I know we just finished school and there is a vast ocean of time before we need to buy supplies, however- Walmart has already dropped the prices on classroom supplies.
Seriously, from Crayola markers, to pencils, Filler paper, spiral bound notebooks, highlighters, and crayons. I’ve already placed my order!
And if you aren’t sure what is going to be on your kids back to school list, here are a few things that classrooms always need:
- Glue sticks
- Erasers– the ones that go on the end of pencils are always a hit with my kids. The large pink ones usually end up getting stabbed with pencils and not used as erasers. I have no idea why.
- Pencils- Ticonderoga are the best pencils. They cost a little more, but they last longer and don’t break as easily (in my experience).
- Tissues
- Disinfecting wipes- The first month back at school is peak illness time. We are all getting to know each other and new germs are popping up left and right.
- Whiteboard markers– In most classrooms these days, the kids each have their own whiteboards (in place of scratch paper), so whiteboard markers are a must.

I’m recovering from surgery and trying to take it slow. As I recover, I’ll be posting more.
Today marks the first day of summer break for my kiddos. I am usually a lot more prepared and would have posted this on the blog already, but… Life happens.
One of the kid’s favorite summer activities is to hit up the local theater for a showing of one of their favorite movies.
As you are all aware, 
Summer break from school means summer reading programs from the local library systems, plus a few other places.
The City of San Diego Library system program has published its prizes this year, and lemme tell you, it’s pretty amazing.
I will be having surgery next month, for the first time since I’ve had kids, and that’s 13 years.
