Getting ready for school.

The summer is winding down. The weather is cooling off and we are getting ready for back to school at our house. Kai will be in first grade and Bella will start preschool! It's going to be a busy and exciting season for everyone.

I organized our entrance with hooks for backpacks, clip boards for homework, file folders for important papers, a calendar for important dates and added a border for the kids art work. I am excited about all the new lunch containers I have for the kids. You know that I'm crazy for bento box lunches! Each kid has four different bento style containers and new drink bottles.

Reusable water/drink containers.

Koozio aluminium water bottle, 13 oz Bobble water with filter bottle, Life Factory 13 oz glass bottle.

Goodbyn lunch containers come with stickers for decorating and a drink bottle.

(the Bobble did not come with, I purchased these at a show and they didn't have them with bottles. The three drink containers above all fit in the byn.)

I purchased the new bento on the left from World Market, the Sistema KlipIt Lunch Cube and Klipo cutlery set from the Container Store, and the lunch Thermos from Target. 

These are the bento boxes the kids had last year. They are still in good shape and I will be using them this year too.

I love this alcohol free hand sanitizer! One of these last the whole school year! I keep one in everybody's lunch box to clean their hands before and after lunch.

The lunch packing starts next week and I have lots of snacks and treats to share with you.  Enjoy the long weekend!
