Back to School Giveaway

Its time for a treat!

Im moving towards September kicking and screaming. Ive been moving towards September kicking and screaming ever since I realized that the first day of school is completely bunk. On the first day of school, my mind was always a mishmash of Which pair of overalls am I going to wear? Where is my dang locker? Im really not fit for this AP Biology class! Someone tell me why all my girlfriends are making out with boys this year! I cant go out tonight,Im watching X-Files alone in the dark. Seriously, its cool.

I was a late bloomer. I got cooler in my early thirties (um this year). By cooler I mean that Ill wear slippers at the grocery store if I dang-well want to.

Thank goodness my school days are over. Theres still something about September that gives me the jitters. The tides are changing to Fall. Lets work with the change. Lets treat ourselves.

I want to send you a box of some of my favorite things.

I wrote a cookbook and I totally want you to have it! The Joy the Baker Cookbook is in the gift box!

Were going to need some actual school supplies: fancy pencils, clever and colorful Washi Tape, a planner for your plans, hello hello bookmark tabs, and a capsule letter.

Oh! And Mentos. Yea

We also need to be clever cute.

Im obsessed with red and pink nail polish fingers. They know how to work, be playful, and chic. Ps. I know nothing about being chic. Im BS-ingyou.

Straws too! Were still on this paper straw bandwagon, and I want you to have some.
