Back to School Staples

The Southern Way

Here are some of the -must have- items that my kids will be sporting to school this year!

  1. Lunch Items

I love these lunchboxes! They can be monogrammed through the website I linked here and by clicking on the photo. Most binto lunchboxes fit perfectly inside. They’re washable! And match the backpacks, duffle bags and nap mats I have for my girls.

Here are the binto lunchboxes my girl’s use (come in several different colors) and the personalized, stainless steel water bottles we use! My girls have the blush color one and I bought the white one for my son!

3. Every Day Shoes

My girls wear these ALL the time, probably daily. They’re so easy to get on, match everything they own and SO affordable. I find them on Amazon! Kids shoes get so torn up and I don’t see the point in buying $50+ shoes and letting them run around in them every day. I don’t even stress about these. I throw them in the wash every couple of weeks and after a few months, if they haven’t grown out of them, I’ll replace them just so they don’t look too old.

4. Sweet notes

I always knew I’d be this mom. I just love adding these small touches to their childhood! These adorable lunch box notepads come personalized! Notepads are $16 and come with 100 notes!

5. Seersucker Backpacks

My girls have been sporting these personalized backpacks since they were born!! Overnight to grandma’s house, Sunday school, preschool, ballet etc. This brand is so high quality and washable! It will last you forever. I’ll also add the duffel bags they have to match. The duffels come in small, medium or large.

7. Bows!

Our house does NOT lack bows! My favorite place to shop bows is Bonnie Bee!

They have every color, pattern and fabric we could want. The bows are really high quality and durable. They come in all different sizes for different ages and hair lengths. I buy two of everything, so we have the option of pig tails! My 3 year old, Charlotte, wears the sailor size. My 1.5 year old, Olivia wears the midi size. You can use my code, SECRETS15 for 15% off your order!

8. Bloomers

My girls do not leave the house without bloomers (if they have a dress on! Which is often) I keep several of these adorable monogrammed bloomers in lots of different sizes to quickly grab!

9. Teacher Notes + Cute Additions

Cute back to school banner!

I love these cards! We have our teachers fill them out so that we know all her favorite things! Blessing her throughout the school year is a breeze. Plus, collecting them year after year is a great way to remember all their teachers.

Happy back to school, mamas!!
