This author is an immediate read/purchase for me, and I have been waiting for the library to have this one. I finished it last week, and I loved it. The long distance relationship was a little overbearing sometimes, but I loved Xaiver and Samantha's banter with one another. I also will never be able to hear “Come On, Eileen” ever the same. 

I read a post about overwhelmed kids after school recently, so I've been trying to take snacks for Owen to pick up. I love this bag because I'll throw in cheese sticks, yogurt pouches, and more to keep them cold. I feel like I need to get one for each kid at some point because they are so handy.

My friend Laura (who is a great dietitian here in town) recommended these pouches one day on her stories, and I tried them recently and love them! I know that Costco sells them, but I didn't want to commit to that large of a pack, so I found them at Walmart and Target. 

Nora already has the sniffles after being in school for a week, and a friend with a kiddo her age suggested this throat spray. I'm going to grab some on the way home today, so I'll keep you updated on how it works! 

Did you know that your iPhone has a scanner feature now on the Notes app? This post changed my life, so I hope it changes yours too especially with all the back to school things we have to keep up with!
