Back to School, a term that we love as parents and that my kids love too. Don’t get me wrong, we love summer vacation, but we love the excitement of Back to School…new clothes, new school supplies, new shoes, new backpack, activities starting again. Back to School feels like the birth of a new year and it is, a new school year.
We mark tradition of our new school year with a new height mark on the wall with the grade marked beside it. We also take a picture the first day of school and the last day of school in the front garden.
Of course before that mark on the wall and that picture can be taken, there is a ton of shopping to be done.
As a kid, I loved Back to School shopping. I loved all the new stuff, whether it was crayons or shirts. As a Mom, I still love the excitement of getting the new clothes and supplies. The size larger in clothes for my Little One makes me realize, she is growing up. The school supplies, marks her learning, growing and developing as a little person. I get that happy/sad feeling where you are proud of your Little One that is growing up, but sad at the same time because your Little One is growing up!
Let’s face it though, it isn’t always fun and games when we set off shopping with our kids! There can be demands for the “cool,” “in,” and “name brand” products. There is also dealing with the “I want this” attitude versus the “I need” reality. The pressures on the family budget and pocket book can be overwhelming at times.
As a mom, I want to purchase clothes that my kids will actually where. There is nothing more frustrating than new clothes sitting in a closet and never being wore. So what I need is style the kids will love at a price that I can afford. Where did we turn to for Back to School shopping this year? Sears Canada was the answer for us.
What I love about Sears Canada is their KidVantage.

My Little One was so excited with her Back to School Shopping at Sears Canada because they had all her favorite characters. My Little One loves The Bubble Guppies, Barbie, Sophia The First, and of course Hello Kitty. My Little One loved trying the clothes on feeling oh so pretty in her new stuff. I loved the prices and savings for character items.
