We find ourselves in yet another year of back to school hustle and bustle. I have rounded up our best back to school supplies and sharing them below (along with a coupon code as well). From pens, to blue light glasses, to afternoon snacks I’ve got you covered to make this season a little less hectic.

Best Back to School Supplies:

Zenni Optical

There is no doubt that technology is important to our children’s education. It isn’t going anywhere so we might as well embrace it while setting limitations and rules. As a work from home momma, I know that work starts once the kids go to bed which means I am staring at a computer until the wee hours of the morning. Then I crawl up to bed and lay there exhausted yet unable to fall asleep. What gives?

Well, it is the blue light (and the endless to-do list) keeping me awake. Our kid’s eyes are even more sensitive to blue light than we are. Zenni Optical will allow you those quiet nights you need by protecting your kid’s eyes from TV and handheld devices. If your kids are like mine, they like to wear these glasses even when they aren’t watching TV. These kids glasses are fashionable and come in so many colors and shapes, what’s not to love? Zenni Optical also carries a huge inventory of prescription kids glasses at an affordable price for all ages. Check out HERE for more information on their kid’s glasses.

Scissors from Westcott

With back to school in full force, I am not wanting to be caught off guard at the beginning without all my supplies. So I loaded up on Scissors from Westcott knowing that we would have a ton of projects and fun activities to do. Nothing is worse than grabbing a pair of scissors and basically tearing the paper to get them to cut. Scissors from Westcott have been nicknamed “Worlds Favorite Scissors” and it’s with good reason. With a lifetime warranty and specially coated blades and handles its no wonder, they will stand the test of glue and adhesives better than the others.

BLOT

School and work should be fun right? Well, what makes school more fun is when you get to use fun and exciting pens and pencils. Instantly your work becomes a piece of art and something to be proud of. Honestly, I would buy these for my kids and then when they weren’t looking I would take them to my office. The gel coloring pens write so smooth with such vibrant colors that I have a feeling I’ll be redoing my planner in color coordination. Here are just a couple of the amazing products that BLOT has to offer.

Ombre Pastel Gel Pens:Ombre colors blend and change as you hit the point where the different ink colors meet

OshKosh B’gosh

As a girl, mom shopping for the best back to school supplies clothing was at the top of my list for things I couldn’t wait for when summer was coming to an end. I have such fond memories of shopping with my mom and being able to do this with my girls was equally as fun.

With an assortment of clothing for boys and girls sizes, 3M-14 to OshKosh B’gosh is always a favorite. With two girls the ability to pass down clothing is a must. But I also want trendy yet classic clothing that will stand the test of time. And OshKosh B’gosh is just that. I can take my girls in there and let them loose knowing they will be able to mix and match.

Snip-Its

Motherhood changed for the better the day my girls could brush and “style” their own hair. They can get the tangles out from the night before, then styling in AM is a breeze. Which is always been such a battle, right? Unlike adult hair, kids hair has a mind of its own. And it needs some help in being able to go in the right direction. Thankfully Snip-Its has created two styling products we need in our life.

Morning Miracle Mousse Styling Spray – Non-aerosol and alcohol-free, styling tool providing conditioning and volumizing properties of a mousse, with the convenience and versatility of a spray gel. The kid-friendly formula contains special ingredients that help protect hair and scalp from the damaging rays of the sun.
Wacky Wax Medium Hold Pomade – Super fun and easy-to-use. This flexible alternative to gels gives a soft feel and all-day hold.

Using the Morning Miracle Mousse Styling Spray at night after a shower makes the morning styling with Wacky Wax Medium Hold Pomade a breeze. The best part, there is no sticky feeling and it smells amazing.

Sprout Organic CurlzTM or Crispy Chews

After a long day at school its time to relax and refuel. There isn’t a doctor around that will disagree that our kids need more fruits/veggies. Unfortunately, kids can be picky little eaters so we have to trick them. Sprouts does amazing at this with their Curlz and Crispy Chews.
