Back to School Shopping

It's back to school time in full force over here. Mia did two years of pre-k, but Kindergarten just seems so much BIGGER!!!  Maybe it's the bus, which I'm too nervous to let her ride. Or with Wes starting pre-k, maybe it's the logistics of getting everyone to & from, that has me feeling all sorts of overwhelmed. Whatever it is,  I'm officially a hot mess, overwhelmed mom of school aged children. Help US!

Now the fun part is OBVIOUSLY the back to school shopping. The new backpack, unicorn Lisa Frank folders, fresh hair cut and new shoes were my favorite parts of back to school!!!  See Kai Run gifted Mia & Wes each a pair of shoes for back to school. Usually Damon takes the kids shoe shopping & they always come back with the most expensive, GREAT for their feet shoes, that are NOT CUTE!! The are big, clunky & look terrible with dresses & shorts.  I want GREAT for their feet AND adorably stylish,  like any instamom would!

See Kai Run saved us because they are adorable annnnd promote healthy foot development. More info on their Best in Fit program here. A win for mom & dad  The kids actually went on their website and picked out the shoes themselves. Mia wanted "fancy, fashion shoes and jumped for joy when her Carli's came!!! I'm just super pumped they don't pinch or rub her heels like some of her other "fashion shoes." She has been running and jumping in them like they are tennis shoes! Bonus points to Wes' Sammi shoes for being wide enough for him to slip them on himself!! He has several pairs of Converse that he never wears because he can't slip his foot in. Since I am almost always holding a twin (why wasn't I born with four arms?), this is seriously helpful for getting us out the door on time. Or only ten minutes late instead of the standard thirty.
