Adieu to Summer...Fun Gear for Fall

It's getting down to the wire.  Those last few summer days where you can feel children and adults alike savoring the longer evenings, lingering outside on the porch and in the sprinklers a bit longer, and arranging for those last few summer dates, plans, and sleepovers.  Ahhh, it's kind of bittersweet, isn't it?  I've always loved summer, but August for me always brought mixed feelings.  Really basking in the summer sun and warm evenings for as long as I could and keeping the thought of work and homework out of my mind, but also feeling a twinge of excitement as the fall drew near.  If any of you have similar feelings, I've found some fun things to help you revel in your final summer days and nights.  
Melissa & Doug has some whimsical and pretty outdoor exploring gear, which I found at Whole Foods in Walnut Creek.  Here are a few of my favorites for outdoor exploring and adventuring.  Check out their website for a more goodies (super reasonably priced too)!

Butterfly Bubbles... how fun!

Melissa & Doug have been around since 1988 and have some really wonderful products ranging from arts & crafts to dollhouses to classroom supplies.  Toys are great, but I always have extra appreciation for an educational and well designed one.  Also on display at Whole Foods are some great things by Crocodile Creek.  I love these doodle and art pads.  How fun are these for party favors?



If you're in the market for some ballerina back to school gear, be sure to check out Crocodile Creek's website.  They have some really cute ballerina backpacks, lunch totes and waterbottles.  Going back to school shouldn't be so bad if you've got great ballerina gear right?  Here's wishing you wonderful summer days and nights, enjoy them for all they're worth!
