We can feel Fall just around the corner. As our days fill up with school, activities and homework, I am into maximizing fun and minimizing the mundane wherever possible. That may mean adding a cool graphic hoodie, patterned sneakers or a retro ski jacket to the mix. An out-of-the-ordinary cup at meal time or small set of blocks in an unexpected spot, like a bathroom, can bring a playful element to the norm. Comfort and ease also lead to big smiles. A pair of Birkenstocks, these cord baggie pants and a combo backpack/lunchbox top my list. For my 18-month-old, who is on the move as much as I am, this YBike Pewi is a favorite find.
