Back-to-school shopping is officially underway for the Drummond family! Alex Drummond recently shared that she's getting a head start on preschool preparations for her daughter, Sofia, after she started Mother's Day Out (MDO) earlier this year.
Alex says, “Since we started Sofia in 'school' (MDO) in the middle of spring when a spot randomly opened up, I feel like I didn't have time to get together all of the fun school supplies... Sooooo going all out prepping for when she starts back up in August 😂💕 just ordered her monogrammed backpack!"
If Alex is doing the shopping, you know Sofia's school supplies are going to be cute as can be. The backpack she picked is from Mark & Graham's beloved Riley collection, featuring a soft blue floral print with Sofia's initials beautifully embroidered across the front in pink. And she didn't stop there! Alex also ordered the coordinating insulated lunch pail in the exact same print, creating a picture-perfect matching set that's ready for the first day of school.
Along with the pretty floral print, you can also find both pieces in other patterns such as gingham, plaid, dinosaurs, and more.
The Riley Backpack is a kid-friendly style made from wipeable, water-resistant coated cotton that's designed to stand up to everyday messes. That means is can handle snack spills, playground dirt, and everything in between. The roomy main compartment easily fits folders, books, and other classroom essentials, while the front zip pocket and stretchy side pockets keep smaller items organized. Adjustable padded straps help it stay comfortable on little shoulders, and the personalized embroidery means there's no mistaking whose backpack it is.
Of course, no backpack is complete without a lunch bag to match. The coordinating Riley Insulated Lunch Pail features the same blue floral pattern and can also be personalized. The insulated interior helps keep snacks and lunches cool throughout the school day, while the compact shape is perfectly sized to fit inside or carry alongside the matching backpack. Like the backpack, it's finished with the same wipeable exterior, making cleanup quick after a busy day.
With preschool starting back up this month, Sofia is all set for her next adventure—and thanks to Alex's adorable picks, she'll be one of the cutest kids walking through the classroom door. If you're shopping for your own little student, this personalized backpack and lunch box duo is the kind of set they'll love now and long after the first-day photos are over.
