Back to School with OshKosh B'gosh

Here in Chicago, it's the last week before school, and you can feel the heaviness in the air as children citywide bemoan the early wake-ups and homework filled weeks. However, my little ones are all excited.  They are looking forward to learning more about the weather, more bugs, and anything else they deem interesting. I'm just trying to make sure that my babies will be fully clothed for our field trips, and that I won't commit the cardinal sin of not making sure that they sign off of clothing BEFORE I purchase it. One of these days I'll tell you about #overallgate from a couple of years ago. Good thing OshKosh B'gosh has SO many styles, because I couldn't take another scandal with Lil' Miss.

Believe it or not, they even enjoy getting dressed for the day. I'm talking full garb, and shoes.  Shoes WITH socks people! They put it all on. And then of course we get to the second week, and we go back to homeschooling in undies and socks. Reality hits hard around these parts.

Given that you can combine all of their coupon codes (like the OKBG3136 for 25% off your oder) to your online orders, and that discount can be combined with great low prices for back to school time. Seriously, you should go and check it out. I'll wait right here until you get back. Now that you're back, and ready to finish reading, you can also find the OshKosh B'gosh store nearest you

My girls are all about skirts and dresses. They love being able to have the freedom to twirl, and still climb trees. Cartwheeling and running free, but still having bright colors that make them feel a little bit girly, as told to me by Lil Miss. We're still working on correct sitting position while wearing a skirt, but I'm of the let them live camp, so I don't always push the envelope. Who can blame them for climbing trees and flipping all over the place when they have soft cotton maxi skirts and comfortable shirts? Lil' Miss and her dance moves are free to be! And the ladybug can climb as many trees as she wants while styling and profiling!

Not to be outdone, Sir Twizzler, is quite at home in denim and a tee. Mom and dad tend to add a button up shirt over just to finish it off. I'm also very happy that the pants have the adjustable belts inside because my babiest of babies may have long legs, but his waist is relatively lean. It's so irritating to find a pair of pants that fits lengthwise, but fall down constantly. Using safety pins like we did back in the day would be dangerous on the likes of Sir Twizzler. I can only imagine one popping open while he's running around, or flipping, or jumping off of stairs, or rolling down hills. It's always a party with Sir Twizzler, and I will always want to be invited.

Don't let the reserved demeanor in this photo fool you. He's spunky, and I wouldn't want him any other way. Good thing his clothes will last as long as his spunkiness does. I know when I see that label on his shirt, or his pants, or his overalls (he happened to LIKE the overalls I purchased for him, unlike his twin sister, thankyouverymuch) they'll last longer than he can fit them.

  1. My favorite first day memories were when we would get to find out our class lists for the year. We would get to see which friends were in our classes and it was an exciting time for us.

  2. My best memory of my girls going to school is when my oldest was headed to 2nd grade and my youngest was staying home. As I was taking pictures of my 2nd grader, my youngest jumps in the picture and looks at her sister with these eyes that say, "I'm going to miss you." It was truly a sweet moment. 🙂

  3. So, true story: On the first day of the sixth grade- in a new school, at that-, I wore an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT (to me) floral jumpsuit. Skintight. Neon floral. My bangs were higher than the Hancock, and I KNEW I looked good. The very first girl I spoke to in homeroom shyly asked me where I shopped, and later became one of my best friends in the whole world. She eventually became one of my bridesmaids and, at the wedding, spoke of my stellar fashion sense. In all legit honesty. Because #truefriend.

  4. Back to school......... Prayer, uniform, wipes, kleenex, 2 outfits for mishaps, hand sanitizer, hugs, kisses and of course TEARS! Mommy don't cry its okay! My Sugar Pop is growing up yall! I'm happy! Off to work Promise has an agenda. See you mommy ok!..... She is with her little peers! WOW!

  5. The new clothes. my favorite back-to-school memories consist of corduroy and turtlenecks! I remember shopping and being so excited to wear new things.

  6. My first memory of school was my first day going to kindergarten. I met a little girl named Sarah who was 5. I was only 4 but I was allowed to attend. School was a paradise to me and i loved going.

  7. My favorite first day of school had to be this year when both of my babies were at the same school together. they were both so excited to see each other throughout the day and it warmed my heart to know that they would be able to look out for one another.

  8. Packing my lunch with my mom the night before school and picking out my special 1st day of school outfit..great memories.

  9. I love seeing the kids all excited to wear their new clothes for school. It helps them feel super pumped instead of all nervs on the first day.
