Ve Geat Backpacks

Hi Moms. So I'm thinking about getting an LL Bean Rolling original backpack for both my boys (7 and 4) for school this year. I hear they have great quality and if anything happens to it you can exchange it for a new one. I'm wondering about others experiences with it for lasting through the school year and the summer for camp (and how many years it usually lasts). Also wondering about the weight of it (4lbs6 oz) and how, if at all, that affected your kids. I'm thinking since both boys are driven to school and they can wheel it into...

Questions Regarding Daughter Starting Kindergarten

My daughter is starting kindergarten this fall and I have a few questions for moms of 1st or 2nd grade girls. This may seem strange but what kind of backpacks and lunch kits did most of the girls carry? I know she would probably like another "princess" or character backpack, but I'm wondering at what age is that not "cool" anymore. I certainly don't want her to feel left out and I already know that if everyone else has something different, she is going to want me to buy something different (and since hubby lost his job, that's not an...

Getting a Start on Christmas Gifts - Handmade for Little Kids

I'd love some ideas for gifts I can make for my three girls for Christmas. I'm trying to be more economical this year (we spent a total of $300 for the girls combined last year) and still give them quality things. I am acquiring a sewing machine in the coming months. I consider myself pretty crafty but have a hard time coming up with ideas. Thanks in advance!

Preparing for First Grade

Hi Moms, My son will be starting first grade in September and I'm trying to prepare for it. We home schooled for Grade K because we didn't have public K in our town last year - we live in NH. So this is all new to us. What will my son need to go to school - a backpack, lunch box, pencils, rulers, pens, notebooks? I don't know where to begin. Do 6 year olds need a backpack? What's a good one - something from LL Bean? What kind of lunch boxes work best? Do I supply him with pencils and erasers? Do first graders use pens? What about markers...
