Homeschool/Teacher Tote Bag I found the cutest te Homeschool/Teacher Tote Bag

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. We do homeschool at the library a couple days out the week so I like to have everything organized in my tote bag. I also found the prettiest teacher planner that I’ll be using this school year. Fun fact: I’m a former teacher, Masters degree in education, and very passionate about helping children learn! If you have any homeschool questions, I’m your girl!

Walmart has been my bestie lately! I racked up on these summer outfits. I intentionally bought outfits that would be easy to transition into the fall season. I know we still have a lot more hot summer days, but I’m prepping for the fall season now!  This is proof that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a nice wardrobe. I payed full price on all these outfits but everything is on sale right now.

Back to School Self-Care Basket Our homeschool y Back to School Self-Care Basket 

Our homeschool year is right around the corner. My sweet girl will be a middle schooler so I decided to make her a back-to-school basket filled with her favorite skin care and self care products. I’m really enjoying the pre teen stage with my girl and good skin care has been a big focus. We started using the La Roche Posay products and it works well and gentle on my girls skins.

Let’s get this day started! After having baby nu Let’s get this day started! 

After having baby number 3, my health has been a top priority. My morning routine consists of drinking Swanson’s Electrolyte Hydration Mix to stay hydrated and a stroller walk outside to get my body moving! A simple routine that makes a big difference. My days are busy especially during the summer. Adding @swansonvitamins to my routine has been so helpful with me feeling my best. I’m at the age where I get really excited about good quality vitamins.

Now in the perfect time to give your wellness routine a refresh!

Baby boy is almost ready to start eating his first foods. I found this 3-in-1 high chair from Baby Delight that’s perfect. It’s easy to clean, adjustable to grow with baby and matches my home aesthetic. As baby boy grows, I love that the high chair can convert to a booster seat and folds neatly for travel or storage.

Excited to start introducing baby boy to new foods in his high chair. I’ve linked my favorite baby essentials on my LTK!

I just upgraded my cookware to this beautiful 7 piece set from @onequince. This nontoxic ceramic cookware set has made cooking a lot easier. After cooking the cleanup is so quick because it’s nonstick! I also love that the lid has a built-in strainer so you can easily drain pasta.
