]]> If you’re anything like I was as a kid, new clothing for back-to-school was the highlight of summer. I always went for the cutest clothes that reflected my personality and made me feel confident heading back into the classroom. Now, as a parent, while I dread the chaos of long lines and navigating the mall parking lot, I still love the excitement of back to school and spending time getting my kids ready for the year.

The great thing about shopping nowadays is that you can accomplish a lot online. You and your kids can peruse through tons of clothes online with various styles and designs that reflect your child’s interests and personality – sure to get them excited to strut their stuff all the way to their classrooms. So what are the hot clothing items for your kids this season? And what does your child REALLY look for when selecting a new tee or hoodie?

Party Topic

This Tuesday, join the #gno Twitter party from 9-11 ET (8-10 CT, 7-9 MT, 6-8 PT) with Threadless Kids and chat about back-to-school, your child’s personal style, shopping trends and more for the upcoming school year.

Be sure to click here to check out this week’s giveaway where you can enter for a chance to win one of FIVE $50 gift certificates to Threadless Kids, a new kids’ t-shirt line from crowdsourcing poster child Threadless.

]]> If you ask anyone, you will find that almost everyone knows or has known someone who has suffered from, is currently struggling with, or who passed away from some form of cancer. When I was 13, my neighbor died of breast cancer, when I was 15, my mom’s best friend died from Leukemia, and not too many years ago my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

While we may all know people whose lives are altered by cancer, we may not all be familiar with the causes, the prevention, and how we can help.

Party Topic

This Tuesday night, join members from the American Cancer Society (ACS) blogger’s council along with the Mom It Forward community at a #gno Twitter party to raise awareness for cancer and to help Renee Ross raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in support of her friend’s daughter who suffers from the disease.
