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!

Ah your kids get cuter every day! I love Gymboree’s boy clothes too! #boymom here too!
Katie Robinson says
My tiny one goes into the “twos” room in September and for her that means way more access to things she loves – sand tables, water tables, paints, and her beloved huge pretend kitchen in the upper rooms. She also has new glasses, which means she will be able to really see all the things even more clearly!
Menucha says
My son is looking forward to getting to start preschool and go to school EVERY DAY! (Oh, wait. I might be confusing him with his mother…)
Umeka says
There is only one word to describe what my baby girl Willow loves about school EVERYTHING! From her teacher, Ms. Apple to learning new and exciting things to making new friends and having fun with old friends everything about school ROCKS!

My son started 1st grade and rode the bus this morning for the first time. Insert “aww!” My daughter starts in the 2’s room on Monday. Why does it go so fast?!

My 4th grader is so excited she gets to join the after school chorus this year!! Singing is her passion so it is all she talks about. My 2 year old is getting lots of mommy time this year before heading to preschool next year!

Well, since my daughter is not in school and is currently working on her ABC’s with her babysitter, I would say she is looking forward to snacks!!? This is awesome! I love Gymboree!

looking forward to getting to go at all. Now she is big enough to attend for the first time. But getting to make new friends is very exciting for her.

The youngest of three girls is starting school this year and just lost her 1st tooth! This is a very special year for a very special family we’ve “adopted” as our own. Now we ladies get to have some special time to ourselves and cherish this new bonding.
Laura McDunn says
We love Gymboree! My girls live their clothes and they have such cute boy clothes too!
Tracy says
With 3 girls ages 1month to 8 years old, I need to do my shopping online! I would love to get all matching outfits for a family picture this fall!
My oldest is the only onesie school right now and she is looking forward to a new teacher this year and seeing all her friends again. She’s also working on another loose tooth.
My middle child might start two days at “school” where her big sister goes which would mean picking out her 1st backpack
Laura McDunn says
I hit submit too soon!! My youngest daughter is looking forward to her first year of preschool and my oldest daughter is looking forward to me being an aide in her room this year! Apparently it’s the coolest thing to have your mommy also be your teacher! My youngest son is looking forward to seeing his favorite teacher and all his friends and my oldest son is looking forward to flag football and basketball! It’s going to be a busy, busy year!
Amy Lumley says
My youngest (3 years old) is looking forward to heading back to daycare and playing with his friends this fall!
