whew! School is back in full swing. I love the begininng of school. It is always such a fun time. The smell of new clothes and freshly sharpened pencils just really gets me good!
What I don’t love though is the germs that come with starting up school again! No fun.
All I can say is “Thank goodness for Clorox Wipes!!” I use Clorox wipes on everything! If your a parent of one or many you know these wipes come in handy. I also love using them to do quick wipe downs of the bath room during the week. Such a time saver, this makes my weekly cleaning so much easier.

To start the school year off right the cool people Daily Buzz Moms Tastemaker program sent me a little package. It included a fun new Brita water bottle. I’m so excited about this new product. Ava and I literally fought over who got to use it first. We will be hitting up target for another one asap! I love that you can have fresh filtered water no matter where you are. I can send it to school with Ava and know she will have good water. Or I can pack one with me to work and not worry about lugging around plastic water bottles everywhere. It’s great for your wallet and the environment. The only downer about this is you have have to squeeze very firmly to get the water out. I hope it loosens up a bit.

I also recieved these fun salad on the go Ziploc containers. This makes packing salads for lunch so much easier! Now, there is no excuse not to get our veggies in at the noon hour. I do have one complaint and that is how flimsy the dressing container is. It’s not something that would last more than a couple uses. At least in my house hold, we are tough on things!

I know this sounds like such an advertisement, but I wanted to share these products with you because they really are brands that are found in my home!

I hope your school year is off to a great and healthy start. I’ll be back soon! Soup and fall baking season is here!!!! woot woot.

So want to try that water bottle!!
Oh, I’d love to try the water bottle, too. I didn’t know Britta made one. It would be super handy when traveling, though. I’ll have to check them out next time I’m at Target!
