Who's ready for a new school year?

Published over 1 year ago • 2 min read

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).

School Must Haves from Amazon

School is fast approaching and preparation can be a tedious task for anyone with kids at home, in preschool, elementary, middle, high school, or even college.

My Go-To "Drop Off" Outfit

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.
