Yesterday, I wrote more about our summer homeschooling journey, as school has not yet officially started for our school district for the new academic year. We still have a few weeks left to continue getting ready for a successful year which does include shopping for clothes since the boys have both sprouted like weeds over the summer. They each went at least one size up.
The great thing about having boys is that if I save the clothes long enough, my youngest eventually grows into what my oldest son has grown out of. However, I try not to make a habit of that because they are each their own person with different taste in clothes and style.
And, while I know moms with multiple children or those who are on a budget are cringing at that statement, have no worries. I do save some of the better, more classic pieces like Jeans and Sportswear.
Columbia Sportswear
Speaking of Sportswear, I want to share with you my son’s recent snag which is the Boys’ Steens Mountain™ II Fleece Jacket. It’s black and lined with a pop of blue.What I love about this jacket is that it’s perfect for fall weather and transitioning into winter.
Each year, the boys get a fleece jacket because it’s a nice staple to have in your wardrobe. It goes with almost anything and is lightweight yet still keeps you cozy and warm.
This jacket in particular features zippered hand pockets, comfort stretch cuffs, and the Columbia patch logo. While we have the jacket in a Boys Large, it is available in other sizes, as well as for Girls and Toddlers.
Save Money Using Promo Codes
The great thing about Sportswear at Columbia is that you can save substantially by using Slickdeals. So, for all of the moms that are doing a little shopping for back to school, consider using Slickdeals. Slickdeals is a company that offers great deals and coupons for your most loved items, such as Columbia.
Columbia not only offers Sportswear that both of the boys enjoy, but they also make really nice quality backpacks. And you know the drill, every year, going back to school usually consists of a new backpack.
Columbia Backpacks
There are two Columbia backpacks that caught my eyes this year, which was a solid black one with white trim and the thyme green with black trim and details.
I figured that the black one would be a great fit for my youngest son because it is a bit smaller and matches with his black fleece jacket and winter coat. And, with the thyme green one, I figured it would be ideal for my oldest son because it’s larger in size and gives him some color variation for his wardrobe.
I appreciate that these backpacks are sturdy enough to not only hold books for school, but they also make great overnight camping bags for when we go camping. If you are interested in searching for these backpacks in Slickdeals, know that there are coupons that go with these, as well.
Final Thoughts
If you are looking to do some back to school shopping like many parents are, have a look at Columbia for some of their classic items such as fleece jackets and backpacks, just don’t forget to save yourself some money by using the Slickdeals app.
