How Grandparents Can Help with Back to School Shopping

August 14, 2018 Rachel Ferrucci Leave a Comment

sponsoredBoscovs ShoesAs a grandparent, you get to become a “Spoiler”! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard my daughter say, “Who are you?” The grandkids are allowed to eat in the living room, run and jump in the house all they want, and ice cream for dinner isn’t a stretch. One of the things my husband and I miss is going back to school shopping.  Boscov Puma

We love to take the grandkids shopping to get unpractical things…..you know, toys, gadgets, and things that annoy their parents, but when it’s back to school time, we stay focused and stick to the theme. This year I grabbed the kids and we went to Boscov’s. Our eight year old prince is very trendy and he is very particular about what he wears and the four year old prince also knows what he wants. Boscovs Addidas Boscovs Puma ShirtI knew Boscov’s would have everything they needed but more importantly, Boscov’s would have what the boys want. Boscovs School Shopping

We started in the boys section and both boys were going through the racks like they were looking for gold. These boys know how to shop!  As a Star Wars and Avengers Geek, I was so happy that little prince was finding novelty t-shirts on sale for $5.99 and $6.99!!! Boscovs Jacket

We found great jackets and puffy vests. Prince pointed out how many pockets the vest had!Boscovs Puffy Vest

Once they had all their favorites, it was time to go try them on.

We were so excited to find Nike, Puma, French Toast, U.S. Polo Assn., and many more brands that are trendy! We found Puma jogging pants for $12.99 and Puma shirts for $7.99 in both their sizes (Yes, I like to get them a couple of the same outfits), and Levi’s jeans that fit perfect.

We started getting silly and having fun while trying everything on! Boscovs puma outfit

 

The boys decided to do a little bit of modeling their favorites!Boscovs modeling clothes As they walked through and grabbed clothes of the racks filling my arms, my princess waited patiently for her turn. While she waited she found a couple purses that went with her outfit.

My princess may be in nursery school but this grandma is making sure she’s the best dressed toddler! It was now her turn! OMG, the adorable dresses and outfits were so off the cuteness factor chart. Boscov girls outfit

After we finished trying on pants, shirts, hoodies, and jackets we headed over to check out the shoes and backpacks.

Boscovs notebookTruthfully, it was hard for me to not go into my section because half my summer wardrobe is from Boscov’s and I know I’d find a ton of fall clothes that I’d love. Self control is easy when I’m with the kids, well unless they’re talking me into something.

Next up shoes!

The kids did such a great job shopping and trying on their clothes, we decided we needed to check out the shades and have some fun! Can I add that I scored on three pairs of cheater glasses for $2.99 each. I figure they’re needed for back to school to see the beautiful art they’ll be bringing me.

I know you have a blast too when shopping with your grandkids and taking them school shopping is the one time of year that you can be practical and make mom and dad happy too. The best part is we are able to get affordable and FUN clothes for all the kids! You will get the most for your dollar on brands you love while getting everything you need from clothes to accessories at Boscovs!

The boys were so excited to get their bags, they did a little dance!

When will you be taking the grandkids (or your own kids) school shopping?

Why did no one warn us that menopause would turn our bodies into a crime scene… Dryness. Pain. Sneezing roulette. UTIs showing up uninvited. And doctors smiling politely and saying, “That’s just aging.” Cool. Love that for us.

Say Hello to Silky Peach Cream 🍑 A bioidentical estriol cream that works locally to rebuild thinning tissue, restore moisture, and bring back comfort where it actually matters. Not a Band-Aid. Not a $350 prescription. Not a lube that disappears by lunchtime.

Estriol is the gentlest form of estrogen our bodies naturally make, and Silky Peach Cream puts it back exactly where menopause took it away. Over time, tissue rebuilds, moisture returns, and suddenly intimacy doesn’t feel like sandpaper and regret.

Two pumps nightly. Then maintenance. Because it took years to get this dry… it’s okay if it takes a little time to feel normal again.

I’m done whispering about menopause. I got my life back.  And my peach is happy again!

I didn’t expect this to be the hardest part of getting older.

If sex hurts. If you avoid intimacy. If you dread wiping.

It’s not “just dryness.” It’s estrogen loss. And yes, it’s fixable.

Menopause doesn’t ease in quietly. It shows up hot, uncomfortable, and disruptive. And for way too long, women are told to whisper about it or accept it as “just aging.” I’m done with that.

Silky Peach Cream helped restore moisture, rebuild thinning tissue, and bring back comfort where menopause took it away. Not a quick fix. Not a Band-Aid. Just real, gradual relief that made me feel like myself again.

Two pumps. Some patience. And a lot less suffering.

Stop whispering about menopause. You deserve relief. You deserve joy. Your peach deserves to be happy again.

In paid partnership with #NoPainPact and with the support of #VoicesforNonOpioidChoices. 

When I found out I needed surgery, my 1st thought wasn’t the procedure. It was the fear of being handed opioids again with no real choice. After my last surgery, opioids were the only option I had, my insurance didn’t cover the non-opioid alternatives I specifically asked for. That showed me how quickly exposure can happen. Many people don’t realize that about 1 in 10 patients who receive opioids after surgery will struggle with long-term use. That’s nearly 4 million people per year. It’s no secret that opioids can lead to addiction, & we should be much louder about the fact that there are non opioid options that can be used during surgery to manage pain afterwards. 
Medicare already recognizes this & separately reimburses for FDA-approved non-opioid pain treatments, proving these options are real & available. Yet insurance barriers often make them difficult or impossible to access. Instead of making decisions about my recovery with my doctor, insurance policy made them for me. As I prepare for my next surgery, I want access to every option that reduces my exposure. I know how easily things can escalate. I’ve seen opioid use continue far longer than intended. It can tear apart families before anyone realizes what’s happening. What starts as short-term pain management after surgery becomes something no one ever expected, simply because safer options were never offered. It’s frustrating that some major insurers still haven’t expanded coverage the way Medicare has. #UnitedHealthcare is one of the companies whose restrictions make it harder to access FDA-approved non-opioid surgical pain options. Because of their size, these decisions affect millions. Surgery shouldn’t be a gateway to opioid addiction. Medicare covers these options. UnitedHealthcare & others need to do the same so patients aren’t pushed toward opioids by outdated policies. Patients & families deserve better.
