It’s the first day of September…. where have the summer months gone by??? I can’t believe it even though September is my favourite month. (why? you ask – it’s my birthday month ;) Still for some, September means many things, the end of summer, start of the cold weather, but mostly it’s the BACK TO SCHOOL month.
To celebrate the school season, my daughter got to style her stuff in a serious scholarly outfit with all the essentials including Semilla Snack Bags. Take a look…
How did you like my daughter in a school outfit? She’s a smart cookie as is, but seeing her all dressed up with her snack bag in hand made me realize just how big she’s growing.
She really loved using the snack bags to reach in for a few cookies and some dried fruit. I loved how they were secure and snug with the velcro opening and she had no trouble opening them. I already washed mine a few times and they look like brand new again. Brilliant little things that reduce waste, are durable and functional, are in 100% cotton and hand sewn (not in china). Plus, all the snack bags are now made with a non-toxic layer of nylon: lead free, phthalate free and No BPA! This increases their practicality and keeps snacks fresher for longer periods of time. I give these TWO THUMBS UP!
There’s all this talk about BACK TO SCHOOL – but these are fantastic for grownups too who want to fashionably bring their lunches to work or for a walk in the park ;)

Oh she is a smart cookie (and a supercute one) and her mama is one too for getting those snack bags. I am in the process of switching over to them myself. The plastic makes me a little crazy especially with four kiddos. Thanks for sharing. Be well, Angela
Summer ends for me when the weather and temperature noticeably change! Thanks for the giveaway. These bags look great!
Ella, you did a fabulous job capturing photographing the snack bags! Excellent color combinations, thank you for the support.
Living where we do in north coastal San Diego, the flip flops never are put away, but the true end to summer for me is when the days are too short to go to the beach in the evening and the Ugg boots come out for the early mornings:) Semilla bags are the best! Everyone should be loaded and stocked with them! thanks for the giveaway.
Great snack bags. They would be great to use on our fieldtrips and nature walks. Thanks for the chance to win AND totally adorable pics!
Thanks for the visit to my blog, and oh my, isn’t your daughter just cute, cute?! Although we are experiencing our first technical “heat wave” in 10 years here, the first day of school was yesterday, and that signals end of summer to me. Now, if only the weather would cooperate! I’m ready for fall. These snack bags look great! They look a little bit bigger than the others that I’ve tried. We love our cloth snack bags, but don’t have quite enough to fully stop using the Ziploc bags.
What a super cute outfit. I love how it really made that apple stand out. Summer ends for me the beginning of school. The month of August consist of school shopping have the kids spend time with their grandparents and then school starting.
i would love these snack bags!!! i would love a chance to win.
summer ends for me when i start to see signs of fall – like the fall festivals, going to pick apples, seeing the leaves change. it’s been so hot here that i won’t really think summer has ended until i feel the 70 degree days again.
thanks for reminding me just how much i LOVE fall…ahhh…the sites and smells are the best.
For us, summer seems to end on Labor Day. Thanks for hosting the giveaway. These lunch & snack sacks are wonderful!
summer ends the first day of school. even tho I (as a prof go back tomorrow), its the first day of my kids school. sigh….
snack bags YAY!
Summer ends when the heat is over. Generally October but sometimes later. That’s life in TX.
Summer ends in Alaska in just a few days. The leaves are yellowing already, and we could honest to god have snow by mid-month.
we are well into our 2nd week of school. so sad to summer leave but sure am ready for autumn temperatures!
the snack bags are super cute! thanks for stopping by my blog today.
Summer is already over for us…we know it is over when the public pool closes because all the lifeguards head off to college…
Cute snack bags! I don’t think I have ever won anything on a blog…go random number generator!
What cool snack bags! Great fabric choices! And your daughter is so cute, lovely photos :)
summer ends for me when the air gets that fall feeling- it’s cooler and crisper and smells like burnt leaves. mmmmm….
i love the snack bags- the colorful ones are especially cute!!
So far behind on my blog reading and commenting ~ so glad for your message today. :) You are right, I’m very interested in your giveaway!!
Your daughter looks darling in her little school outfit…your photo shoot reminds me of something you would see in a magazine. Just excellent!!
oooh! thanks fer inviting me over here! summer ends fer me when there’s that little chilly bite in the air all day long.
i love that.
it means, to my body and my heart, “fall is here.”
yay snack bags!!! and yer daughter is a.dorable.
Lovely pictures. Your daughter sure knows how to pose.
These bags look great! A long time ago, we got rid of (mostly) all our disposable snack bags, and converted our lunch boxes over to the Laptop Lunch system. I am a huge fan of reusable! So thank you for letting me know about this giveaway; I did not know about Semilla Snack Bags before reading about them here.
To answer your question about the end of summer: it is, without doubt, the first day of school for me. We get into our new routine once school starts, and then it just seems that summer officially becomes a thing of the past.
Thanks again for letting me know about the giveaway.

