The month of September brings the lazy days of Summer to an end and ushers in back to school madness. There are new backpacks to buy, school supplies to be collected and healthy lunches to be made.

When it comes to school shopping I try to focus on the staples, but always leave a little room for fun accessories that can help make mornings (and the overall organizational process) easier. Day of the Week underwear are both practical and fun.

Some "Days of the Week" Underwear ($16) don't have dates printed on them, while others do. Either way, your kindergartener will have a set of underwear for the week, learn the importance of doing laundry and possibly learn to spell while getting dressed.
