Yep, it was a big day in our household. Lainey headed off to kindergarten, and you can see by her face she was VERY excited!

I used our free first day of school printable signs for this picture (we've got every grade through high school).

Jen at Evanssays, be sweet created this adorable school bus cake pop tutorial as a great back to school treat. What kids wouldn't want to sink their into this as they come off the bus that first day?

What a lovely back to school alphabet printables collection from Anne at URinvited! I love the way it makes the world seem so small and connected. So sweet...

The collection includes: party circles, a "back to school" banner, tented cards, welcome sign, thank you tags, cupcake wrappers, and lunchtime notes.

Now that we're thinking about back to school at our house, I wanted to make something easy that the whole family would enjoy (including my daughter who is a very picky eater).  These take no time, are absolutely delicious, would work great at a party or as part of a yummy breakfast, and are just three ingredients. Also, while they taste great right out of the oven, they're still good and crispy the next day!

More "back to school" coming your way with this collection of FREE Back to School printables designed by Yulia at Sarah Hope Designs. I've always loved school and this set makes me wish I could go back. :)

The collection includes an 8x10 welcome sign, cupcake toppers, water bottle labels, food/straw flags, welcome tags, book labels, and a "back to school" banner.

I'm always looking for new variations on cake pops, so when I saw these donut hole apple pops at Christina S's Back to School Dinner, I needed to know how she made them.

Turns out they're quite quick to make (a nice alternative when you're in a rush), and look how much they add to a back to school celebration like Christina's.

My friends Rebecca and Shannon from Fresh Chick Design Studio sent me these FREE back to school labels they designed and I had to post them!
How cute would it be to send your kids off to school with their books and lunches labelled like this?

It's getting to be that back to school time of year again. Can you believe how fast the summer has gone?

If you're in the mood to celebrate, we've got these FREE back to school printables for you, designed by Emily from Magnolia Creative Co.
