Back-to-School with Gap +$25 Gap Card Giveaway!

When I was younger I loved back-to-school shopping.  I was always concerned about how the clothes I would buy and the way I would dress would determine the way that my friends and teachers would view me.  I wanted to be cute, yet friendly, and sophisticated.  I wanted to look welcoming towards new friends!  My mom just hoped and prayed that the clothes she bought me would last all year.

What is a mom to do these days? So much more emphasis is placed these days on what you’re wearing and how it looks vs. the overall durability and cost effectiveness.  You can walk into a store and spend $80 on one sweater, only to have it be worn twice and get ruined on the playground.  Or you could go completely the other direction and spend $80 on an entire wardrobe from bargain-bin stores that might make your child unsure of their wardrobe and less confident of their style.


Gap offers a great balance between those two options.  They offer style, sophistication, durability, and affordability!  It’s not so often that you find an amazing store that can deliver on all of those needs. Gap_Cute_Outfits

Your children will be happy that they can be ‘seen’ at the mall shopping in one of the *cool* stores and you are happy because you’re getting the high-quality, durable, but aesthetically pleasing outfits at a great price!

GapKids and babyGap have an awesome new line of clothing that makes your shopping choices that much easier!  The Portobello Road Collection is an amazingly cute, yet sophisticated look that will surely catch yours and your children’s attention!

    I like the fact that the kids stay busy. During the summer it is hard to keep them entertained because even trips to the park and to the library, only take out so many hours and when we come home they are bored again.

  9. shelly says

    I like back to school b/c I don’t have to keep trying to find things to keep my child entertained all day. By the end of the summer, I hear I’m bored way too much.

  12. Marilyn Wons says

    My favorite part of back-to-school time is after the first week when things start to get in a pattern around the house!

  47. Geoff K says

    My favorite part of back-to-school time is meeting all the new teachers and hearing about the start of football season and marching band, which brings back great memories from my own school days. I also love the nervous anticipation of the first day and the excitement of hearing about the new classes and experiences the kids have. Thanks!
