Back to School Ideas (Pins to Admire and Inspire)

I've always looked at Labor Day as the last day of summer, even though I think it's truly September 22nd. Maybe it's because I was raised with the strict fashion guidelines of "no white shoes after Labor Day." Either way, summer is ending for many of us with kids going back to preschool and big kid school. In honor of Michaela Byrd going to meet her new preschool teachers at Orientation this morning, I thought I'd share some of the fab Back-to-School Ideas I've been Pinning like crazy.

    So many cute ideas! Love the homework kit and as the daughter and granddaughter of teacher, the teacher survival kit is awesome! I know that every teacher truly appreciates little gifts like these.

    My boys started pre-school today. This whole post is an awesome resource. Thank you for posting all these great ideas. I have been looking for "chore" or "routine" chart ideas for awhile, and I love those clipboards. Best wishes to everyone starting school.

    Oh, girl, you and me both. . . no white shoes before Easter, no white shoes after Labor Day. No ifs, ands, or buts. So funny!

    I like your back-to-school round-up! Hope preschool is great for Michaela Byrd!

    Great round up Amanda! Thanks for including my lunch box idea post! I LOVE the back to school party for moms! Now that is a brilliant idea. ; )

    Sent my baby on her first day of 1st grade today. She was almost excited to go. Can't wait to hear how her day went! Hope Michaela Byrd had a fantastic first day!

    Love the clipboards! The lunchbox ideas will come in handy to mix things up when Natalie gets bored of eating the same thing.

I love to hear your feedback! Please feel free to leave comments...just don't send me spam asking me to buy stuff off your website! I've got three kids and no money to purchase your magic weight-loss pill or bust enhancement, or whatever else you might be selling. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
