Hi Reader,

I hope you're doing well.

I can't believe it's already mid-August. Wow. Where does the time go?! Ok, that's a rhetorical question, but just crazy it's almost back-to-school time.

I realize that for some of you, your kids may already be back in school if they're school age. I hope it's going well if they are.

Our kids don't start online school until the first week in September, so we still have a bit of time left. There are things we need to get set up before then, prepping for the school year, and again once we get their supplies delivered.

Here are some links that should help you get prepared for the school year.

These are our favorites, including new Acer laptops that work much better than the Lenovos we had before. Many other favs here as well.

Use it as a digital PDF or print it and put it in a binder.

I use this every year on my iPad with the Goodnotes App.

Have a great week!

I'm also on Teachers Pay Teachers! Unfortunately, they don't have universal coupon codes (yet!), and only allow things related to teaching, but a LOT of my products are over there if you'd prefer to shop on TPT.

. Hi Reader, I hope your week is going well so far! Sorry I didn't email last week and am a bit late today. I'm guessing no one keeps track, but I wanted to apologize anyway. Last week, one of my twins ended up in Urgent Care on Monday Morning due to a big, deep owie that needed 3 stitches. I'll spare you the details and photos, but it was rough and meant he couldn't finish week 2 of swimming lessons last week with his brothers, which derailed some plans. Luckily, he's healing well and will...

It's our one vacation of the year, and honestly, looking forward to it really helped me through the loss of my mom, etc. BUT...it fell flat. It was one thing after another. We ended up booking 9 days instead of the usual week that we do, because this place we rented was new to us and through Airbnb we had to do 9 days for some reason. That ended up being a good thing though,...

Top essentials for a family beach day plus toddler and baby ideas

. Hi Reader, I hope your week is going well so far! Quick update: Last week, I emailed about lead in Tom's of Maine toothpaste. We got the results back from our kids' blood tests, and thankfully, they don't have lead poisoning, though they'd been using that toothpaste all their lives. We LOVE going to the beach, how about you? We'll be spending a lot of time at the beach this month so I thought I'd share these beach favs blog posts with you, full of our tried and true favorites.
