Good morning! Although our school has been back to the grind for almost three weeks now, many kiddos are packing off to school for their first day this morning. Whether you are a student, teacher, or just love a good excuse to purchase new supplies and redecorate, this time of year is full of office and school inspiration. I love Pinterest so much. I use it for inspiration for so many things. Today, I wanted to share a few images that have left me inspired for the new school year!

10 Inspiring Home Offices via Harper’s Bazaar. Each image is prettier than the last.

2. Back to School Gift Jar via Oh Happy Day. Imagine a teacher’s delight at seeing this beauty come across their desk. Or really anyone for that matter!

3. DIY Folder Organizer via Sugar and Cloth. Ok, I cheated on this one–I actually spotted this one on my other source for inspiration, Instagram. Find out how to make this amazing organizer from a $6 dish organizer here. Talk about magic!

4. Good Advice Wall via My Attic. It is my goal this year to fill my classroom and my house with inspiring messages. Sometimes a quick reminder is all you need to stay inspired!

What has you all inspired this year? For all those headed back to school or those in need of a little back to school inspiration–I will be sending lots of positive vibes your way today!

We hit the halfway mark! It seems strange now that in less time than I have already spent with the babe, he or she will be here! I hate to wish away the time, but we are so excited to meet this little one!

Ah, the sweet feeling of a brand new planner! If you’ve had your eye on this one, you better hurry and grab one because they are almost sold out!

Matt and I celebrated four years this past week. When I start thinking about how time flies, I remind myself that in October we will have been dating for ten. WHAT?!

21 weeks!

Pretty much everyday I come home from school and crawl right back into bed. This week, I decided to change it up a bit and head out for coffee with a friend. Good conversation, perky decor, and the best dang decaf latte around. Pistacia Vera might be my new after school hangout.

At now almost 22 weeks, my feet are disappearing and bending over is getting much harder–much less putting on these dang compression hose. Still, it is such a joy to look down and see the growing babe! Life is just better with you around, kiddo!

It’s been a busy, but happy couple of weeks! What about you all, what have you been up to?
Hope you have a snazzy weekend–starting to feel a little like fall out there! Eek!

Good morning!! Today, I wanted to share some back to school gift ideas! Right now school supplies are so cheap so I love to stock up and keep goodies on hand to throw together for my teaching crew! These would also make great gifts to throw in your kiddo’s backpack for a little extra surprise on their first day!

The roundup:

Or create your own goody bag!

1. You Rock Card.

2. Yoobi Erasers.

3. Yoobi Glue Sticks.

4. Dreams Notepad

5. Yellow Poppin Pen.

I love the promise of a new school year. I love the excitement that you feel meeting your new teacher or your new students; a fresh start. And what I really love is how the smell of a crisp new notebook or freshly sharpened pencil can bring all that excitement back, no matter how old you are.

Hope you all have a very happy Tuesday!
