Back-To-Routine with Green Oak Village Place in Brighton {+ School Employee Giveaway!}

The post below is sponsored by Green Oak Village Place. All opinions expressed belong to me.

School is back and our family is quickly getting back into the routine of early wake-ups, packing lunches, and fall sports.

I’m excited to partner for back-to-school with Green Oak Village Place in Brighton, Michigan to once again share about this wonderful shopping destination + host a giveaway for school employees. We all know starting the year with a happy boost can make a big difference in setting the tone for a great school year!

Back-To-Routine With Green Oak Village Place

Here are a few of my family’s favorite stops at Green Oak Village Place in Brighton:

• Athleta: For athleticwear {because teaching and learning should be comfortable}
• Barnes & Noble: Because every season should start with a new read
• Dick’s Sporting Goods: Clothing and shoes…and Lions gear!
• DSW: Check out the latest styles in shoes for the family
• Five Below: School supplies, keychains for backpacks and locker supplies
• Happy Nails: For a back-to-routine mani/pedi
• T.J. Maxx: Pick up backpacks, clothing, lunch supplies and more
• JCPenney: Clothing for everyone in the family

Additionally, while there we checked out two newer businesses: StretchLab and Michigan Maker’s Marketplace.

StretchLab is a unique wellness concept, offering customized assisted-stretch sessions in a comfortable group setting. Learn about StretchLab Brighton here.

Michigan Makers Marketplace is a HUGE store dedicated to crafters and makers across Michigan. There were so many cool things to see! I can’t wait to shop for gifts here this holiday season. Learn more here.

Find the list of complete stores here. 

One thing we shopped for during our visit is an emergency kit for my girl’s backpacks. I loved that Five Below and Dollar Tree are next to each other for easy shopping!

When you’re done shopping, make sure to check out one of the great restaurants located in the plaza:

• Pick up a pizza at Rollin Stone Wood Fired Pizza {just voted the BEST in Livingston County!}
• Enjoy a Boba tea at Boba Bear
• Do not skip out on the awesome grub at Joe Kool’s
• Get a to-go order from Panera Bread
• Get take-out from Kerby’s Koney Island
• Enjoy Mexican-inspired fare from Salsarita’s
• Grab wings at Buffalo Wild Wings
• Grab a coffee at the Starbucks inside Barnes & Noble

TIP: If you need to move after dining, check out the wooded trail near JCPenney. There is a paved walking path that leads to Island Lake State Recreation Area and a mountain bike trail. Fall is perfect for a visit!
