Is it just me or did this summer just fly right on by? We are now already heading into week FOUR of school, and I think that’s even more unbelievable! Can time just slow down a teeny tiny bit?!
We are so thankful our BabbleBoxx got here in time for the first day! I’m going to walk you through of what goodies are inside and how we’re enjoying and using them during the start of the new school year.
Yipes! Wipes
My three older kids are really great about cleaning up for the most part, but I still have to remind them to run to the bathroom and wash up after they’re done eating or remember to use a napkin. What’s tough about both of those scenarios is there usually is still some sort of mess left behind. I am seriously so pumped to find Yipes! because they are 98% water (plus Vegan and good for the environment since they’re compostable!) so they’re able to get whatever is on their hands/faces removed since they are individually wrapped wet wipes. Since adding Yipes! to our home, they know to get one when they want to grab a snack so they have something to clean themselves afterwards. I love that it promotes taking the initiative to take care of themselves, on their own. Any effort like this is really appreciative to any busy parent who wants their kids to implement healthy habits! Bonus: they’re easy to open and even my newly turned 5 year old can open the packaging by herself.
Stride Rite
I swear, there has to be some kind of record for how fast my kids outgrow their shoes every couple of months, do any other moms feel the same?! We all know back to school shopping would not be complete without some new, well fitting kicks! Honey picked out these Stride Rite Light-up Glimmer Sneakers (I’m pretty sure the name alone describes our girl to a T!) to start kinder at her new school!! They are so fun and she loves that with each step (and jump!) the light up outsole displays brightly. The inside of these cuties also are made of memory foam, so I know she is comfortable and supported throughout the day. She’s able to independently put them on every morning thanks to the easy oversized on-off opening the shoe features. Right now, Stride Rite is offering my readers $10 off $70 or more with the code BBRITE10 now thru 2/1/23. Some exclusions apply.
Heroes of Goo Jit Zu
When the boys get home from school, I make sure they have some free play time since they’ve just been at school working hard for 7 hours. These Heroes of Goo Jit Zu Goo Shifters packs have been an interactive and engaging way for them to play together once they’re done with school for the day! If you’re new here, our boys actually participate in Jiu Jitsu 3 nights a week, so these squishy heroes are definitely right up their alley!!!! Each hero has a “goo formation” power core that allows for a one time burst experience, which then releases a fun color into the body! What’s really cool is there is NO mess and they can squish it around to their heart’s desire!!!! You can bet that this is definitely Mama Approved since there’s no mess for me to clean up! Each heroes body is very stretchy and the imaginative play is endless (I love that my boys still enjoy this, even as they get older!). There are seven Goo Shifters for your little one to collect!
Standard Process Children & Adult Supplements
A huge concern for me with the kids going back to school every year is germs. I know it’s something that’s going to happen but if I can do my best to keep them at bay by supporting our immune systems, then I’m going to do just that! Assisting us in that this year is the NEW SP Children’s Immune chewable supplement. It is a daily supplement for supporting kids’ immune systems that we are really thrilled about this academic year! The NEW chewable is made from whole food-based ingredients, including beet root, and is gluten free and non-soy. We give each kiddo (who’s over 4 years old) one tablet twice per day. Along with getting a good night’s sleep and eating well, I have the peace of mind knowing this supplement a great choice to deliver key nutrients for proper immune system functioning and development. The folks at SP were also kind enough to send a bottle of the Immuplex adult supplements for my husband and I, which we are really excited about using this year to support the entire household’s immune system!
I hope you’ve found some items that you and your kids can benefit or enjoy from this blog post! Make sure you check out my latest reel on IG which shows more of an ‘in real life’ look at these products! Wishing you all a successful, healthy, and happy back to school season!
