2019 will go down as one of the most eventful summers for our little family. Big move, lost stuff, new place, settled in, second grade, new school, all the things. As much as I’m not ready to say hello to the new school year, it is upon us and I might as well revel in the joys that come along with it. And by joys I mean shopping! I shared last week why we love Walmart for back to school essentials, well today I’m sharing my favorite budget-friendly back to school clothes that we found at Walmart!

At this age, 7, it makes sense to me to find the best deals for school clothes because they almost always come home with signs from the day: marker stains, dirt from the playground, food from lunch. I went straight to Walmart.com and found a bunch of budget-friendly, cute items to add to the girls’ wardrobes.

My 7 year old prefers to pick out her own clothes and she was pleased to find many pieces that she loved. We sat down together and loaded our cart with school clothes she loved like these shorts for just $10 and this top for just $7. We also snagged a few sets of these shorts which are perfect for wearing under dresses and they are just $5 for a pair. You can’t beat $2.50 a pair for little bike shorts.

The girls have been selecting their own clothes for a while now. I learned early on that if they’re able to give their input, they are more likely to wear the items. Walmart has a great selection of budget-friendly clothing that both Peighton and I loved and they offer free fast shipping on orders over $35 + free returns. Also, if you have a Walmart nearby you can order online and pick up in the store the same day! I’m all about that kind of convenience.

Peighton and I both loved this little outfit – it is a perfect back to school outfit for her because it’s still rather warm (in the 100s) here in the California desert. It’s also worth noting that she hasn’t taken these Crocs off since we got them – we both love the peach color.

The top was a little long on her short frame so we just tied a little knot. She went wild over the embroidery on these shorts. I think they are darling.

And her eyes LIT UP over this unicorn dress. It’s made of the softest, yummiest fabric. It actually comes in a set of two dresses – the other is a striped long sleeve that she’ll wear when it cools down a bit.

Here’s our full loot for both girls and I spent just over $100. We got some great basics and some fun flair pieces too. It’s always a good day when everyone walks away happy and even better when it’s easy on the wallet.

#ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
💙
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. 💙💙
Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you everything good this Christmas and in the new year. 🎄
#ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls l #ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls love making and baking anything! We made cinnamon roll Christmas trees then decorated them with m&ms and sprinkles. I bought everything from Walmart, used canned cinnamon rolls to make them quick and easy so we could focus our energy on decorating them. Holiday memories made! How are you making memories with your family this season? @walmart http://liketk.it/34rdO #liketkit @liketoknow.it #walmart
I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t collect much but I do have a few Christmas things that I’ve been collecting over the years. These nutcrackers are one. The girls pick out a new one each year. I have a small collection little white village houses and since the first year we were married we bought a peace dove ornament from Pier 1 (Li Bien brand) - they quit selling them so this will be the first in 14 years that we don’t get one of those. What do you collect???

I really don’t love this kitchen but I’ve worked hard to make it easier on the eyes with a faux backsplash and with some mini wreaths on the cabs. Feelin’ festive. Sources for the backsplash are on the blog + @liketoknow.it 👍
