Simply Bags Review

Back to school time, is fast approaching in our household. School starts August 31st. Although my kids are not very happy about going back to school, there is one thing they do get excited about. And that is the "Back to School Shopping."

The "Back to School Shopping" also includes new backpacks. That's why my daughter and I were thrilled when we were contacted by  Simply Bags to review one of their backpacks. My daughter picked out a quilted backpack. 

She wanted it in red with black trim. - So that is what we chose,(other color combinations available)  below is a picture of her modeling her new backpack.

Information on product:

Colorful quilted back pack with polka dot trim. Soft lightweight cotton fabric, for ease in carrying to work, travel or school. Finished with contrasting polka dot trim. Fashion fabric quilted bag measures 11"W x 13"H, five inch footed bottom. Inside zip pocket and outside zipper closure. Finished with polka dot bow.

Our take on the product:

My daughter really loves all the little details on her new backpack. For one thing she loves the color of it. It really stands out with the red! She also likes the little hearts on it - at the end of each zipper. She thinks the bow on it is also super cute. Another really neat thing about it is the straps in the back. There is a zipper attaching the two straps, that way you can either zip them up and use it as one strap, or unzip for two. This is really a unique feature, I have never seen before. My daughter really likes that about it.

And she has her name monogrammed on it too, which she thinks is cool!

Recommendation:

So if you are looking for a great variety of backpacks, bags, etc., then you should check out Simply Bags. The backpack we received is great, and really quality made.

Disclaimer: I was given this backpack from Simply Bags, for the sole purpose of reviewing it. No other compensation was given and my opinions are my own.

Winner!

Aloha Friday & Follow Sites

An Island Life hosts this meme. Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

My Question: How old is your refrigerator?

My Answer:  Silly question - maybe. But mine is only about 9 yrs old and it pretty much broke down the other day. Ugh! Now I have to look into getting another one that I really can't afford. I mean my mother said hers is like 25 years old! They don't make things like they used to.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just a little depressed about it.

WW #120 "Field Trip"

Back in May, my daughter missed a field trip she was supposed to go on. That is because of a knee injury and her being on crutches. My husband and I felt guilty about not letting her go, but it just wasn't possible. So ever since then, we promised her we would take her to the place where she was supposed to go.

Well we did that last week. Her class was studying ocean animals, and looking in tide pools. There was also a small science museum that was cool. Here's some pictures of our "field trip."
