It’s Time to Get Back to Routine

It’s almost that time of year folks! Kids are going back to school soon and it’s time to find our routines again. We’ve made a checklist of all the things you need to recharge and reset after the summer.

School Essentials Refresh

Shoes

While we don’t need an excuse to buy new shoes, it’s always nice to have one! If the kids are needing some new indoor or gym shoes, Sole Freedom will have the perfect fit for you. Sole Freedom’s mission is to provide shoes that are foot-shaped, zero-drop, and close to the ground – because that’s what your body was designed for. Keep your feet and your kids’ feet happy this school year and visit Sole Freedom to check out their options.

Backpacks

Listen, we hear the kids wanting new school bags this year so we’ve got some options for you! Fjallraven has their classic Kankin bags you can’t go wrong with, and many other versatile options for school and work needs. These bags will last more than one season and never go out of style. Check out all the options here.

Health and Fitness Musts

Bike service

Make sure you and the kids are ready to go anywhere with a service and repair check on your bikes! Wanting to find more sustainable and healthy ways to get around? It’s time to pull out your bikes while the weather is still nice! Bushtukah has service and repair packages to make sure your bike is in top shape before hitting the road.
