Back to School Survival necessities! #HPCreate + Giveaway!

IT’S SCHOOL TIME!

I’m sure that as a parent this time of year brings you a mixture of emotions.  A touch of sadness to see your little ones growing up so quickly. Pride that your little ones are growing up so quickly.  Anxiety about how your children will do at school all day without.  Joy that your children will be at school all day without you. LOL

No matter their ages, and no matter how we feel about the start of a new school year, we all want our kids to return to school happy and prepared to succeed.

It is in that spirit that HP and Snapfish have created a “School is in Session” board!  They have some of the cutest (well, “coolest” if your kids are too old for “cute”) ideas for school.

I’m a sucker for cute lunchboxes and they have the cutest personalized lunch box that I totally want to get for Big Brother!

I plan on doing “learning time” with Little Brother at home and these FREE (how cool is that!) printable Animal Alphabet Letter Cards are too cute!

 I found this on their Kids Corner board.  I thought this would be the perfect end of the year project to preserve Big Brother’s best artwork!

In keeping with the back to school theme I decided to make my own back to school pinterest board! I’m not all that artsy so I love the ideas that are on the HP Create board from HP and Snapfish!  I did, however, add a couple things from my own home that I consider school necessities.

Those who homeschool or like to supplement learning at home, you know it can be difficult to find a way to organize all your supplies. We found this inexpensive upright cabinet at IKEA. (We haven’t unpacked all our boxes, hence the emptiness of the cabinet). It is the perfect size for storing papers, supplies, workbooks, games, and other learning toys.

And because everyone, moms, dads, kids, and college students alike could use a good dry erase/pin board…
