Can you believe that it is time to think about Back-to-School shopping? This year is a big one for our girl, Kai. She is heading off to Kindergarten! I may be slightly freaking out! Where did my baby go?! We are soaking up every ounce of this last summer with her before she officially starts school. It has been a much-needed fun-filled summer for everyone after last year. Everyone is excited and nervous for the upcoming school year! We have a countdown calendar set up to mark the occasion! As much as the thought of sending her off to school all day has me already tearing up, I want to make sure she is prepared once it does start.

I have such fond memories of going back to school shopping with my parents and the best part was getting to pick out brand new shoes! Nothing beats the feeling of getting to walk into ‘big kid’ school with new shoes.  Our favorite place to stock up on affordable name brand shoes is at DSW!  They have the best selection for everyone in the whole family. 

With school starting in Fall, Kai picked out these fun Dr. Marten 1460 boots. I could not let her have all the fun and so I got myself a fun white pair of Dr. Marten 1460 boots to coordinate with her! The boots are so trendy and comfortable. Since it is still hot here, I love wearing the boots with dresses. I love how the boots can easily transition from Fall to Winter too so win-win on being able to wear it for longer than one season.  I want to make sure she walks in with confidence and these boots for sure will do the trick! With Kai rocking these boots, she is ready to take on Kindergarten by storm!

We cannot leave out the boys! Bodhi will be in daycare so he will need comfy shoes that will also hold up well. Vans Asher Slip-On Sneakers are the best! It is so easy for him to slip them on and go! Vans also has matching adult Asher Slip-On’s, so Kevin got in on the fun too! They give off skater boy vibes so of course Kevin had to show off his skills! 

DSW has such a great selection and a wide range of styles and sizes for everyone. From 7/16 through 7/31, you can get $10 off a purchase of $49 or more on select items with the promo code JOYFULLY10 (exclusions apply).
