Back to school means a lot of things for moms of older children – like a little more quiet around the house – but for moms of preschoolers and those just starting school, it can also mean a bit of apprehension – have we provided them with the solid foundation that they need to be successful in school? This is where educational toys like those from LeapFrog come in perfectly. LeapFrog provides fun, entertaining ways for toddlers, preschoolers, and young children to learn the very ideas that will set them up well for school, but in the comfort of their own home or even on the go.

Monogrammed Tote by Grateful Bags

Daily Mom Parents Portal Holiday 2018 Grateful Handbags 1 Rs

All moms eventually reach the point when they’re ready to trade in their diaper bag for something a little less maternal. While you may still need all the functionality of a diaper bag for everyday use, carrying one into your next parent-teacher conference is overkill.

Daily Mom Parents Portal Holiday 2018 Grateful Handbags 2 RsDaily Mom Parents Portal Holiday 2018 Grateful Handbags 3 Rs

Grateful is a line of handbags with a patented concept of interchangeable monograms. These classically designed bags come in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors; but what makes these bags so special is that the acrylic monograms can snap on and off to fit whatever look you’re going for. You can get one monogram for several handbags or several monograms to change up the look of a single purse.

The Abbey is a great option for mom featuring a sleek faux leather tote with a spacious interior. The top zips closed with plenty of pockets to keep you organized. One outside zip pocket, one inside zip pocket, and two inside open pockets.

Meanwhile, if you love college sports or have a kid going to college this year, be sure to check out the Zoey cross body bags.

Hello Oral Care

Hello Oral Care is safe for kids 6 and older. For the younger crowd, they have their naturally flavored and fluoride-free watermelon, bubblegum, and blue raspberry toothpaste. For the older kids, 12 and above, they have their charcoal fluoride free whitening toothpaste which is naturally flavored with coconut oil and mint. The black color of the toothpaste makes it kind of fun to brush, too!
