THIS is getting me in the Back-To School mood....

I don't know about you all, but I love the start of a new school year... even though it means giving up my summer lifestyle and freedom and heading back to work. 

 I get positively giddy the day class rosters get handed out, and I swoon when I walk into Target, Wal-Mart or Office Depot and see all the new school supplies. 

 However, last week, when I saw them putting out the new schools supplies in Wal-Mart after the Fourth of July, my heart didn't race...something just wasn't right! Could it be TRUE? Was my usual delight at the upcoming Back-to-School season GONE? Had I lost my Back-to-School MOJO? What was I gonna do? 

Then.....THIS arrived.!! My new personalized large utility tote from Thirty-One!!!


I love their stuff!! And this tote is perfect for holding all the stuff I lug back and forth between home and school every day.  I even think it is big enough to hold both my laptop and my new iPad!

I also got a few other things from Thirty-One that I will use in my classroom to hold/organize stuff.  Take a look....


Anyone else LOVE Thirty-One? Leave a comment below and tell me what your favorite Thirty-One item is!

  1. It's so nice to read that someone feels the same way I do. Love back-to-school even though it marks the end of my "free" time. The beginning of a new school year is so full of promise and fun! LOVE Thirty-One items! I'm about to order my own large utility tote too. (And a new thermal tote to go with it!) I'm also about to get my new tablet to use at school and starting at a new school with a pay increase and more freedom! I also love it when the school supplies go on sale! Lots of exciting things right around the corner! Am I a teacher geek, or what????

    1. Beth- Thanks for stopping by. Sounds like you have an exciting school year coming up! So far I have resisted the urge to buy any supplies...but I think that will end this weekend, lol!

    1. Lisa- Thanks for dropping by. I love my tote. I have been looking for excuses to use it! Right now it is full of books I picked up at the library!! I wanted to load it up, but they have a limit on how many they will give me. Don't they know I need to use my big tote?!?! LOL

    1. Lana- Thanks for dropping by. I am jealous you already have your roster! We don't get ours until the morning of Meet The Teacher the week before school starts! I am looping do I already know about 95% of my roster...but still would like to get a peek at it to see if I have anyone new!

  4. I also have the organizer tote in a different pattern, but I have to say that I still love my little 31 lunch tote. It makes going to lunch feel like an event!

    1. Tracey- That is my next purchase..a new lunch tote. I got one last year but with all the knew colors and patterns I think I need a new one for some variety. Promised my hubs I would slow down on the 31 purchases, though!
