Hi Fabulous Friends!
I am not sure if this "tradition" of mine is to celebrate the academic year that just ended or good way to start the next school year but it always happens around late June.
What is it you ask? It's buying myself a present! Not buying a present for myself from my kids or husband but it's "to Lorraine, from Lorraine" I buy the same gift to myself every year. I know you are thinking ... "Whaaaat??? the same gift??? What kind of crazy person does this?" This Fabulous crazy person!
Every single year I buy myself an Erin Condren Teacher Lesson Planner, a Vera Bradley tote or backpack, and this year I added some teacher planner stickers from Owl Plan with You on Esty. There is nothing like starting out the new year with a new teacher bag and planner.
Erin Condren releases her the new Teacher Lesson Planner in June so I have to order it when it first comes out. This year with the release she had a few free gifts to go with it. If you click HERE or the above link you will get my referral link and if you are new to Erin Condren as soon as you set up your account you will be emailed an $10 off code. I picked this cover and picked my own colors (green and blue are my faves) and personalized it with my name, the year, and a hashtag (#OttInspired - our school hashtag for this coming year). I also happened to buy myself some personalized file folders because I like my name on stuff. LOL!

The style of this bag is the pleated tote and the pattern is called Havana Rose. |
Do you have any teacher traditions that you do at the end of year or the beginning of the year? Let me know in the comments below.
