School is Cool

I've been helping to homeschool an 8-year-old since September and I have to say it is the greatest part-time job. Ever.

In fact, yesterday, I taught the kid how to cut out an image in Photoshop and place it into the InDesign file for the book he's writing. Basically, my heart burst.

Anyway.

The biggest thing I've learned from homeschooling so far is that school really is cool. And when you have the flexibility of homeschooling, it is pretty easy to get a kid excited about pretty much any subject. Even... math. Yes. Math.

When I saw these prints from KOMBOH I fell in love instantly. Obviously, I love the reading one the most, but there's still room in my life for geography and science. I guess.

You can buy these prints and more from KOMBOH's Society 6 shop.

p.s. I use the Society 6 app for all my iPhone backgrounds. It is awesome.

3 great back-to-school notebooks for design lovers

I have a serious notebook-purchasing problem. Unlike all the unread books on my shelves though, most of the notebooks I own are filled.

Obviously one of my favorite parts of going back to school was always buying new school supplies, including beautiful notebooks. I've been out of school for a few years but if I were shopping for fresh notebooks to take to class hopefully to make them a little more enjoyable, here are three I'd have definitely already purchased (you can never have too many): 

1. Esme Winter lined notebooks, $31 for the pair

2. Woodgrain Eco Notebooks from Poketo, $13.50 each in light and dark

3. Kate Spade Saturday notebooks, on sale for $14 each. I love the middle one.

Where do you buy your notebooks for back to school, work or journaling?
