Off to School We Go

Oh my gosh you guys! My oldest baby started kindergarten today and I couldn't be more happy but also a little sad at the same time. He's growing up so fast that I feel like he's going to be leaving for college before I know it... agh!!
He was so excited. He's been wanting to start his "new school" and be a big kid since spring so today was a big one for him. Look at how handsome and awesome my big guy is.

I had to get him some new threads and gear to start off his school experience. He picked out own backpack and lunch box. I was going to go with the traditional LL Bean style but Emmett was adamant that he wanted gray... the only color they don't have, so I found a few other options. He settled on the gray camo from Land's End. The backpack seems well made and it has lifetime warranty so this one should last him for years to come. It's a good size, but not overwhelming with room to grow. Right now they're 25% off with code SUNTAN.

Hopefully I've got a few more years before this one is relevant... we'll see.

Shopping for my Boys

As I've mentioned before I have two energetic, lovely little boys. I love them to death and love being a mom to boys but one of the downsides to having boys rather than girls would have to be the clothes. I walk through the children's section and see so many cute options for girls but then I go over to the boy's section and it's so depressing.
The boys section isn't cute or sweet or even handsome. As much as Emmett would love cartoon characters on all of his clothes, I do not. I like for them to be either classic or preppy. Even though it can be difficult, I've rounded up a few looks I think would be handsome on both my boys this spring. Everything is from Old Navy, plus if you shop online today you can get an additional 40% off kids clothes when you use the code PLAY which makes for some great prices!
