All Of My Favorite Things

I can't believe we are in August and it's time to start thinking about heading back to school! Huh??? Where did the time go? 

Amy from Learning Lessons with Mrs. Labrasciano and Mary from A Classroom Full of Smiles are hosting a linky party where we get to blog about our favorite things!

Not just our favorite things… our favorite must-haves-as-a-teacher-going-back-to-school favorite things.

So basically, I get to share with you everything that I've been shopping for these last few weeks!!!  

Here are my top 5 Favorite Things!

First thing on my list that is must was a new teacher bag!!! Isn't adorable. I really love the colors. I got it from a friend that was having a Thirty-One party.  I always carry so many things to and from school that I might as well have a super cute back to do it with. Plus all the extra pockets on the side are perfect for all the teacher things we need… like markers, pens, lip gloss!

This picture is proof that I am little obsessed with organization and the need to match!!! Ok….so I need a planner right... except I haven't decided on what color scheme I want to have this coming year. Do I want it to match my bag Favorite Things #1 Bag? Or would that be too matchy-matchy? So I couldn't decide while standing in the Target aisle. So what I do? Did you guess already? Yup, I buy all of them. Doesn't everybody? 

I know, I only need one…but I can't decide! Maybe you all could help me… which would you pick?

#3!!!! Fashion… actually I could take a up all the Favorite Things with cloths and jewelry!!! As a teacher, comfy shoes are a must. Let me repeat that… comfy shoes are a must. But the best is when you can find CUTE comfy shoes…. and that is just what I did! Cole Haan teamed up with Nike and created thsese shoes.  Have you ever worn Nike Free shoes? They can bend and are so comfortable. Well…. that is exactly what they did with these shoes. I am smiling as I type this because I just know my feet are going to be in heaven. 

 I know this JBL speaker looks like a huge boom box but it's about the size of a soda can. And it's wireless. And it's bluetooth. What does that mean? I can play music for my class at anytime and right from my phone! No more wires, no more having to run across the room to start the music. I just hit play right from phone! Love it!

Last but not least are my favorite markers! Making posters  with these vibrant colors is so much better! Not sure the kids notice but I love them. And all my posters look so colorful and cute… and they smell nice too!

Now here is the deal… all this Back to School shopping wasn't free! I spent a pretty penny…shhh don't tell my hubby.
