Space Saving Ideas for Kids Room When baby boy ar Space Saving Ideas for Kids Room

When baby boy arrived I knew bunk beds would be a great option. When he’s a little older, both boys will share the room. I’ve simplified their room and found ways to save space so it doesn’t look cluttered. I use under bed storage bins for toys and extra blankets. The 6 tier rolling cart is perfect for papers and art supplies. We limit toys in this house so this medium size basket is perfect. Also love adding these bins on the self for small toys.

We’re soaking up the last bits of summer break. Our summer was filled with pool days, water parks, popsicles and riding our bikes outside in the sun. We made so many memories this summer. I’ll miss the relaxing days and staying up late. Our school year starts on Monday and I’m excited to get back into our routine. 

Cheers to all the memories we made this summer!

Here’s a simple summer treat recipe and activity inspired by @motherscookiesus Sparkling Strawberry Mythical Creatures Cookies. These strawberry parfaits were delicious and topped with our favorite strawberry-flavored red and lavender frosted cookies! Then we took our strawberry treats outside and the kids painted strawberries on their new clay pots. 🍓☀️

Grab & Go Backpacks I love the flexibility of be Grab & Go Backpacks 

I love the flexibility of being able to homeschool in different places. Usually 2-3 times per week we are homeschooling at the library, museums, and with a co-op! So that’s means I need the school supplies packed and ready to go. I’ve had Lands End backpacks and lunch bags for my kids for several years. The quality is 10/10! Also excited for my son to use the his new Blue Sky academic planner that’s specifically for elementary age kids.

I found the cutest teacher tote bag that I’ll be using for my homeschool essentials. Here are some of the basic essentials that I always carry in my tote bag.

Back to School Cleaning with Clorox

This post is sponsored by Clorox. The opinions and text are all mine.

Back-to-school time is here and this is one of my favorite times during the year! I always feel the need to organize, declutter, and clean to prepare for back-to-school time. I also love that with back-to-school time, there is more of a structured schedule with my day. I thrive best on a structured schedule. I always feel refreshed when I have a clean home. With the fall and cooler months approaching, it’s a top priority that I keep my home disinfected from viruses and bacteria. I love using Clorox Disinfecting Wipes! I feel a peace-of-mind when using the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes because I know my home is clean and disinfected.

Clorox at Publix

During the back to school season, I love to stock up on the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes at Publix. I typically do my grocery shopping every Sunday to prepare for the week. I always add a couple of canisters of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes to my cart along with all my groceries for the week. Publix has been one of my favorite grocery stores because they have so many great savings and their customer service is top notch. This makes going grocery shopping so much better, especially when I have my kids along with me. When I’m stocking up on Clorox Wipes, I love buying the different scents. My favorite is the Clorox Scentiva Disinfecting Wipes Pacific Breeze & Coconut 6 pack 75ct. I also love the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Crisp Lemon 6 pack 75ct.

Weekly Cleaning Routine

During the back-to-school season, I love to establish a good weekly cleaning routine. During the fall and winter season, It’s important for me to make sure I disinfect my home. I’m a busy work-from-home mom, so I like to dedicate 1-2 rooms per day for cleaning. This also helps me so I’m not overwhelmed with trying to clean the whole house in a day. Clorox Disinfecting Wipes are so convenient when I’m cleaning my bathroom, countertops, doorknobs, etc. I love that these all-purpose cleaners disinfect multi surfaces, killing 99.9% of viruses and bacteria, when used as directed. Here is my weekly cleaning schedule below:

Monday: Bathrooms

Tuesday: Garage & Patio

Wednesday: Bedrooms

Thursday: Sunroom

Friday: Living room

Saturday: Kitchen/Dining Room

Sunday: Laundry Room

Gift Clorox Wipes to Teachers

It’s so important to show we appreciate teachers. They go above and beyond to make sure our children are learning. Teachers have been working extra hard within the last year with the transition of some students doing virtual learning and then going back to in-person learning. A great gift idea would be Clorox Wipes. I’m a former teacher and I would always love when my students would give me any type of cleaning supplies. With a classroom full of students, teachers are always disinfecting and cleaning their class. Clorox Disinfecting Wipes are Teacher’s #1 Wipe (based on TeacherLists, the leading platform for K-12 school supply lists in the US). As a way to show you appreciate your child’s teacher, you can also add a nice note along with the Clorox Disinfectant Wipes. I also love to give my children’s teacher gifts periodically throughout the school year.


I hope this blog post was helpful as we enter the back to school season! Also, be sure to check out my blog post on Back to School Guide: How to Prepare for the School Year
