best wishes for a wonderful weekend!

**friday favorites**
technically summer is not over until september 22 but since sam is back in school and labor day is behind us, i am ready to admit that it is time to move on and embrace fall. in honor of back to school and the wonderful smell that goes along with a batch of freshly sharpened pencils, i am focusing on my love of school supplies, office products and the back to school spirit.
where do i begin with the container store? i love this place. yes, i know it is silly to think that a few containers are going to solve many problems but they certainly clean things up! just put things in a container and you will feel better....instantly! or, at least all of your stuff will be contained!
just take a look at this art supply closet. i am drooling! i know it would last for about ten seconds in the real world but it is fun to pretend!
see jane work is a great website if you are a fan of office supplies. everything about the website is clean and simple. i love these days of the week clips because i have a habit of making piles. i know one of the tips to being organized is to only touch an item once and i do my best but sometimes a 17-month old requires a bit of attention!

paper source is my all time favorite store for paper goods. this is my idea of heaven - a store full of paper products. i love red, i love containers and who can resist a little suitcase with polka dots? there is something so sweet about a brand new box of crayons. the possibilities are endless!

avoid using a plastic bottle in your lunch box by using a reusable container such as a klean kanteen. these bottles are dishwasher friendly, bpa-free and eco-friendly. perfect for a lunch box!
if i buy rain boots for the kids will the rain come? we are in a bit of a dry spell here in the bay area.
you can buy these in pink, red or yellow at giggle.
