Nye starts back at Pre School next week. I’m kind of excited, I like the feeling of prepping for a new start. However, I’m not really looking forward to Neil returning to work as September rolls on in. It’s been a lovely six weeks together, full of trips to family and friends, then topped off by our holiday to the Isle of Wight.
This weekend we’re busy trying to get all the odd jobs around the house done whilst we have a few more days. I’m busy packing bags, and filling the fridge with things suitable for a packed lunch. I saw this Debenhams back to school competition on Mellow Mummy‘s blog and loved the idea of picking things which would be perfect for as a Back to School kit. I was just talking to a friend today who was saying she had picked out a pre school uniform set, ready for Pre School’s paint and mud.
We started by looking at T-shirts, there were so many to choose from that it was really hard but Nye really loved the stripes on this Gruffalo one, paired with the green trousers its fun, comfy and practical as they won’t show up dirty marks.
And for Nye, a perfect Back to School look has to include layers to put on and off depending on the weather. Waterproof overalls to keep dry outside, and then wellies that are easy to pull on and off. Then we finished off the look with a spare hoodie to throw on and a very cute pair of converse, perfect for exploring indoors.

Love this – a great mix of practical and fun. The all-in-one waterproof is a great idea. At Lara’s school they spend A LOT of time outside in all weathers. Thanks for entering.
