20 Must Have Back-to-School Items

The early sunset provides us a sign that those beautiful endless summer nights are slowly coming to an end. The sun filled days with mornings that allow you to sleep in slightly later that usual with a calendar of fun filled beach days are becoming nothing but a memory. The meaning behind all of this is that with the fall season approaching us, you might start to think about getting your hands on a pumpkin spice latte, picking up some new boots, or a new scarf. The reality of actually is that the only season we should be planning for is back-to-school season that has quickly arrived once again.

The thought of planning and preparing for the new back-to-school season should not be filled with awful thoughts of days filled with back to back classes or endless papers with immediate deadlines. It’s a new season or a fresh new start to an amazing year filled with obstacles to prepare you for your future.

Create a list of the must-haves that will keep your tasks for the year organized. Allow yourself to pick up motivating items that reflect your personality and make you smile each day that you use them, reminding you on the positives of your journey.

Here are my top 20 must have back-to-school items:

They say flowers, allow your home and life to bloom with new things. Here is a quick DIY with a little St. Patrick’s Day theme.

1. I prepare my flowers by cutting the bottom tips and remove the leaves.
2. I then create a mock sample of what I want the flower bouquet to look like, I remove it, and save it on the side.
3. I chose to use General Mills Lucky Charms for this arrangement.
4. I place plastic wrap on the top of the small vase to help pour the lucky charms only into the large vase.
5. Once I completed pouring the lucky charms into the large vase, I then place my premade bouquet into the base and add water and flower food.
6. I then arrange the flowers with a bit of love, and then they’re all set.
