School Supplies Shopping Spree 2022 | First Grade!

I can't believe Ziya is starting FIRST GRADE. We went on a shopping spree to Walmart and Target to shop for all of the school supplies on her list, school clothes, and a few fun items. Who else used to love back to school supplies shopping when they were a kid?

I love how Ziya “knows what she likes” even if mom tries to sway her decision….she sticks with her own opinion. Raven, you are raising a strong-willed and independent young lady!! Kudos to you👍🏽

[@lxspa529]

And I think she's an Aries, you can't tell them anything!! lol. they know exactly what they like and don't like. My nephew is the same way. Very hard to convince him of things.

[@momdukesandson9855]

Ziya has her own sense of style! Truly her mother’s daughter!

[@Patriciameloc]

I LOVE how you are teaching her to be independent, like "this is how you find your size!", letting her make her choices, and showing her the differences between needs and wants.

Just love how you are with Ziya, explaining things to her as you shop and making sure you stay on the budget. Doing great as a first time mum, you deserve a pat on the back. Your mum also is a good grandma. Love the family.

[@amandasyoutube2239]

Literally have been watching since before you were pregnant and it blows my mind that you have a FIRST GRADER! I’ve loved watching you grow into the fantastic mom that you are and the big girl Ziya has grown up to be. I can’t wait to see this new adventure in your lives and continue to see you both grow!

[@danielamariabustamantepaz1745]

I love how Raven shows ups that it’s ok to have clothes from Walmart and that it does have to be expensive. I feel like many other KZbinrs would never do that. I also love the way she helps Ziya be independent.

[@louisehudson3650]

Raven you are doing a great job teaching Ziya to be independent, and because you have done a great job, Ziya has everything that she needs to be successful in the first grade. Will she continue to carry her lunch or will you allow her to eat lunch in the cafeteria? I'm excited for both of you and can't wait to see this journey that you're about to embark upon!❤

[@tamaraperunovic]

Can't wait for Ziya's school morning routine as a 1st grader🥰

Omg, Ziya really grew up before our eyes. This is a fun vlog, getting prepared for school is always fun when you aren't the one having to go 😂.

[@tamia6326]

Love this comment, I couldn’t agree more!!

[@hazeleanne2991]

I love how Ziya’s interests somewhat challenge Raven’s virgo, but in a healthy flexible way 😌

[@DesireeNicole]

I CANNOT believe how big she is now!! Tax free week is next week in Florida ( for all my fellow moms out there!)

[@pattygacha4246]

Yup, my dad is taking us then

[@chonitasworld4877]

I love the bond you guys have with your mom reminds me of my mom! I freaking loved going shopping with her but we haven’t in years to do living to far etc. also I thought ziya was older 🥺 she’s so smart and beautiful !! School shopping gives a different type of seratonin

[@kittykatv12]

I did too. I kept thinking Ziya was 7. My daughter was like no she is 6. rewatch her birthday video. lol

[@maryz2054]

I love school supplies. We have a “school supply store” at home. It’s just a big container full of a ton of surplus which I stock up on when items are on sale during back to school so throughout the year if the kids need literally anything it’s all in there and they can just grab it. I mostly stock up on the crayons because you can’t beat 50¢ and you never see that price again throughout the year.

[@katemiller7874]

Smart Mary. We did too. It really helps on those mornings when they need something

[@dcapifali3282]

Love how you shop. She’s going to be doing arts & crafts, etc… and doesn’t need expensive clothes. LOVE

[@abrianacarey3160]

Just a quick note, double check with the school. Not all schools do this but she might need a clear or mesh back pack. I live in Lawton Oklahoma, pretty far from you, but that’s what my sons school requires. First grade is so exciting!! I remember those days like they were yesterday🥹 I was definitely more nervous than he was!

[@deniceworks6328]

in Dallas clear back packs are required in Middle and High schools. Elementary schools are exempt. You are right, she will need to check.

[@diamondsapphireangel1721]

As someone who lives outside of the USA, it seems weird to me but I totally get why.

[@kenyak2959]

That is sad that times has come to this

[@pheonixxxrose]

That's smart advice!

