I can’t believe we’re already talking about heading back to school but here we are. Blake still stays at home, but Four started preschool last year at a school near our house. He’s absolutely loved it, and has so many new friends!

Even though Four has been in some camps this summer, I like to go into the new school year with some new items that make him excited for the year ahead.

I always like to use back to school as an excuse to find some fall shoes for both kiddos. You might’ve seen my recent post about my favorite kids shoes. I love having a nice pair of loafers for Four and a set of tennis shoes. Right now, my go-to sneakers for him are these Chuck Taylor sneakers.

I also buy a new backpack each year. Bonus points if it can be monogrammed. How cute is this backpack from Pottery Barn Kids? Obsessed.

When it comes to clothes, I like to get a few basic items like pants, a cute sweatshirt (again with the monogram), and some socks.

I’ve linked everything I’m planning to buy for back to school below. You can check out more of my back-to-school finds on my Amazon storefront.
