Cute School Supplies for Adults
When I was a kid, my favorite part of the whole year was back-to-school shopping. Some kids loved summer break, others were all about Christmas, but me? Late summer all the way. It wasn’t about the clothes either. I was 100% all about the new notebooks, trapper keepers, crayons and pencils. I still am!
Why do kids get to have all the fun? You know what? They don’t. Being an adult is even cooler because I can buy all the supplies I want with no teachers to say what I can’t and can’t have or mom to argue with me over the practicality of a certain item (love you mom!).
