Back to School Must Haves

By Courtney Lewis August 7, 2014

Your little one will be at the head of the class with our Back to School List. We picked great new products along with some classic cool styles to complete the look. 
See below for all the details. 
1- Madpax backpacks  These are the coolest backpacks around. They come in a ton of styles and sizes, and are super durable. 

2-The Children’s Place- We shop at The Children’s Place for cute, affordable school clothes. They carry on trend pieces as well as fun graphic tees and shorts. They also carry uniforms, shoes and accessories to complete the look.

3- Fun, Silly Pencils - We love to keep a supply on hand to brighten up a long day when homework is the last thing anyone wants to do.

4- Weelicious- Lunches Cookbook...Because one can only eat so many PB&Js. Catherine McCord gives us healthy, lunchbox friendly recipes and ideas in this family cookbook. 

5-Vans- The classic California skate shoe is always in style.

6-Plant Box- Lunch Box- Since my kids like just a little of lots of things to eat I’m going to try a bento box style lunch box this year. I love the idea of not having a million little containers to clean out everyday too.

7-Ez-Leaps A great tool for learning how to tie shoes. Invented by a mom and former elementary school teacher, this products lets children hit pause points, so the laces stay in place as they reposition their fingers. 

8- Mabel’s Labels-  We have been using Mabel’s labels for years to label all the things we love. Sweatshirts, lunchboxes, shoes and sports supplies all get a label and come home.  They are dishwasher and microwave safe and waterproof. We have labels that have outlasted products they were on.

9- LadyBug Jane Lip Balm- An organic vegan lip balm. Soothes, hydrates and conditions lips with natural sun and wind protection. There are No GMO’s, No Nuts, No Petroleum, No Beeswax. but Tons of yummy kid-favorite flavors. 

full disclosure  - some of these products we received for review purposes but all options are our own.
