Journals, paper, pens, markers, pencils, pens... lots and lots of pens.

I have to curb it a bit now because my kids want them too, but when it is time to go "back to school" shopping we looooooove it.

The kids love getting paper gear and I can't figure out if its because they truly love it, because they are just copying mama, or if its because I won't say no.

"Mom, I want this $25 pencil box for school."

Me: "Yes!"

I also get giddy when I go to events that have booths and such and they are giving away stuff like pens, that have highlighters attached, and maybe even some post it notes right in there... Silly, but the stuff gets me to the booths.
