I can't believe how fast summer flew by this year. I blame the weather, we had such a slow start to the heat and sunshine this year, it feels like summer just began. Nevertheless, the calendar is telling me that August is already half over and it's time to start thinking about sending the boys back to school. I've been busy checking out some of coolest back to school supplies on the internet and wanted to share some of our top picks with you since I know you are probably doing a … [Read more...]

The kids are back in school and parents are back to work and routines too, which means everyone needs a packed lunch on their way out the door. I've seen plenty of "school lunch" bags and kits that were definitely designed with fun over function and while they were cute, they just don't cut it when it actually comes to packing lunches. This is why I love Fuel by Trudeau, the products function well and they are so cleverly designed to not only be pleasing to the eye but get the job done! As … [Read more...]

Much to the despair of our little ones, back-to-school time is fast approaching. The freedom and fun of summer will soon be over and the reality of routines and homework is about to start. While we’re eager to get the kiddies out of the house at last, the reality is that it comes with a few “drawbacks”: Laundry: Summer comes with its fair share of stains but soon gym clothes and uniforms will take over – big time. If your kids wear a uniform to school, you know the importance of … [Read more...]

If you are anything like me you start out summer holidays with good intentions on keeping the kids active in reading and writing. The plan was to continue their work with spelling and printing and other topics and we did pretty good the first week, but then things slowly started to slip in the summer sun. Summer is just too darn short and inviting to be writing out spelling lists and the rest of the summer was spent relaxing on the beach, jumping on the trampoline and scoring goals on the soccer … [Read more...]

Growing up my brother was always reinventing himself. His style changed on the regular and my friends were never quite sure who they would find walking out of the bedroom down the hall. From punk to skater and even preppy, he kept my mom on her toes in the clothes department. My own boys are still small but it's clear that they are starting to develop their style and find themselves as they grow. My middle boy went all through grade one wanting to wear "fancy" clothes, which just meant khakis … [Read more...]
Cool and Affordable Back-to-School Clothes for Boys

Back to school was always an exciting time growing up. My mom would take my brother and I out to buy us new outfits, back packs, markers and notebooks in August to prep us for the months ahead. Naturally, I couldn't wait to show off my new threads on the first day, but September is notoriously warm as well and I had to decide if I was going to sweat all day in my fall digs or leave them for another day. I know I'm not the only one who had the same experience! Now that I'm an … [Read more...]
