Easing the Back-to-School Stress With Parent-Invented Creative Solutions

Image credit: Unsplash

With summer’s long days winding down, back-to-school comes with shopping lists, schedule edits to make, and emotional settling-in to do. This yearly transition brings much more than early wake-up calls and packed lunches. It can be stressful for both kids and parents. Issues range from routine setting, anxiety management, arranging engaging activities for kids, and keeping them organized. Fortunately, there are several parent-activated innovations now offering timely support through creative, practical solutions.

Making Brushing Routines Fun Again

For parents struggling to get their kids to brush properly before the morning bell rings, Toothbrush Toys offers a refreshing approach. These toothbrushes feature toy-inspired handles and soft bristles, along with story-based animations that encourage children to complete the full two-minute brushing session. The brand further supports sustainability with replaceable brush heads and plans to launch licensed versions featuring popular YouTube characters.

“The thought process was: how can we change the narrative around brushing and make it something that kids view as fun, instead of something that’s a chore or a battle,” says founder Nicolette Warren.

The brand is also building out a digital ecosystem to support habit-building through character animations that align with brushing time. These stories are designed to run for exactly two minutes to make brushing both effective and immersive.

“The books are designed to be read while brushing, and the animations help kids stay engaged long enough to finish. It’s a full experience,” says Warren.

Hugs in Every Backpack

Emotional support can be just as important as academic preparation. Hug-a-Boo-Boo bandages aim to comfort children facing both physical scrapes and emotional challenges. Each adhesive strip features a character face and hugging arms that wrap around minor wounds, creating a sense of care and connection.

“It’s reassuring, it’s comforting, and that’s something that you just can’t get in a box,” shares co-creator Glenn Eckert.

Each bandage is designed with a centered character face and outstretched arms to simulate a comforting hug when applied. Unlike generic adhesive strips, these aim to create an emotional shift in the child: distraction through connection.

“When you put it on, the arms literally wrap around you, and kids smile. That’s the moment we’re designing for,” says Eckert.

The brand has expanded its line with Boo-Boo Wipes, offering disinfectant and a mild anesthetic, while themed collections like Hugging Paws and American Pride extend their reach to support rescue animals and first responders.

Learning Through Play, Anywhere

As attention spans grow shorter and screen time increases, parents are turning to screen-free options to boost early learning. So Handmade caters to this demand with its portable, rollable alphabet play mats that promote letter recognition and fine motor development.

“Some kids aren’t interested when it’s labeled as ‘learning time,’ so I made products where play is involved and they don’t actually realize they’re learning,” notes founder Sarah Omura.

The play mats are accompanied by small felt pieces that allow children to match letters and sounds, reinforcing learning through hands-on interaction. Omura emphasizes that her designs are especially helpful for children who struggle with traditional learning formats.

“I wanted these tools to be flexible, and something parents can pull out in a restaurant or waiting room, not just the classroom,” says Omura.

Building Emotional Resilience

For kids navigating school-related pressures, building inner confidence is essential. 7th Compass offers affirmation cards designed to foster emotional resilience in both children and their parents. Created by a former teacher and mother, these two-minute daily prompts can be used at breakfast, bedtime, or even in classrooms, making them a flexible tool for emotional growth.

“The cards help kids develop a growth mindset and provide tools for facing challenges with resilience,” explains founder Amy Hamilton.

The cards are also being adopted by therapists who use them to open up conversation with children around emotional regulation. A companion journal is in development to expand the tool’s use across various ages and settings.

“When I saw my daughter repeating some of the same negative self-talk I used to have as a kid, I knew I needed to create a better script,” says Hamilton.

Cultural Awareness Starts Early

In an increasingly diverse educational landscape, fostering cultural curiosity from a young age is imperative. Global Sprouts provides subscription boxes that introduce children to global cultures through stories, crafts, and cooking projects. Each box, led by the mascot Globie, also supports nonprofit causes.

“We aim to turn playtime into a passport around the world and prepare children for diverse school environments,” says founder Whitney Duenas Richardson.

Each box includes a video from a cultural ambassador who lives in the featured country, showing how their community goes to school, eats, and celebrates traditions. These real-life windows add a layer of authenticity that makes the experience more relatable.

“Just this week, our ambassador in Indonesia sent videos of kids in their uniforms heading to class. My daughter and her friends loved it,” says Richardson.

Organizational Tools That Save Time

Teachers also face mounting pressure as they prepare for the academic year. Mega Seating Plan simplifies classroom setup with a digital tool for creating data-driven, customizable seating charts.

“During the back-to-school rush, our tool helps teachers save hours of planning so they can focus on what really matters,” says founder Rob Cowen.

