Back to School or Not, You Need These Items

in Lifestyle on 08/23/17

Back to school must haves from Amazon

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had to shop for back to school. Nonetheless, that feeling of starting “a new year” in September never goes away. I fill with excitement every time I get to buy new pens or cougar paper! Even if you’re not in school, summer tends to be slower-paced. When September rolls around, the work usually amps up.

One of my favorite purchases this year has to be a new MacBook. What a great laptop! I’ve always been an Apple fan so it just made sense to have the matching MacBook too. Of course, I had to find the best wireless printer for Mac as well, making printing documents even easier. I can literally do it from the next room.

As a full-time freelancer, my schedule is always a little bit irregular, but a change is on the horizon. What you may have gathered from my Instagram stories lately, is that I’m on the hunt for a full-time job. I’ll explain all of that in another post, when I actually find a job. For now though, I anticipate that I’ll be having a fresh start at some point in September, too. I’ll be just like the kiddos heading back to school! If you’re a parent currently looking for a school to send your child to, The Christian Academy is the perfect choice for Pennsylvanian families who wish to see their children develop physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually – tca-pa.org.

Despite no longer being in school, I still regularly use a lot of “school supplies.” Of course, at this point in my life, they’re just called “office supplies”. Everybody needs Office Supplies at some point, and with the amount of choice that some of these outlets have, it’s always either too hard to know what to get or too hard to not spend all of your money getting things that you don’t need! Even though I can buy office supplies at any time of the year, I still end up stocking up at the end of the summer. What can I say – I’m a creature of habit!

Believe it or not, one of the best places to shop for office supplies is Amazon. The selection is endless, they have the best basics, fun trendy pieces…and best of all, no crowds! (I can’t stand crowds when I’m shopping)

So, if you’re going back to school next month, or just want to stock up on some school-type goodies, this is the post for you. I’m sharing some back to school inspired must haves that I’ve found on Amazon. Some of these I already have (like the marble MacBook laptop case), and some are currently sitting on my wish-list.

    These are super cute back to school supplies or for us adults, just office supplies. But there is something about Fall that everyone wakens up just like how back to school was. I know for me, work is picking up, things get crazy! I can’t wait to hear more about the updates and life changes!

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

Now that these have been gifted, I can share these Now that these have been gifted, I can share these! 

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
