This will only be cute for a few years… so jump in while you still can. Graffeeti has come out with a backpack that you can write little notes on each day.

You know…

“Eat all your carrots”

“Come straight home and stay away from that Miller boy”

“Don’t bite your friends”

“Noses are for smelling – not picking”

You get my drift.

Actually, I think the idea is amazing – and when your child no longer wants something from their parents, they can use the space to personalized their school backpack. It’s a win-win.

Available online for $29.99

My children have just started to want to take things with them when we leave the house. First it starts out with just a truck  – then it becomes a truck and a juice box. By the time we make it to the car, I’m juggling half my playroom!

Why not let me stock their own backpack with whatever goodies they want. Check out these adorable hand knit animal packs available online for $42!
