Parents: Today is your day! I have partnered with Gymboree to make back to school shopping EASY! With a few clicks of your mouse you can have complete outfits, head to toe, for you little ones! Say what? That’s right, head to toe, including, coats, backpacks, socks and shoes! No tears, no tantrums and no outbursts! (And none of those things for the kids either! {wink} ) Gymboree also has a special treat for YOU as well! How about a $100 Gift card?
Gymboree has made our dreams come true! What would you rather do, drag yourself & all of your kids to the mall to go school shopping? Or would you rather shop from the comfort of your own home knowing you can get everything you need with just your mouse? I mean, shopping in my house without even having to put on real pants and drinking a glass of wine or chasing my kids through the food court and leaving having spent an extra $25 on a glowing yo-yo and 3 soft pretzels and a slushie! It’s a great day when these show up to your door!
It’s a no brainer really! I am a huge fan of Gymboree for a few reasons.
- They have adorable boy clothes. Boymoms you know the drill: 15 racks of girl stuff in a store, 2 racks of boy clothes. I love, love, love every season of Gymboree’s boy line!
- I can dress all three of my boys (even in matching outfits!) One stop shopping. Gymboree dresses newborns to 12 years old!
- Great quality. My boys can PLAY in this stuff and it holds up great!
- I can get play clothes AND I can get nicer clothes for Christmas, family pictures and Church! Everything in one store!
- Everything goes together. So I can mix and match shirts and pants and everything matches. This is HUGE people…my boys cannot match if their lives depended on it!
To make back to school shopping even easier on us poor parents just trying to survive the last few weeks of summer vacation with our crew, they have created bundles. Each bundle was handpicked by an expert stylist, with the perfect pieces to help you check off your entire back to school shopping list in just a couple of clicks!
Because I love everything they have, I let my kids do their shopping this year. They really couldn’t go wrong! I even let Spangenbaby pick a few things. {More on that below} So let’s see what they picked and what are their favorites! P.S. Letting them choose means that they are much more eager to actually WEAR the stuff <—for any parents who have to fight to get their kids dressed!
Michael – 4th Grade
Michael is artistic, he is caring and he is able to build anything out of polymer clay! The kid amazes me! The Varsity Jacket is just a glimpse of him in high school! Gah why do they grow up?
Michael’s favorite find from his back to school clothes are the chambray shoes! :) (I got the same shoes for all three boys because they are elastic shoe laces! No tying shoes or flopping around shoe laces!!)
Ryan – 1st Grade
Ryan is hilarious. He is funny and silly and LOVES to make people laugh. If you check out his video below you will get a glimpse of that personality! He wants to be a rock star so I am not allowed to cut his hair because he wants “rock star hair”!
He couldn’t really name a favorite. He loved the visor, picked out the basketball t-shirt and also loved the varsity jacket to keep up with big brother :) Then he will tell you a few more of his favorites and also the reason for his long hair!
Spangenbaby – Kids Day Out
Now we are onto Spangenbaby…this dude starts “school” this year too, just like big brothers! He’s going to Kids Day Out two times a week!
This kid sat on my lap and picked out everything football! This shirt and the football hat were HIS! He cried when I took both off to change into pajamas for the night! He was also in love with is backpack for “skoo” He wore it around and kept saying “skoo bapack!”
So like I mentioned above, I can dress all three alike. It’s fun. So I do it because soon Michael will have no part of it! I love that everything can layer and they can wear them open and casual like this or buttoned up for church or family pictures!
They are pretty stoked to start school and I am pretty stoked that it was the easiest process to get them dressed like the studs they are!

My youngest is looking forward to losing a tooth, and my eldest is looking forward to learning to play an instrument (currently her plan is the clarinet).

My youngest is starting kindergarten this year. He is stoked about science experiments and field trips. His school backs up to an old Army fort (that is still open for tours and special events). He thinks his school IS the old Army fort and that the soldiers ate lunch in his cafeteria. It’s super exciting for him (and us).
Our oldest is starting his senior year and is looking forward all that comes with it. Our second oldest is starting HS. She’s a nervous wreck but is excited about her new world in ROTC and theatre. Last but not least is our 7th grader who is excited about her first year as a cheerleader in middle school.
It’s going to be a good year! :)
Your boys look fantastic in their new threads. Everyone is so big now! :D

My oldest is starting 5th grade this year, so she’ll be in the oldest group at school. There’s something always great about that! She is also in her first play with our local acting community and it’s her favorite story, The Little Mermaid!
Heather says
My son can’t wait to start 1st grade, lose his first tooth & play in the big kid playground. And my daughter can’t wait to start a new school with new friends & be a middle school kid!

Nancy Quinones says
My older daughter is starting a new school this year and she’s going into first grade. She is in the dual-immersion program where she will be taught strictly in Spanish for most of the day and maybe about 20% English. I know it’s going to be a little challenging but I know she will do great. My two year old son is super excited for anything that is character based. He likes bright colors in his clothing style. I also let both of my children pick out their outfits. I love Gymboree for their clothing that is both stylish and durable.

My oldest is headed to preschool two days a week this year. This morning was orientation and he LOVED IT! But with him gone, my youngest gets to enjoy some alone time with mommy for the very first time! He’s going to love that time with mom! ❤️
