lot of dancey music in the morning… is gaga too inappropriate? ;-)
i see someone already commented they liked the title. ME TOO! "You've Got Mail!!" LOL i think those are the cutest thermoses.
