Nira’s Hot List Contributed by Virgin Radio Morning Show Co-Host Nira Arora | @niraarora
Back to School Basics
It’s August and we are starting to prepare for what’s around the corner – back to school time! If you're a parent then you know—life is constantly on the go. I'm a working mom of three littles. I used to think my life was busy… but after becoming a mom, it's next level! It's fun, but it's hard. It’s amazing, but it's hard. It’s ridiculously rewarding, but it's hard. And now with everything that’s happening in the world… it’s even harder!
When I think of back to school, it’s not just about the kids. Here are a few back to school basics that can help alleviate some of the fuss and add some fun! In this month’s Hot List, I’m sharing a few parenting essentials that just might make life a little bit easier for you as a parent on the go!
Mabel's Labels
Label everything! Seriously–no joke. Your kids have this innate desire to leave their belongings anywhere and everywhere. I realized this once preschool started–labeling is the key. Everything you buy for kids is already expensive, but when you have to buy the same thing a second time, it’s next-level annoying.
I found Mabel’s Labels–pre-made labels with your children's names. They come on adhesive sticker-like labels that you can use on their clothes, toys, shoes, hats, gloves, water bottles, thermoses, and even chargers. (Strange I know, but they go missing too!)
For anything that could possibly need a label, Mabel's Labels work. Plus, you can throw your items in the wash and microwave with the labels on them. Pure lifesaver!
These labels aren't just for the kiddies, either. I printed some off with my name on them as well. Do you ever lend something out and then forget that you lent it? Yes–classic Nira! I’m just now hoping that if I’ve my name on it it will eventually get back to me!
These labels are a time and life saver!
Sisu Kids’ Cold & Flu Rescue
It’s always best to be ahead of the game! We know what happens for back to school—its a good idea to be prepared. Sisu kid’s Cold & Flu Rescue offers fast and effective relief from cold-and-flu symptoms. With a delicious natural wildberry flavour, these easy-to-chew tablets contain a unique combination of Echinacea, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin A and beta carotene to support the immune system and inhibit viruses so your kiddos feels better faster.
Some of the benefits:
• Reduces the severity of symptoms, shortens the duration of colds and flu
• Fast, effective relief without side effects
• Delicious, natural wildberry flavour
Vessi Waterproof Shoes
Vessi wants you to make the world your playground! The Vessi sneakers are 100% WATERPROOF! It's not a coating—it’s integrated directly into the knit so you need not fear rain, snow, mud, or slush ever again! Plus, the sneakers are breathable which allow the sweat and heat to escape, keeping your feet fresh and the water out.
It’s the worst when your kids come home after school with soaking wet socks—imagine that was no longer a problem! What an absolute dream come true. Another major highlight—All Vessi sneakers are 100% vegan. There are lots of styles to choose from that work for all seasons. Enjoy dry feet this school year!
