Eeeks! It’s our first day of school and to celebrate, I’m doing a First Day Giveaway with Nordstrom!
Right about now, I’m loading lunchboxes into backpacks, helping kiddos get ready and will walk them to their new classes. I am so excited for my kids. They are pumped about their new teachers, seeing their friends and getting back into the routine of school. I love spending the summer with them and having all of that extra time…but I’m also excited for them and this new chapter. The days are long, but the years are short. Try as I might, they just keep growing up. I love this season of life…it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and I’m so blessed by it.
Tomorrow, I’ll share our back to school pics :).
So, to celebrate kiddos heading back to school, I partnered up with Nordstrom today and we’re giving one special teacher a $500 Nordstrom gift card to spend on new fall stuff. Now, I really want to gift this to someone in education…so please only enter if you’re in that field or you are going to give it to someone in that field if you do win (teachers, coaches, administrators, assistants, custodians, school therapists, counselors, home-school moms…just any one in education!).
Now…these right here are some of my very favorite things for fall this season at Nordstrom…
#1: Basic Cami (in a whole slew of colors!)
#2: Lush Top (that doesn’t wrinkle and again, it comes in a bunch of colors and is currently 40% off!)
#4: Booties (in 5 colors!)
Okay and remember how on Friday, I showed you this dress to transition into fall…
…and remember how I loved it so much that I tried it on and forgot to put on shoes? Well, a few days later, I was shopping and found these cute booties to wear with them…
…aren’t they cute?!? They come in three colors :). I’m going to wear them with jeans and dresses this fall. And pssssst: that’s that top I bought in the Anniversary Sale. You can see it HERE and the necklace HERE.
One last Nordstrom fall favorite…
…this top again from Friday’s post. Because…I mean…there really couldn’t be anything MORE fall, right?!?! This shirt comes in a variety of colors too.
And there were just too many cute fall scarves…so I found my faves for you 🙂 . Scroll and click to see them…
Okay teachers (and other people in education!), enter the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win this $500 Nordstrom Gift Card. Thank you Nordstrom for making giveaways like this possible!
Happy first day of school to many of you!

Thanks for thinking of us, teachers! It’s always extra appreciated when someone goes the extra mile for us. I’m always looking for quick and easy to travel yet delicious and “not boring” lunches to bring to school. Any ideas?

They are such great influences on their students and try to be a light for God in the public schools! Love them all 🙂 (Husband-music teacher, sister- math, brother- 5th grade, brother in law- English, SIster in law- special education, mother in law- elementary, and i work for a school travel company! Got all the subjects covered!)

He’s amazing and could totally be decked out in a few new shirt / ties / pants 🙂 🙂 🙂 thanks for such a great give away even if we don’t win you know it goes to something amazing, teachers are gems and none of them get paid what they deserve , it’s a very selfless profession 🙂

Keri Brown says
I am entering in hopes to win this for my husband! He quit his job as a financial analyst 9 yrs ago to be a high school math teacher to not only try and help teach kids that need him, but to spend more time with our two children. He works so hard in and out of the classroom. He is also the Varsity girls softball coach and spends so much time with these girls among volunteering with various other mentoring/coaching/tutoring projects. He never buys himself new clothes and he needs some new things. We would love to buy him a few new pieces to add to his “coach clothes” lol!!

Amber says
School counselor here! Thanks for remembering the “other” staff too!
Spencer says
This is such an awesome give away! Hopefully it would be OK to split the gift card… I have an amazing mother who is a 5th grade teacher who would LOVE something fun & new to wear. I also have a wonderful husband who is a special ed teacher and generally puts his wardrobe last 😉 He would love a few athletic polos to wear to work!! Haha 🙂 Either way.. so glad you are recognizing teachers! I know firsthand how much work they do – they deserve it!!
Jasmine says
YaY! A giveaway for teachers! I was so excited to see this when I started reading this morning. As I try to get organized to go back to school this would be perfect!

Remy Bennett says
What a nice thing to see on a Monday morning, before I head into my classroom for the first time this school year! Thank you for recognizing those in education-it isn’t easy. This year, I am headed to teach a tough group of 2nd graders with a lot of regulation issues…while expecting my first baby. I am nervous, but I know this is what I was put on this earth to do. Hope your family has a wonderful school year!!
niki says

That those teachers will take of my people. They deserve the world!

