***Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B’Gosh. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.*** School starts here in NE Ohio in just a few days. This summer truly flew by at lightning speed, don't you agree? I have to be honest, I am ready for the summer to be over. It's been a very eventful season, and not in a good way. Hoping that a change of season will bring some positive things with it.
Anyway, now that a new academic year is upon us, it's time for parents to grab all of their kids' school supplies, shoes, and of course, clothing! Now this can be a horrible process, involving crowds of impatient shoppers and shelves that seem to be out of everything you need. It seems our local stores can't keep things like binders and pencils in stock. (Happen to anyone else?) Thankfully, getting our back to school clothing and shoes has been pretty painless. We went shopping at our local OshKosh B'Gosh outlet store, and we scored some absolutely amazing deals on the hottest looks for fall!

This fall, poor little Xander is being left behind. You see, not only is Kyle heading back to school, Sophie is starting Kindergarten. Poor Xander will be all on his own, and will be the only kid in the house that isn't in school yet. Honestly, he doesn't seem to mind. I'm in no hurry for him to grow up either, to be completely honest.
Anyway, since Sophie and Kyle are getting brand new back to school clothing and shoes, we're picking these things up for Xander, too. Why should he be left out? He may not be heading to classes, but there's always room for new fall fashion! One of my favorite brands for boys' shoes has got to be Florsheim Kids. This brand offers stylish, high quality shoes for boys and young men. (There's also Florsheim, which offers men's styles!) Florsheim Kids has shoes that are perfect for any occasion from play dates to school, or even fancier functions like weddings or the Holidays. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review.

Back to school season is upon us, folks! Are you ready?
This year, my oldest will be a Sophomore in high school. (How did that even happen?!) And Sophie, my middle child, will be starting Kindergarten. Xander, my youngest, is right behind her, since he's only a year younger. This season, I wanted to get Sophie some shoes that are not only adorable, but can also withstand the use and abuse of very active little children. Of course Xander gets a pair, too, by default. It's only fair, since his siblings get new shoes for school this time of year. Anyway, my kids are monkeys that love to climb, run, jump, and play. I have to be honest, I sometimes have a hard time keeping up with them, especially if I haven't had my coffee. Their new shoes from Umi Children's Shoes will definitely be able to endure, without coffee, too! Because...well...shoes, unlike exhausted mothers, don't need coffee to function! The awesome folks at Umi sent us a couple pairs of shoes from their new Fall 2015 line to check out for ourselves. I have been a HUGE fan of this brand for quite some time, so I knew I would be delighted by the quality and style of these shoes. Of course, I wasn't disappointed! Seriously, this brand rocks my socks. Depending on a visitor's budget, dining in Paris may include a meal at some of the world's most expensive restaurants. However, most people who visit the city are not inclined to frequent the priciest eateries on the planet. For individuals and families that are planning a trip to Paris but are on a more limited budget, the city boasts ample opportunities for visitors to have good food at low prices.
Le Petit Cleric A value restaurant that shares owners with La Fontaine de Mars, Le Petit Cleric offers open-face sandwiches, omelets, salads, and more at reasonable prices. On Tuesdays, the restaurant offers roast veal for 12.50 Euros. Each day, there is a meat special at the same price. The meat is served with a potato and salad. Frenchie-to-Go Renowned Chef Gregory Marchard offers takeaway and dine-in options at this casual bistro. Reuben, pulled pork sandwiches, fish and chips, cheesecake and homemade ginger beer are highlights of the menu. Prices average around 15 Euros. L'as du Falafel Those who are looking for a change from typical French food can head to the Fourth Arrondissement for tasty falafel at approximately six Euros. This place tends to draw a crowd; however the line moves relatively quickly. Breizh Cafe Also located in the Fourth Arrondissement, Breizh Cafe serves up deliciously affordable crepes that have even been described as being ranked among the best in the city. A savory crepe will run approximately eight Euros. Bistrot Victoires For affordable French food, budget travelers may visit Bistrot Victoires. In addition to having a cozy atmosphere, prices are relatively low with impressive salads at around nine Euros. Krishna Bhavan Low cost Indian food is well within reach in Paris. Customers at Krishna Bhavan may enjoy a main, side, and drink for a mere 10 Euros. This Indian eatery is located in the 10th Arrondissement. Big Ferdinand When craving a burger on a budget, Big Ferdinand is the place to go. Customers are able to craft their own burgers, which start at seven Euros. Cheese may be added for two Euros and vegetables are available for 1.5 Euros. Signature combos consisting of a specialty burger, fries, and a drink, can be had for 14 Euros. Adding dessert will bring the total to 16 Euros. Verjus Wine Bar Groups of budget-conscious travelers can share small plates similar to tapas at Verjus. The food is an eclectic mix of cuisines and range from four to seven Euros per plate. Wine is available by the glass and ranges from 5 to 12 Euros. Eating inexpensively in Paris was once a challenge. Fortunately, many new restaurant owners are aiming to introduce a variety of new cuisines and concepts to offer high-quality food and dining experiences to travelers who are more savings-oriented. As a result, visitors to the famed European city may enjoy traditional French cuisine, more exotic foods from around the world, and even dishes that remind them of home. When combined with using discount websites to find the most affordable hotels in Paris, researching local restaurants can be an excellent way to keep costs low when traveling to the city. This article was contributed by Fiona Moriarty of Hipmunk, the most comprehensive travel search website allowing you to find the best deals on anything from flights and hotels to train rides and Homeaway rentals.

Back to School season is in full swing. For parents, that means a lot of scrambling to make sure their kids have all of the supplies, clothing, and gear they will need to have a successful start to a new academic year.
For parents of teens, this might also mean dealing with kids who may be embarrassed to return to school because their hormones have taken over and acne has reared its ugly head. I remember those years, don't you? There's nothing worse than being an awkward teen, walking into the school and feeling like all eyes are on your face, but not for the right reasons. Confidence is so important, especially for teens. They want to feel like they fit in, and let's face it, no one wants to be bullied. My 15 year old, Kyle, will be a Sophomore this year. How is that even possible?! Anyway, Kyle definitely shows a lot of concern about his complexion. He tends to get breakouts on his face, back, and chest, and he is very self-conscious about it. I want him to be able to put his best face forward as he starts the new school year, so I decided to give him the gift of Exposed Skin Care. Back to School with PedipedPediped is excited about their new Fall Back to School styles! In addition, they are launching a great new school initiative! Read Momma Lew's review and find out moreHERE.
