Who's ready for a new school year?


OK, So some of you might already have kids in school. Mine have a few more days of summer left. But either way, with school underway I'm always in need of some easy lunch ideas I can do the day before or right away in the morning.

Last year I did a mini-lunch ideas “series” on Instagram with Ecozoi. Today I'm sharing those lunches on a blog post for easy reference anytime you need lunch inspo. Make sure you check back here because I will make sure to update this with more lunches!

School Shopping Made Easy

If you're still shopping for school stuff here are all of my go-to's all available right on Amazon! Everything from homeschooling to back-to-school to college. I even have fun ideas for Parents and teachers (pst, teacher gifts are great anytime of the year).

In Wisconsin, it gets cold in the mornings and warmer during the day around school time. so I tend to find an outfit that I can wear most if not all of the day. These pieces are definite go-tos for me.
