5 Fun Back to School Finds to Make Your Kids Smile

It's September and kids are back in school again!  We had a great summer making lots of memories with family and friends, playing in the woods, swimming in lakes and even built a giant catapult to launch our melon rinds (I'm sure amazon is a bit confused finding surgical tubing in our order history but hey... it makes a great catapult!)

Now that our bodies and souls are sun soaked and well rested, it is wonderful to be back to school because even though the school year makes us hustle more between lots of activities, it also brings more order and routine to our days.  And yes, that's a good thing. :0)

Because I'm a strong believer that you can make ordinary days special and find happiness in the little things, I wanted to share these five fun finds to make you and your kids smile this back to school season.

A Practical Love Note to your Kids

If you like to leave little love notes in your kids' lunch box or around the house, consider giving them this practical love note! This handy eraser is perfectly school themed with a pencil writing the word "love."  It will remind them of your love during their school day and as they complete their homework.  

Cute Thank You Notes for Kids

Writing thank you notes is a great way for kids to practice writing skills and appreciating others.  These cute thank you notes are perfect after a kids birthday party or to thank a teacher.  Bonus: you can order the exact quantity you need without getting stuck with a bunch of extra's!

Gentle Reminders for Busy Kids

This smiling baby elephant stamp is perfect to write little reminders to your kids. Much more gentle than repeated nagging and hopefully more effective too as your kids receive written reminders instead of a just a verbal one. Imagine all the uses for this mighty little wooden stamp!
