Ask Kate: What is a hair bond?

Well, the first week of school is in the books! I have underestimated how much mental energy I spent thinking about the boys when they were gone all day! I am so used to having them home, and even though I love their school and know they are happy, I missed them terribly! It felt like an extremely productive work week, personally, and that is always a gratifying feeling!

I shared a post recently about how we were prepping for school with some systems and routines, you can read it here.

I’m still hearing from people that the White T-Shirt Contest post was helpful, and I love that! I’m curious: what would you like to see next? V-neck t-shirts? Straight Leg Denim?

Did you know I have an Amazon Storefront where I’ve compiled my favorite things from Amazon? From home favorites (like the organizational bins I use in my pantry) to clothing purchases I love. You can check out my picks by clicking here!

My boys have outgrown some of our kid dishes so I found a melamine dish set on Amazon that has exactly what I need for the kids! 4 bowls, 4 large plates, and 4 small plates. They are melamine so they won’t easily break, and dishwasher safe as well.

I tried this dress on when it arrived in the mail this week. My first instinct was not love as the shoulders were a bit puffier in real life than displayed on the website, but after sharing it on Instagram I’ve been influenced to give it another try.

And here are a few things I mentioned on Instagram Stories recently that you may have missed:

Laneige lip sleeping mask – the best!

Anti-Slide pads for mules – very helpful for keeping your foot in the mule.

Flare/Bootcut Jeans

Shani Darden Retinol Reform

Favorite Jean Jacket – I’ve had mine for many years and it just gets better with age.

Faux Boxwood Spiral Plants

Planters from Home Depot

Hair Dressers Invisible Oil Soft Texture Finishing Spray from bumble and bumble – A really nice texture spray that adds definition without stiff hold.

Black Jeans

White V-Neck Tee

Brownie Knife – An essential for cutting baked treats (from brownies to banana bread) out of metal pans without cutting the metal.
