Thinking of order Back to School shoes online but unsure if you are getting the right size of shoes for your children? Then look no further! I am so thrilled that a simple tool like this Treads measuring gauge can put my mind at rest and take the guesswork out of ordering online. It takes a huge amount of stress out of the Back to School process. Just think, there is no more queuing with tickets, out of stock sizes and no need to return as you have the right size shoes for your child!
We are a big fan of Stamptastic and we knew what to expect as their products are always great quality and last for ages! We are still using both my children’s personalised name stamps that we had from five years ago. This is how great their products are. They’ll last forever if you use them carefully!
This Ion8 water bottle is 100% leak proof, with a vented, smooth liquid flow for rapid hydration, which makes a great water bottle for children. As many parents will know, it is very frustrating if children keep coming back with a leaky bottle and soggy bags or books! This means there will be a lot of cleaning up to do and drying out to do.
How do you label your children’s school clothing? It is almost at the end of the school term and some of you might already be looking at getting stick-on labels or personalised stationery for your children. Most schools will emphasise how important it is for you to label your children’s clothing and their belongings so that the items can be identified! It is always shocking to see the mountain of lost and found items at the end of the school year without any labels.
The new Pulsin Kids’ Fruity Oat bars now contain a third less sugar than the average kids’ fruit snack, which makes Pulsin Kid’s Fruity Oat Bars the perfect tasty wholesome low sugar snack option for lunch boxes and after school snacks. They also contain no nasties and are 100% natural made with real fruit and natural ingredients.
First day at school is a huge milestone for children and even parents, and it is easy for them to become anxious about new routines after a long summer break and social situations. As many of you know, Marks & Spencer (M&S) has been making uniforms for decades, and knows what it takes to keep your child smart, confident and comfortable through the school day. At the heart of that is letting kids be themselves and being comfortable in their own skin.
For the last two months, we have been testing out these start-rite Mary Jane school shoes for Ms C to see how they fare. Have they stood up to the test? Have they been keeping Ms C comfortable and will they keep going into the new school year? Yes, it has and it should!
This summer, Morrisons is helping us to get ready for the back to school journey!

All clothing in the Nutmeg children’s wear range is also covered by Morrisons’ 200 day ‘no quibble’ guarantee which covers rips, spills and outgrown pieces, assuring parents that school uniforms will survive the wear and tear of the playground.
August is always the busiest time for entertaining the children and also not forgetting having to buy the back to school items like stationery, school uniforms and many more.
I am delighted that Sambro has sent Ms C a range of Back To School stationery to get her excited for her new year. We have the My Little Pony 3D effect girls backpack, Disney Princess pencil case, Disney Princess 12 mini erasers and Disney Princess super stationery set.

Most parents of primary school children will have come across Heelys and in fact, at my children’s school, it seems like every child has a pair! They are the trainer style shoe with the skateboard-like wheel in the heel. They are an ingenious, cool looking skate-shoe that enables children to transform an ordinary walk into a much more lively and interesting journey altogether.
To celebrate the 3D Blu-ray™, Blu-ray, DVD release of Captain America: Civil War, which will be out on the 5th September, and with children going back-to-school, I was asked to come up with a healthy superhero back-to-school lunch box idea.
This summer, M&S is helping us to get ready for the back to school adventure! Did you know that M&S has been helping parents get their children ready for back to school for over a century?
This year, they are campaigning ‘Decades at School’ and will be showcasing a timeline of its school archives, focusing on how getting kids ready for back to school has changed over the years – from uniforms to packed lunches. Discover how family’s back to school journey has changed from yours to your children.
How did your back to school experience compare to your children? For mine, it was totally different to my children. I was born and raised in Singapore. Our primary and secondary schools have very strict rules on books and each school had their own individual school uniform. These rules restricted us to buy the books and uniforms from specific places or we would also get hand-me-downs from older siblings.
Time passes very quickly! We are almost at the end of the term and soon it will be the summer holidays and then time to get ready with the back to school stationery!
Great Gizmos have a large range of NICI stationery. We have received four different items for the back to school theme. The four items are: Wild Australia 12 double-ended colour pencils, Wild Friends scissors, Jungle Plush pouch roll and Timmy Time backpack.
We love stationery in this house especially as the children are at the age where they both love to draw and colour in. Now I have been introduced Neon stationery from The Anker Group and I am so pleased to share this news with my readers.
The Anker Group not only have creative toys like Kids Create, but they also distribute stationery like Frozen, Minions, Adventure Time and many more. If your child like to build and construct, check out our review on the Kids Create set.
