Back to school faves

 Ahhh...Fall! My favorite time of the year is just around the corner! And with that comes 

Oregon Duck football games, pumpkins, cooler days, boots & knee highs and Back to School! 

I wanted to highlight some of the other things I am excited about as we enter the new season.

Sort of an "Aunt Fab's Fall Finds" if you will.

Here goes:

 My Rolling Cart ($30, Staples).

I love this thing!! I can put everything I need in it for my work day (lunch bag, lesson plans and materials, etc.) and then, just roll on into work with ease! In addition, I added a little caribeaner (a couple bucks for a pack of 3 at Storables) to hang my purse on and a cup holder ($1.79 at IKEA ) for my morning latte! This way my hands are free as I negotiate my keys into the building...

 My closet organizer ($14, Target).

I actually stole this idea from my 13 year old daughter!

She lays out her outfits for the week and it makes it so much easier to get dressed in the morning.

It has just enough shelves to plan a week's worth of outfits!

Single serve coffee maker ($44.95, Eagle Bargain Outlet).

I am so excited about this find!!!

I have been looking all summer for one to have at work but, they were $70-90 

and I didn't want to pay that much!

I came across this one at an outlet store in Portland and it was the only one like it on the shelf! 

I guess they get items that have been returned and they cannot sell in the stores so, 

they are marked down quite a bit...

Yahoo!

I even found some discounted K-cups to use in it!

54 pods for $27! What a deal!

I should be set with coffee 'til Thanksgiving break!!!

 Okay, here's another idea I got from my teenage daughter

 (from all the you tube videos she watches!)

It's a Mason Jar Salad...and it is so fun and easy to pack for lunch -- 

not to mention, super healthy!!



All you do is layer your salad makings (putting dressing on the bottom 

so the lettuce doesn't get all soggy!) and then put the lid on and pack it in your lunch box!

When you are ready to eat, turn it upside down and 

shake all the ingredients together and pour in salad bowl!

So yummy!!!

HAPPY FALL!!
