Back to School with Crocs | More Than Just Clogs

Back to School with Crocs | More Than Just Clogs Crocs courtesy of Crocs for review purposes only. All opinions are my own.

Back to School with Litter Free Lunch Boxes

Back to School with Litter Free Lunch Boxes We received two Litter Free Lunch Boxes for review purposes only. All opinions are 100% my own.

Back to School with Gymboree Children’s Clothing I received a Gymboree gift card to shop with. All opinions are my own. Back to School time means purchasing the typical items like pencils, crayons, markers and paper. It also means time to buy new clothes that actually fit the kids and to send them back with a fresh start. Gymboree has always been one of my first stops when shopping for clothing for Emma and Ethan. This Pizza Shark Tee is … [Read more...]
