BUBBLEBUM INFLATABLE BOOSTER SEAT. For those rotating carpools of course! An affordable, lightweight car booster seat that travels a lot easier than a child does (don’t tell my girls I said that).

CHOOZE SHOES. Mismatched on purpose, non-marking rubber outsoles, 100% cotton canvas linking, anti-microbial, 100% vegan materials, adjustable straps for perfect support and fit. $47-49.

“LUNCH HAPPENS” ITZY RITZY & SHUTTERFLY PERSONALIZED LUNCH BOXES. I say, skip putting your kid’s name on their lunch and use their picture instead! The first kind of insulated lunch bag that lets YOU design the picture. Beyond adorable and makes a fabulous gift for those kids who’ve got birthdays right at the beginning of the school year. $24.99.

SYDNEY PAIGE BACKPACKS. These beauties GIVE BACK to children in need… one for one. You buy one, they donate one FILLED WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES to another child in need. This concept started by Southern California mom (who happened to live my neighborhood). Fabulous design, high quality (LL Bean, Pottery Barn grade). Another great gift idea for a fall birthday. $40-60.

LITTLE TWIG AND SPARROW PJS. Get your kids into their pajamas and ready for an early bedtime with these cool, comfy and fun pajamas made from soothing Tanguise cotton from Peru. These jammies feature modish designs and are durable enough for rough and tumble play before bed, yet snuggly enough to be the only pair of PJs your kids will want to wear. Durable fabric ideal for girls and boys. $40.

SUN ANGELS SUN-PROTECTIVE SLEEVES. I dig your sleeves! Sun Angels is a brand of sun protection gear for children that combines function and fashion. UPF 50+ sunsleeves are easy for kids to slip on before recess or field trips and take up no space in backpacks. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime. Children are especially vulnerable to harmful effects of UV light because their skin is thinner and has less melanin than adults. Many children also have sensitive skin, which can be irritated by the use of sunblock. (Some of you have already heard about my LilMiss’ eczema situation.) Sun Angels sleeves provide protection against both UVA and UVB rays and are easy to slip on and off a child’s arm. No muss, no fuss. And that’s fab-u-lous. (Look I’m a poet.) $19.99.