P.S. Beautiful photos, btw!
um, when I don’t have to turn the AC on anymore and have to turn the fans off too. your daughter is adorable. what a great giveaway. thanks
Whenever it starts to cool off, which is usually at least mid September.
Thanks for visiting my blog, and the heads up about the giveaway :) YOur daughter is such a sweetie :)
Hmm summer ends for me at equinox if it hasn’t gotten chilly already. If it has gotten chilly and I have to wear a sweatshirt then that’s it for me. I don’t like heat too much but I do try to savor the season. Peace, Angela
summer in houston, tx ends towards the end of october. i always remember halloween in my childhood. sometimes i would be sweating my little butt off going door to door and sometimes it will be a bit chilly. i cant wait til it starts cooling down. for now its still 100+ degrees.
your daughter is so precious! what a great model she is.
Normally, summer “ends” on the first day of school, which was yesterday. HOWEVER it is currently 98 degrees out and feeling quite like the middle of summer. So this year, we;re going to have to take our cues from mother nature, and proclaim summer to be “over” when it starts feeling like fall.
great giveaway!
These are too cute and would be great for my son!! Summer ending? Here-huh! Maybe around October if we are lucky:) I am totally a fall kinda girl:)
Ooh, those look wonderful! Thanks for sharing the giveaway. :) Your daughter is just adorable!
Summer ends for me when the kiddos go back to school.
Sept. 1 is definitely the end of summer to me!!
Summer ends with the first frost, that is when the tomatoes and basil will turn dark and ugly!! I usually spend the night before the first frost frantically making pesto and drying basil to get as much of that taste of summer as possible! I am in the midwest, and my son started to school on August 19th, so vacation ended for him and started for me!! Lisa in KS (I would love a bag, too)
summer usually ends for me on the first day of school (which is Sept 7th here!)
Thanks for visiting my blog! I am now completely in love with these little bags and would love to have one (or ten!). I just love how they save so many plastic bags. We could use them since summer is ending for our little family on Wednesday when my hubs in back in school full time and our days of play our over.
Adorable pictures and model. She’s a cutie. :) Summer for us ends on the First day of fall, although i continue to play like it is summer until the snow falls or it’s too cold to play outside.

Summer ends when there is a cool breeze and I buy pumpkins and hang my fall wreath. LOVE FALL!!
Such a fun giveaway!! :) For us, summer ends when we can no longer head to the beach on the mininum days at school- my son started school at the beginning of August and we still go to the beach at least once a week since it is so hot here is SoCal! :)

Wonderful little bags! Summer ends today for me. I consider summer over when the pools close. However, I’m very ready for Fall!
What a beautiful giveaway!
We’re off to Vermont for few days… so I think summer will be over once we get back next week… Every year I feel so wistful and wonder “did we savour it enough”?
what an awesome giveaway, I’d love to have these. Such great reusable bags. Your little miss looks quite cute btw & photography beautiful, as always!
Summer ended August 16th when my kids went back to school! My schedule revolves around their schedules…! Great giveaway :)
for me summer ends the day after labor day. i live in the southwest though so summer doesn’t really end then, but i choose to pretend. it helps me to get through the last little blast of heat.
officially for the family it’s when school starts but for me it’s when it’s too cold for me to wear capris any longer. i try to drag it as far out as i can.
