Have your kids started school yet? Ours have bee Have your kids started school yet? 

Ours have been back for several weeks and parents are allowed to visit for lunch. 

I’m a busy mom in her mid- forties. This is a current quick routine for me when getting ready.  I’m not a hair or beauty expert but love trying different products to see what works best - and because it’s fun!! 

When you don’t have a lot of time to get ready but want to feel cute or pulled together it sometimes only takes a few products to make a difference. 

If you’re interested in a detailed description of the products/items used in the video with colors or sizing etc., you can click the link in my profile for my LTK shop or comment “DEETS” below and I’ll send the info directly to you.

🎒 BACKPACKS: Let’s talk backpacks! Last year’s favorite for my daughter (size L) is back in action with a delightful flower pattern that’s still rocking the school scene! 🌸 This year, my son’s in on the game too, sporting a size XL with an extra zippered zone and an outer pouch. (Pssst, we started with a Large but the XL was just right!) Lots of colors & patterns available!

🎒 Matching backpacks and lunchbox/water bottle combos? Oh, yes! 🥪🎉 Plus, there’s an abundance of other lunch and school supplies that make getting everything together a breeze.

These backpacks? They’re like a comfy hug for your kiddos! Sturdy, padded straps, and they’re built to last. 💪 So no worries about hauling those books and goodies.

🥪 LUNCH SUPPLIES: Time to re-use and refresh! Last year’s treasures are getting a second round, and we’ve added some snazzy new gear for this school year. 🥤
Did I mention the adorable lunchbox notes? They’re like a smile in a lunchbox! 💌 One side has a cute saying, the other’s blank for your personalized messages. 🖊️

🥪 LUNCH BOXES: These lunchboxes have plenty of space and lots of compartments, including a spot specially reserved for that trusty water bottle – the spill-proof superstar that makes hydration a breeze for your little ones. 💧

Want a lunch box with an ice pack? We went for that option that included one and it’s been a game-changer!

Get ready to conquer the back-to-school hustle with gear that’s got your back! Let’s make this year amazing, moms!

☀️ Last-minute summer plans led us to an amazi ☀️ Last-minute summer plans led us to an amazing adventure at @colorfactoryco for one more family escapade before the school bell rings! 🎨 

 💦 Besides swimming, there’s not much to do in TX right now - especially with the temperature soaring above 100 degrees!

 🌈 So this spontaneous family adventure to Color Factory was the perfect way to beat the heat and have some fun! It’s an indoor wonderland that’s fun for kids & adults as well as a great place for entertaining out-of-town guests. 

🍬It’s like stepping into Willy Wonka’s world, starting off with a sweet treat and then finding delightful surprises around every twist and turn! 

📸 We laughed, we explored, and made so many memories! Cameras captured our joy in every room, delivering instant snaps to our phones. No need to be the designated photographer! 📷📱

🎉 From interactive fun to self-guided wonder, Color Factory has it all. Guides in each room added an extra splash of magic to our vibrant journey. 🎈🌟

Besides this Color Factory in Houston there’s also one in Chicago & NYC.

🌙 The moonlit magic and confetti rooms stole our hearts – but can’t pick a favorite! ✨

👀 Already counting down to our next visit! 🗓️ Don’t miss out – I HIGHLY recommend experiencing the wonder that is Color Factory.

Have you been yet? If so, spill the beans – which room gets YOUR vote? 🎉🎨

My 80’s Barbie playing days dream come true! 💕

Special thanks to @shopatmarketstreet for keeping these fun  @barbiethemovie photo ops up a few more days! 

The only thing that would’ve made it more complete would’ve been a pic in a pink Barbie Corvette;) 

So glad my Ken could join me - I always did prefer those dark haired Kens:)😉