Claudia Mcconnell says
Would love to win for my very pregnant sis in law who is a kindergarten teacher!
Angela Ellingson says
Thank you for including homeschool mamas in your list! So thoughtful. Also, all the clothes look so cute on you! I see you in an adorable top, click the link to see it on Nordstrom, etc., and I almost always think, I wouldn’t have given the top or whatever a second thought if I hadn’t seen how cute it was on you. Not sure if that makes sense, but basically, you should model for Nordstrom. 😉 Have a great day, Shay!
Kary says
Thank you and Nordstrom for the wonderful giveaway! I’m starting my first year as a library media tech and I’m super excited!
Megan Coggins says

angie g says
Hooray! I’m in CTE administration which one of our programs is retail management!
Lisa says
I love this giveaway! I am not a teacher, but i married into a family of educators and my good friend is the best Art teacher around. She would have no excuse not to splurge on herself with this giftcard.
Nicole says
This is such a nice giveaway! Teachers work so hard and spend a lot of time helping kids… I know my boyfriend does. Especially since he volunteers to run after school clubs. I will definitely give him the gift card to buy new clothes to wear. He needs more “grown up” outfits for work… he can’t be in the same outfits as his high school students! We went last weekend to get a couple shirts but he needs way more! Hope your kids enjoy their first week back!
Laura says
I would love this for my daughter who home schools her 3 boys. She loves teaching them and is such a great teacher to them. She’s going to Ireland in October and she would absolutely LOVE this for a few outfits before going on her 10th Wedding Anniversary trip !!! Praying hard. 🙂
Doreen says
While I am not a teacher, I’d like to enter to win for an amazing teacher, Miss Cole. She had my older daughter 4 years ago and now has my baby girl in her class. I have NEVER meant a more warm, loving, devoted teacher. She just radiates joy every single day and brings comfort to the littles who are having a rough time with this big change in their lives.❤️❤️❤️
Hannah says
As a teacher, this gets me ALL KINDS OF EXCITED! 🙂
Jac says
My mom is a teacher and she works so so hard. it always blows my mind how many hours she puts in before and after school and on the weekends. and the kids are so lucky to have her! i would love to be able to give her something like this. she never does anything for herself and this would be a dream.
Meagan says
Entering for my mom! She’s a middle school teacher and heads back to school next week. She was able to take some time off this spring after my husband was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma (a soft tissue cancer) to help me with my 1 and 2 year old while we went through all of the surgeries and chemo treatments. She’s my HERO and deserves a fancy new wardrobe when she heads back to the classroom! Thanks for the chance to win for her! 🙂
Natalie Shapiro says
You are the sweetest!! ????????
Hannah Morrison says
Love that this is for teachers! I’m not a teacher myself, but I’m crossing my fingers that I can win this for my sister who teaches 2nd grade! She so deserves a special treat and this would be so perfect for her! Love love love!

I’ve been following your blog since seeing your family on a ski lift in Breckenridge a couple of summers ago, and then seeing you AGAIN at a pizza shop for dinner that night…of course I felt like a creep and couldn’t bring myself to say hello so my family tweeted at you instead! 🙂
I am a newlywed and 1st grade teacher in Bixby, Oklahoma who has just loved trying your recipes and watching your adorable kiddos grow up…I’m also very inspired by your adoption journey and hope to do the same when the time is right!

Conley Morrjs says
Shay! I would love the opportunity to give this to my big sis, a first grade teacher. This is only her 3rd year teaching so she is still in that phase of not having collected school supplies throughout the years like other experienced teachers. Let me tell you this girl is going to change these kids lives. Check out her Instagram, kathryngracegardner to see some of quotes she puts around her classroom to make sure every child leaves the class knowing how loved and cherished they are.

Jami Lee says
I’m not a teacher but I did just get a job at our local high school in the office. This would be wonderful! My youngest started kindergarten this year and I went back to work after being a stay at home mom for 8 years. I don’t think I can wear pj’s and yoga pants to work.

Kathy maas says
Selfishly, I’d want to keep it all to myself. But it’s hard to think of my fellow coworkers and how badly they need a makeover!!!!
Dressing to teach is like knowing you are going to be at Disneyworld on the hottest day of the year for 12 hours and you have to meet the potus at hour 11!!!
Honour says

I go back officially next week and my first graders start the week after. I had to have foot surgery this summer and it has been really hard this week trying to work in my classroom. Some new clothes, and good shoes, would be an awesome way to start the year!
