Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
Have you started your back to school shopping?
I have not bought a single item yet for my daughter. The school district here is not planning on sending out the supply list until ONE week before school starts. I am so upset, because I have no idea what she is going to need for the upcoming year and I am missing all the great sales! Money is tight around here and I feel they (teachers) are being very inconsiderate by waiting until the last week to notify parents of the requirements.
Furthermore, my daughter doesn’t even know who her teacher is for school and is fretting. I feel awful for her. She is going to be attending middle school so its rather a BIG move for her and she now has added worries. I feel so bad 🙁
Nope. My kids are old enough to not need all of the usual school supply stuff. Thank goodness 🙂
Have a great Friday!

Yep, started and finished!
That’s rough about the school list. It does help to be a little prepared & not having to be there @ the same time as everyone else is good too.
I’m done w/ back to school shopping. School for us starts on Wed the 12th. I do feel for your daughter about the teachers though. We don’t find out who the teachers will be here until the night before & we’re a k – 8th grade school. Even my 2nd grader doesn’t get to know.
Tell your daughter that I’m sure she’ll do fine. This is a wonderful new adventure that she will love!
my kids are in college and i don’t miss that time consuming chore at all.
I have been done with school supply shopping for my first grader for a while now. My in-laws bought him an L.L. Bean backpack and now we just need a few things like jeans since he is too tall for the old ones now.
No kids in school so no shopping to do 🙂
Not yet, we have three weeks yet!
I started to shop for a few things for my grandson last week.
I don’t go to school but I love office supplies so I try to cash in on the sales 🙂
My little one is only 2….so not yet. It will be fun though….I used to love buying all the school supplies! 🙂
My daughter went back to school in July so we had to start our shopping early.
