Hey there friends! I hope you all are doing well? If you are like most families across America you are dealing with a lot when it comes to back to school. We are facing things we never dreamed we would see in our lifetimes and it's scary. Our school year has been delayed and we are being offered options when it comes to returning. 1) In-person learning - this will be face to face learning with adaptive measures. 2) Distance learning - This will be where you stay home but still follow the curriculum that is being done at the normal school from home. The child will also be allowed to participate in normal school sports activities. 3) Home school - This is where you will not following the schools' mandates and will learn via a 3rd party.

I think we can all agree that no matter what your family decides, we are all trying to do what is best for our families. Covid-19 has effected the world and the rules seem to be changing from week to week. This school year we will have a child attending a vocational school, high school, and middle school. The kids back to school list will very this year because of what they have going on. This is a list of some things we came up with as must-haves for back to school.

Shugar Soapworks



Looking for a better soap? We have found the perfect one for you that is an affordable, easily available natural soap, made in the USA, from a socially responsible company. I'm willing to admit I have seen this at my local Dollar Tree and passed buy it many times and not picked it up.

The all-natural Shugar soaps are made in the USA and are sold at nationwide value retailers like Dollar Tree. In addition to their low cost and large size, Shugar soaps are renowned for their rich, creamy lathers and invigorating aromas that last throughout the life of each bar. These soaps gently cleanse your skin leaving it with an invigorating, refreshing, and uplifting feeling. And, each soap variety is presented in eco-friendly attractive designer boxes.

In addition, Shugar Soapworks, a family business, is dedicated to supporting women and our communities. We regularly donate soap to help those in need, and we celebrate women and their stories through the Strong Women Soft Hands section of our website and online.

ROKiT iO Pro 3D Phone


When our oldest son started middle school we decided it was important to have a phone to stay in contact. He was attending lots of school activities and spending lots of time away from home with his friends as most teenagers do. We wanted to make sure he could get in touch with us and we could also get in touch with him. We also know phones can cost a ridiculous amount of money. I would like to introduce you all to the ROKiT iO Pro 3D Phone at only $149.99 (price may vary). Give the only smartphone to offer glasses-free 3D technology! Our ROKiT iO Pro 3D phone is an unlocked 3D smartphone that features a number of benefits and services including ROKiT Talk free for six months - an international Wi-Fi calling app that gives loved ones the ability to call both mobiles and landlines for free to any number in the U.S. and 60 different countries. What makes ROKiT Talk different from its competitors is that it can be used to connect to landlines and not just mobile phones. Additionally, the ROKiT Phone arrives with ROKiT FLiX 3D, and Telemedicine also FREE for six months. With Telemedicine, users can connect with a doctor from the comfort of his/her own home, no worrying about going out to a busy doctor’s office, hospital or urgent care and if your loved one needs a prescription, it can be sent directly to the pharmacy of their choice with up to 80% in savings.

This year the kids will NOT have access to a water fountain but they will be allowed to bring refillable water bottles to keep in their book bags or desk. They will be allowed to fill these at newly installed water stations in the school as needed. Bindle Bottle can accommodate any student, whether they are keeping hydrated with some ice-cold water while storing some extra snacks, or keeping track of their keys and cash while sipping on some coffee before the first class of the day. Bindle Bottle keeps students hydrated and organized for class and everyday adventures outside of school. All Bindle Bottle’s slide easily into any backpack and our Bindle Slim fits comfortably into cupholders and water bottle carriage on bicycles.
