Here we go again!

It is back to school time and I don't know about you, but it has the words from Mama Mia ringing in my ears... Here we go again! 

I'm beginning to feel like August is the most expensive month next to December with Christmas. How can we survive the back to school clothes, the school supplies, and let's not forget this year we added locker decor....UGHH....without going broke.
Having a middle school aged child that is always on the go, we needed an easy solution. 

Guess what?? I found it!!
I was able to save time and money and I want to share what I found with you. 

So, Payton needed a new pack pack for school, but also needed a new lunch pack. We looked everywhere and could not find two that matched or that were decent prices. We then found an amazing set on Amazon that not only had a backpack, but included a lunch pack and/or a cross body purse and a make-up bag. Not to mention that everything coordinated! So of course we ordered it and were thrilled when it arrived 2 WEEKS before it's scheduled delivery.

Okay I thought...We can do this...Backpack check ✔️

Next, yep you guessed it, I needed all the supplies to go in the cute backpack we just got. Oh the heart palpitations and panic attacks of just thinking about having to go to any of those big box stores and fight the swarms of moms and kids shopping the back to school isle!!! AUGGHHH!!!

So, I took a deep breathe and put my two year old MJ down for her morning nap, grabbed a cup of coffee and went shopping online. I was amazed at everything that I was able to find and even received "cuteness" bonus points from my middle schooler. Everything I found was either the same or lower in price comparison to the big box stores and I was able to do it all from home while the baby slept. Everything arrived as promised two days later and we loaded it up into the backpack and were ready to start the first day of school!

Thank heaven for solutions like online shopping. As a busy mom of two I can now sing that beloved song again with a skip in my step!
