Hi friends! Can you BELIEVE that it’s time for Back to School? We’re in full on school supply, backpack shopping, lunchbox buying, clothes shopping mode because our boys’ first day of school is right around the corner. This year I have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartner…ahhh! I can hardly believe it. And if you follow my boys on Instagram then you know that we’re big fans of Gymboree. Check it out…

How CUTE is that?! If you loved some of those looks and what we’re sharing today, be sure to stick around to the end for a GIVEAWAY! Now let’s get down to it and show you a few of the pieces that our boys picked out…

First up – Mr. AJ. He’s our big 2nd grader this year and I think he’s looking forward to being the big man on campus with his little bro starting Kindergarten. AJ loves pizza, the color brown, playing video games, eating chocolate and wants to be a fire fighter when he grows up.

One of my favorite things about this boy is his work ethic. He has the odds stacked against him but he continues to amaze us with how smart he is and how hard he works! And if you know him, you know that he is just the sweetest thing around. He has such a good heart, he’s the ultimate big brother!

Before we move on to Alex, can I tell you how much I freaked out when I saw him in this Gymboree Varsity Jacket? I mean he looks like he’s all ready for high school and this mama isn’t anywhere near ready for that. What a big boy he’s becoming!

And then we have Mr. Alex aka Mr. Personality. He’s starting Kindergarten this year and I am equally excited and anxious. I think it’s a good thing we added another baby to the mix or else I’d be a hot mess I’m sure. Alex loves spaghetti, the color gold, playing with dinosaurs, eating cake and wants to be a Shark Biologist when he grows up. We can thank Shark Week for that one.

This little guy can talk your ear off but man, he’s got one killer smile. He gets in his fair share of trouble but always seems to wiggle his way out of trouble with a grin and a hug. Yes, he has mama wrapped around his little finger.

I love to layer the looks that Gymboree has to offer. I love that their entire line is so cohesive that when you put it all together you have one adorable ensemble! The Varsity Jacket Alex is wearing is just too cute – those buttons and cardigan style are a perfect match for his personality.

So these boys are loaded up with Gymboree favorites and ready to hit the books! They wanted to make sure that I conveyed that The Every Wear Pants are amazing – the softest pants ever! They even asked if they could wear them to bed. So I think we’ll be adding a few more of those to their wardrobe come fall time.

  5. My favorite moment was “who you talkin’ to poochie!” makes me think of the nicknames my family calls me!

  6. What a cute video! My favorite moment is the little girl that says “who you talkin’ to poochie” while jumping on the trampoline!

  7. The math homework comment brings back some interesting memories. Luckily, I have one tool that my parents didn’t have and that is the internet.

  9. I love where the little boy in the background steps on the sir popper and then can not find where it went in the air. This is so classic of what would happen to my kids.

  10. the little girl commenting about the nickname her parents call her at home, leave at home was hilarious

  17. Looking at all the cute outfits in the video, I loved the cute purple dress with horses on it and khaki vest the little girl with dark hair was wearing.

  22. Such a cute video.. I like it when the boy says I might say I am going to make my lunch but don’t let me make my lunch

  24. My favorite part was the little girl in blue who said “… and don’t hold my hand if you have to walk me in!”

    Reply

  26. Your boys look so handsome! I loved the BTS video. It was so cute. I really liked how the kids were telling the parents their “rules.

    Reply

  27. Hahahah I love this video because my son reminds me of some of these kids, I like the part with the boy who says “I might say I want to make my lunch, but Dont let me make my lunch!”

    Reply

  29. Oh the outfits are all so adorable for back to school! I loved the little boy in the back playing with the airplane! So carefree and having fun! 🙂

  30. I loved the girl jumping on the trampoline saying ‘who you talkin to poochie’ because it reminded me of my 2-year old daughter when she jumps on her trampoline. Sassy!

  32. I like the cutie boys comment “Summer is over, O-V-E-R” but the little girl who says to please not hold her hand when her parents walk her in…that’s so sad. She, well really all of them, are still so young. A lot of kids don’t feel that way until they start hearing that it’s a “problem”. It makes me sad to see companies directed at children encourage them to feel that way. I see it as they’re making them grow up too fast lol. But anyway, thanks for a great giveaway!

  42. The “who you talkin’ to Poochie” was cute, and all the kids were cute and funny, but really, I was thinking “What cute outfits!” I would love to win and go shopping with a gift card! I have always loved Gymboree’s clothes for my kids. Thanks for the giveaway.

  43. Just letting you know that your tweet on the giveaway form says the gift card is $500, not $50. I corrected my tweet before I sent it, but it is pre-written as $500. Thanks again for the giveaway!

  46. They are such cute little kids and outfits. I liked the girls dresses, and would pick out some for my girls.

    Reply

  47. “Things are about to get REAL”! LOL! And “Please don’t hold my hand if you HAVE to walk me in!”.

    Reply

  48. Favorite part was little boy saying “I may tell you to make my lunch but don’t let me make my lunch”. I had to laugh because my son always wants independence but always default to “mom can you do this for me” LOL.

    Reply

  50. My favorite part is the girl who says to leave the nicknames at home. My favorite outfit is the boys in the background shooting a rocket.

  55. Your boys look so cute and ready to take on their first day of school! I love the layering you did with the button down and the jacket, too cute! Thanks for sharing the ideas!

    Reply

  57. I can so relate to the comment “Don’t let me make my own lunch”, lol! If it was up to my son there wouldn’t be a shred of freshness in his lunches. Don’t get me wrong he loves fruits, veggies, and real food in general but if he had to pack it there would be pre-packaged goods galore (they are pretty convenient).
