.....the preparation for school is so exciting.....I remember it clearly when I was younger and it may be even more fun for me now that I have my own children....the difference is that in this day and age, you electronically purchase the school supplies months before the first day and they go directly to the classroom....so it is less shopping for rulers, glue sticks and pencils and more shopping for trendy and fun gear.....
......this is my third round of partnering with Stuck on You and I am thrilled each season we have come together because I love their products!.......my children tear open the bag of goodies and every time we receive incredible items that also become great ideas for gifts, favors, stocking stuffers or birthdays......
.....With my oldest child just beginning first grade, I have learned that there is a certain "cool" element to having bag tags for your backpack......all of the girls have a multitude of souvenirs dangling off their bags and Elsa loves her new keychain style bag tag......
.....she also loves that it is personalized because for the past several months, her name has been a popular ice breaker......(and if you don't know why the name Elsa is a hit, go see the movie Frozen).......
......Callie loves her junior messenger bag, which is a nice break from the oversized backpacks......this is perfect for Kindergarten because it is large enough to hold her folder and snack, but is still small enough to be portable on the bus and easy to carry......
.....it also has a front pocket for emergency cards, sunglasses, a sunblock stick, a favorite bracelet, a random coin, a half eaten bagel, a rock, a broken Barbie or whatever other knick knack carry items your little likes to cart around......
.....there is also a great selection of icons to choose from, so these bags can be personalized in several different styles.....
......nursery school still has another two weeks to go until Brody has his first day.....there has been a lot of hustle and bustle around here as we have been getting the girls ready for elementary school; and he has been anxious to have his turn......
.....my little man typically will not pose without bribes for pictures; however I think he was so excited it was his turn to break out the school gear that he made the exception......not to mention, this junior backpack is amazing.......it's made well, it's stylish and Brody loves the design......
.....the best part about it is the insulated snack compartment.......it is easily accessible for them and it lightens the load in my purse since he can carry his own snacks and water bottle........
......every mama has to love a product that fosters independence.......
.....Stuck on You has fantastic products that are unique and made to last.....many of their back to school items are on sale and they are also generously offering two readers a $25 gift certificate to use for purchase toward their products........
......good luck and happy back to school shopping.......
