Back to school season is here...which means fresh notebooks, new routines, and somehow needing 47 things you swear you just bought last year. I pulled together some of my favorite finds to make school days a little easier, whether you homeschool, send the kids off each morning, teach a classroom, or have one of those grown college babies like I do.

If you get way too excited over your fandoms (same), then this list is for you! Fandoms are like built-in friend groups where everyone just gets us, whether we’re debating who should’ve survived on The Walking Dead, rewatching Gilmore Girls for the fifteenth fall in a row, or yelling at the TV during Survivor tribal council. There’s something comforting about being part of a world where everyone speaks the same language of quotes. Here are some of my fandoms (and some my family love). I'd love hearing about your fandoms too.

Alright, if fall has to come (ugh), at least I’ve found a few things that make it more bearable. Boots that make me swoon, a bracelet that’s totally calling my name, and yes, even jorts for the cooler weather, because why not? These are the things that are on my radar right now. How many Mary Janes is too many, though? *asking for myself

I kept spotting these charms and thought…let’s round them up. Some are cute. Some are strange. Some are oddly elegant. But they’re all interesting enough to deserve a little spotlight. Bag charms are everywhere right now; looped on totes, clipped to diaper bags, even hanging from belt loops like it’s 2004 again. They’re fun and easy to swap out. If you’re the type who likes your stuff to feel a little more you, this is one way to do it without changing your whole outfit. Or your whole bag. Just one clip and suddenly it’s got personality.

These are the everyday things I have on Amazon Subscribe & Save. The products that show up JUST when I need them (usually right before someone yells “We’re out of toilet paper!”). This list is full of my tried and tested faves. When I love a product I tend to be brand loyal so you will see the same things from month to month for our large family. BUT, I also love to try new products so come back at the beginning of every month to see what treasures I've found.Got a favorite I should try? I’m always looking for new wins that’ll save me a trip to the store (and money!!)
