Budget Back To School Kid's Wardrobe
Ok, let’s be honest, the upcoming school year is a complete and total wild
card. 
Some of us know what the plan is for our families and some of us don’t. Some
of us are reaching way out of our comfort zones to homeschool and some of us
are reaching way out to send our kids back in person. 
No matter the decisions for the 2020-2021 school year, I do know one
thing: 

our kids spent the summer growing right out of their clothes.

Truly, my kids grown like weeds and even if we don’t go back to school in
person, I always stock them up on basics at the end of the Summer. 
Each year,
I’m really excited to partner with Walmart for my Back To School post because
my kids truly wear the
Wonder Nation line of
clothing all year long.

For Gray, who does have a very loose school dress code, we stock up on
tees, polos,
shorts and the amazing
reinforced knee pants in
basic colors.
 I take his tees and polos to a local monogrammer to add his
initials in contrasting colors – and some head to my mother in law for fun
stitched decals with his name and fave things.

(peep that $4 polo from
last year!)
I actually went through his drawers recently to pull out the things he’s
outgrown and it was clear to me that all of his Wonder Nation gear is still in
perfect shape. I
 would guess each piece has been washed and worn hundreds of
times over the past year and each has held up perfectly. If he wasn’t growing
like a weed, we wouldn’t need to stock up as much! 

As a boy mom, I have to mention that the pants and shorts each have adjustable
waists and the pants have
reinforced knees, built in stain repellent and are wrinkle free. 

If you have a
rough and tumble one, you’re going to want these pants. I’m always thankful
for the adjustable waist because Gray is super slender but needs the length –
so we’re able to spare him from high waters and just cinch that waist
in.

All of the Wonder Nation line is tag free, which is perfect for sensory babes
or those who just can’t stand that itch. Honestly, it’s the little things and
the tagless tees in super soft cotton really make us happy. 
There is also a
pair of pants that is
pull on with a draw string waist, which means no one is fumbling with a zipper
and button fly.

For Georgia, I meet her current fashion requests of “twirly” dresses and “pants” under them. She must always have a layer under her dresses so
I’ve convinced her
that these little shorts from Walmart are indeed “pants” so she doesn’t expire in the North Carolina
heat. 

I also love that they protect her modesty as she is full tilt, full
twirl, all the time.

The dresses we grab for her are soft, easy and perfect for school crafts and
play. She’s comfy and can twirl and her dresses can take many after school
washes. 
If you’re avoiding in person shopping, Walmart offers curbside pickup and 2
day delivery on tons of items 
– we’re big two day delivery fans around
here!
