Well Back to School looks a bit different this year doesn’t it?!?! Guys I’m hoping that in a few years we’ll look back on this year and think was just a blip on the radar. It feels loooong and hard now but if we just keep putting one foot in front of the other, we’ll make it through. That’s what I’m telling myself at least. Ha!

Back to Back to School. Because a lot of things will be different as school starts, I’m making a big deal out of some small things for my kids. Every year I let my kids pick out their backpack, school supplies and a new water bottle. This year these freedoms they have are especially important because it’s one of very few things they can control. Will I like the Super Mario backpack the boys will pick? Doubtful, but you know what, doesn’t matter. Let them live!

When it comes to water bottles I will set one parameter: must be a Contigo® water bottle. They won’t mind at all because they are familiar with them and love them. It is not lost on either of us that the prints are great too!
