It happened, mamas & dadas! Back to school is here, today, after a long and crazy year filled with all the emotions, a pandemic and gosh, so much more.
How are you feeling about it? I am honestly very excited to see them back to a somehow normal start of the year, seeing their friends, and having a much needed routine after a long break at home. This day is a sweet & sour one, excited to see them achieving a brand new journey they are writing, but so sad that in a blink of an eye, it happens SO dang fast.
Remember our zero waste back to school essentials list from last year? This year, I put together a fun one in 3 main categories: essential tees/shoes, fun accessories (all colourful) and best backpacks options from local, Canadian and adorable shops you should know too.
Wishing you all a happy back to school season, we will be okay, pinky promise!