[@Marie-zz1el]

Back to school shopping used to be my favorite. We’d get new clothes, cute folders and stuff. I love that it’s a family event for you guys, your mom is amazing!

[@ShiAndRylee]

I love that despite Ravens Millionaire status she still chooses to shop at affordable everyday stores👏👏

[@ashauntiee]

Oh my goodness, Ziya in the first grade!!! Time really flies by, congratulations on making it to grade school baby girl! Such a big girl! Yayyy!!! First Grade!!!

[@BeautywithMika]

Ziya will go nuts in the children’s place for clothes. Back to school shopping is fun.

Oh my goodness Ziya has grown so much!! I remember when you guys did hair care videos all the time and I love your vids! 💓

Awww, thanks Ziya for sharing with us your tooth came out. Your personality Is really starting to shine. Great job on your school outfit combo choices. And your baby doll you kept showing us way to cute😅🤣😂.

[@justgigi3258]

Oh wow, this really brings back memories, I loved school shopping for my daughter....those days are long gone now!!!!😪

[@CJ-gp9cn]

Would love to see Raven attempt to do a capsule wardrobe for Ziya 😅 Some more neutral leggings and pants to help tone down the print-on-print looks, would surely be an entertaining video too 😆

[@kittykatv12]

When I watch you, I get inspired to do what I want. It’s a bittersweet moment for me because I watch how it’s your mom, you and Ziya. I miss those times when my mom, daughter and I was together. My daughter loves watching you three. You are doing an amazing job with raising Ziya.

[@francesthompson4639]

i love how ziya was like “i like the color black” soo intently 😂😂

I just did this Saturday with my daughter Auburn. She was so proud to shop together.

[@Shesthatgworl]

Yayyy Ziya’s going to first grade. I love how your vlogs parallel my life. I’m a single mom living in HTX, with a 6 yr old girl (only child) and she is going to 1st grade also this August. We both love watching your vlogs together. This will be my daughter’s second year at her current school. It was definitely a learning curve last year. From the pick up/drop offs to the fundraisers, school activities, school dances, graduation etc. I feel more prepared this year having done it last year. My mom advice is to label everything, Get in the pick up line early if your child is a car rider, get on the PTO list as it will let you know of all the school activities first and check if your daughter’s teacher has the Bloom’s app. It allows you to communicate directly to the teacher via the app and she can contact you with ease like text messaging. Trust me it helps! xoxo

[@theresourcefulnp3303]

she is so cuteeeeeeeee. I've been watching since Raven was in college and to see her now with Ziya is like rooting for them from the crowd!! Go head Raven! You killing it!

When it comes to PE, I’ve never heard of an elementary school requiring kids to change clothes. They usually want the kids to have tennis shoes and wear them to school on the days they have PE. Changing clothes for PE starts in middle school from my experience. She got some cute stuff!

I’m dying at Ziya repeating what you said about the erasers, “ because they don’t really erase” 😂😂

[@jhansiwaters5607]

This was so fun to watch! I’m sure you and the school thought of this already but practicing the school routine before the first day is super helpful. The drive there, drop off, pick up, the classroom. Even practicing the new schedule- bedtime and the wake up time a few weeks before. Good luck! Exciting times ❤

[@melmurphy4982]

I love how you let Ziya try to put her own outfits together ! She is the cutest !

[@artmonarchia5814]

2022, It amazing how fast children grow. Ziya is already in the first grade. Try to keep a positive open dialog with her teacher, and always check her bookbag. Before you know it Ziya will be in the 5th grade. 😁

[@Nunyabiz17]

I’ve said this once and I’ll keep saying it lol, but I just love/admire how you are raising your daughter! Thank you for not coddling her because we all know that’s what leads to dependency and I see that so much in my family and all it has caused is trouble. I can see you’re teaching her how to be independent and not helpless. I admire your parenting style so much because you’re teaching her the correct way to be independent. Myself, was 70% thrown to the wolves to figure it out and 30% told what to do and even then it wasn’t shown correctly. I don’t have kids yet but I’m really praying that as I continue to watch you that your parenting style and wisdom in general sticks with me❤️
