Okay, so we're all settled now into a back to school or back to work routine. But are you like me, still on summer body-clock time, and feeling like "I need my pillow" every morning? Well, it may be we need something healthy and exciting to kick start our day!
Happy Friday, party lovas! Today we're rounding up our fav back to school party ideas and DIYs from the blog , to help you get organized, celebrate and make the transition a little easier, and a loads more FUN! ;)
Some of you may be already prepping for back to school, but summer's NOT over folks. And we're determined to squeeze all the sunny days and summer parties in, before Fall totally takes over... Oh, yeah! Speaking of which, I'm thinking these ice cream social printables would make a cool end of summer party, birthday bash theme or a refreshing back to school celebration . Sorry, pun intended ;)
Don't know about you, but after school snacks are one of my fave meals of the day. For me it's the time to catch up with the kiddos after a long day, and find out what they've been up to at school. So they also need to be fun. And of course healthy. And not fill them up too much so they don't eat dinner. Quite a few boxes to tick for a humble snack, huh?! So prepping is essential. And I've selected some funky recipes to help make after school snack life a breeze.

Today I'm' sharing the third of the back to school free printables - Editable School Book or Name Tags! Of course, they match the previous pencil bookmarks and pencil favor box (all editable) shared earlier this week. These book label can be used to personalize school books, homework diaries, but also lunch boxes, pencil cases, back packs, favor bags and more. And you can type in the text you want!
After I designed yesterday's freebie pencil-shaped bookmarks , I couldn't help but think the designs would make a super cute party box! My kids LOVED the box so much, and I'm thinking it's the perfect gift box for teacher gifts too (fill it with chalk, candy, pencils...), and of course a back to school party favor box!

I'll tell you a secret: I am not really keen on living out of sink with the seasons. I'm the person who used to dread seeing Halloween stuff in the shops in August. But due to the nature of my job, things have changed a little, and planning that far ahead is a necessity...Having said that, I'm never quite ready to see winter sweaters for sale in July! And certainly never ready to say goodbye to summer. Ever. But I also know that it's inevitable, and some people have no choice but to start planning for back to school now. So to make things a little easier, this week I'm sharing some back to school printables: Bookmarks, name tags and super duper cute freebies!
I know some of you are already preparing for back to school, and if lunch box food poses a dilemma, then fear not! 'Cause I have handpicked a selection of fun, healthy and totally scrumptious lunchbox recipes that are also easy to make and totally portable. The kids can totally help too in the prepping of some of these recipes, which all adds to the fun, right?! ;)
I'm an advocate for hand-made, and don't care who knows it. BUT I also don't have a lot of time and like any working mom, budget is always at the forefront of my party planning. And last year for my kid's joint Barnyard Birthday it was no different. I baked, crafted and handmade a lot of the details, including these Apple Cake Pops and mini " Farm Orchard" Centerpiece display for the pops...
I LOVE making lists and ticking them off, and it's no different when getting organized with my two little ones at home, ready to embrace the start of a new school year!! This printable Back to School checklist contains all the essentials you need to get organized, and I tried to make it really cute so the kids can get involved too!
I'll be back blogging on a regular basis beginning of September - Trying to enjoy (and work..) for the rest of my summer. But just before I leave, I thought you guys might like a few goodies! :) My dear friend and talented blog collaborator Smita from the "The Party Wall" has asked me to design a few printables for her son's Back to School Party . She's co-room mom for her son's class this year, and assigned the color orange for their table.
