Back to School Bags

Each year near the end of Summer I create Back to School Bags for each of my children. Since we homeschool I have created bags for each child to make Back to School a fun tradition and not something to dread. We no longer wait for the big yellow bus and so we often forget to take a lot of first day pictures. These Back to School bags are filled with both fun and educational items that are new and specific to each child.

We make sure to include new notebooks, folders, and school supplies in each child’s favorite colors. Eldest prefers red, Princess like blue, Big Red likes green and Lil’ Red loves orange!

It’s August and that means it’s Back to School time! Even though we homeschool back to school is still a thing at our house. We still buy school supplies and double check that each child has a lunch box and a backpack. If your child likes a particular character then making your own back to school project might just be a fun thing to do for back to school prep!

Back to School Tax-Free Weekend

July 7, 2017 By Thaleia

I know it’s just the beginning of July and you are groaning that I am bringing up Back to School, right? I know I hate the idea of the care free days of Summer coming to an end BUT I love school supplies AND saving money! Since 2016 Ohio joined the tax-free weekend band wagon so it’s time to get my list ready. I know some schools already have their Back to School supply lists already available for the “early shoppers”, lol. I am guilty of snagging great deals as soon as they start rolling out in our local stores.

Fall Jackets for Kids Under $50

The weather is beginning to cool down in the morning and as kids head off to school they may need to grab a jacket to wear. If your kids are anything like mine they may have outgrown last year’s Fall jacket! Time to buy a new one at a bargain price I say.

I looked all over Amazon for fashionable Fall jackets for kids under $50 so you can pick up a great new jacket at a great price! Some of these jackets are lightweight and some are a little warmer for Fall nights that are heading our way!

Type 1 Diabetes Rescue Boxes for Back to School

August 10, 2016 By Thaleia 5 Comments

As many parents are getting ready for back to school Type 1 parents are filling Type 1 Diabetes Rescue Boxes of supplies for their child to be cared for at school. If you are a parent of a newly diagnosed T1D then you are probably still learning the ropes of this crazy thing called Type 1 Diabetes!

What is a Rescue Box?

Simply put a plastic container with a lid filled with basic Type 1 Diabetes supplies as well as specific items for the student’s pump and blood glucose meter. A “Low Box” is another name for it when you add items to help bring your children’s blood glucose levels into range. Rescue Boxes hold items in case a child were to go low so anything from some juice boxes to fruit snacks to a glucagon pen.
