Matching Family Pyjamas
When did matching family pyjamas become a thing? It is a trend that has taken over the holidays and most social media posts around that time and we are on board with it!
What a fun way to celebrate and make memories during special occasions with your family. This year we took it two steps further and added matching Elf on the shelf pyjamas (pjs) and matching "pyjamas" bandanas for your furry family members.
Little Navy has the cutest holiday and Christmas pyjamas, made with buttery soft brushed poly and personalized just for you. Children and kid's pjs are available in short or long sleeve options.
Holiday memories will last a lifetime and having the excitement of matching pyjamas for everyone in the family, that are personalized with your name adds to the nostalgia.
I don't think the question is whether or not you will be joining in on the fun, but rather what design will you choose? Happy Matching!
Back to School Essentials for Junior/Senior Kindergarten & lower level Grades
Can back to school shopping be any more daunting? Especially during a pandemic, the ever growing list seems overwhelming.
As a mom of three with two school aged children, this is not my first rodeo. I have gone through all the whoas and bumps and bruises of what to buy for a child's first year of school and for a child's first school year during a pandemic.
When a good friend of mine reached out asking what she really needed for her girls going into Junior Kindergarten. I knew she wasn't alone.
I thought I would compile a list of supplies you will need to get your child ready for their first day of school (keeping in mind each school might ask for different requirements).
BAGS
- Appropriately sized Back Pack or Day Pack. Large enough to carry a lunch bag/box, change of clothes, pencil case and water bottle.
- Wet/Dry bag to store one pair of change of clothes to keep at school.
- Fanny pack. This was a requirement for my daughter last year who was in JK and it was SO SMART! She always had it on her to carry her masks and hand sanitizer.
- Lunch bag/box
- Pencil Case
WRITING SUPPLIES
- Markers or crayons. I gave each of my children a pack of washable markers.
- Pencil, eraser, sharper, glue stick and a pair of child friendly scissors.
- Personal dry/erase board and markers.
*Don't worry, if your child needs anything more, your school should be communicating this with you.
EXTRAS
- Face masks (our school requested at least two per day). I typically sent 4 so they could change them out after recess.
- Hand sanitizer
- Change of clothes (including socks and underwear)
- Indoor shoes
- Headphones
- Paper or notepad (depending on the age/grade)
One important thing is everything (EVERYTHING) must be labeled with your child's name so waterproof name labels are a MUST! You're going to put those labels on everything. Keep those items out of the lost and found bin!
Ok friends! Hopefully this was helpful and makes your back to school shopping less overwhelming. Cheers - Jen
