Back to School: Essentials to Go Back in Style

Sharing is caring!

I’ve always loved the back to school season. To me, August always meant my birthday month, seeing my friends again, and buying ALL the things! Now that I’m a Mom, I have two daughters with August birthdays and five kids that need back to school supplies. Five times the fun! I really loved shopping for all of the new items out this year. Check out this round-up of some of my favorites!

Justice Mermaid Flip Sequin Backpack

If you have girls, I know they are as obsessed with flip sequins as mine! I mean, who doesn’t love these addictive sequins? This backpack keeps everything secure while being super fun and sparkly. It can hold up to 100 pounds with sturdy construction. It has padded shoulder straps, and even has a special loop to clip some personalized keychains!

“Merci Suarez Changes Gears”: A Book on the Importance of Multigenational Family and Friendship

I help care for my 95 year old grandmother. Her mind isn’t quite as sharp as it once was, and it can be quite difficult for children, as well as adults to understand that. In this touching book, Merci, the protagonist, goes through challenges with the support of her Hispanic intergenerational family.

This book was the Winner of the 2019 Newbery Medal, awarded annually to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. It features natural and accurate use of Spanish language throughout, and is age appropriate for middle schoolers.