The software has evolved to meet increasing demand for inclusion tools, and allows teachers to customize layouts for students with special educational needs or mobility challenges. The platform’s visual seating view also supports school inspectors who require quick access to student data.

“Teachers need to show that students with language barriers or support needs aren’t being overlooked. We make that easy,” says Cowen.

Carriers That Support Parents on the Go

For caregivers juggling drop-offs and errands with babies in tow, Tushbaby offers a practical solution. The ergonomic, strappy hip carrier doubles as a storage pouch and is pediatrician-approved. The new Pearl model supports newborns starting at eight pounds, making it a favorite for school runs or theme park adventures.

Parents are finding Tushbaby helpful in crowded environments like theme parks, airports, and after-school pickup lines where speed and convenience matter most. The hip carrier allows for quick transitions between carrying, resting, and on-the-go parenting.

Moms can step out of the car for a quick errand without having to mess with a stroller or straps.

Tushbaby’s signature hip seat carrier is designed for ergonomic support without shoulder or back strain. It also supports multiple carry positions: front-facing, side, and even nursing, along with built-in storage for essentials. Lightweight and compact, it supports babies and toddlers from 8 to 45 pounds. “I’ve tried everything! Slings, wraps, carriers… but this changed everything,” says Kimberly V., who used it for a day at Universal Studios. “Now I can nurse standing up, carry my daughter comfortably, and stash diapers, wipes, my phone, and a toy in the pockets. The only regret I have is not buying it sooner.”

Tech That Protects

Bark Watch offers parents peace of mind with a minimalist smartwatch for kids, featuring GPS, calls, and texts, without the distraction of games or internet access.

“We believe in ‘delay is the way’—gradually introducing tech in a safe, age-appropriate way,” adds Adina Kalish of Bark.

The device also includes features like sleep mode, check-in reminders, real-time location updates, customizable contact lists, SOS alerts, and school mode to limit distractions during class time. Parents can even set geographic boundaries and get alerts when kids arrive at or leave designated zones, making it ideal for aftercare and first solo commutes.

“We always say: tech isn’t going away. But it’s how you introduce it that makes all the difference,” says Kalish.

Preparing for Back-to-School with Confidence

For kids preparing to return to school, Numerade offers a unique approach to learning with its hybrid STEM platform that combines short-form videos and AI assistance.

Numerade’s strength lies in its hybrid learning model, which combines short-form video tutorials from more than 60,000 educators with ACE, its AI-powered study assistant. ACE gives students real-time voice support, flashcards, and personalized guidance based on what they’re currently watching.

The platform covers everything from middle school math to advanced college-level engineering, allowing students to review core concepts, stay sharp over the summer, and even get ahead before the school year starts. By generating custom study materials drawn from real textbooks, Numerade helps learners pinpoint their weak spots and improve with purpose.

As CEO Nhon Ma explains, the platform is built around how students actually want to learn. “They need space and time to learn at their own pace, without the pressure of raising their hand in a crowded class,” he says. “That’s when confidence builds. That’s when real learning begins.”

Bridging Phonics with Fun

Phonics Read Alouds takes a unique approach to literacy by blending phonics with character-driven stories that keep kids engaged. Each book in the series breaks down complex phonics skills through interactive learning, helping both kids and adults.

The series is designed to encourage discussions and help kids feel empowered to read. With a focus on characters and emotional connection, the series makes phonics memorable and fun, while also providing free resources for educators and parents. Phonics Read Alouds provides parents with the tools to help their kids develop a love for reading early on.

Founder Yvette Manns says the goal was always bigger than decoding words. “I wrote these books to be read aloud together,” she says. “It’s about connection. It’s about confidence. And it’s about helping kids discover joy in reading that lasts far beyond kindergarten.

Phonics Read Alouds was designed to turn reading into a shared experience. Each book invites dual engagement: one page helps children sound out targeted phonics patterns, while the facing page encourages open-ended conversations that deepen understanding. This structure not only supports early literacy skills but also creates intentional pauses for adult-child interaction. With printable games and free digital resources, the learning can continue long after the book is closed.

Easing the Transition

From emotional well-being to practical organization, today’s parent-created tools are helping ease the back-to-school transition in meaningful ways. As families brace for the challenges of new classrooms, these innovations offer comfort, connection, and confidence in a season of change.

Celebrate Your Dad With These Unique Father’s Day Gifts

Image credit: Unsplash

As Father’s Day approaches, many are thinking about the perfect gift that goes beyond the standard tie or toolset for their father. It’s a personal holiday and one that provides an opportunity to give Dad a thoughtful gift that’s all about him, whether it is barware, coffee, stylish clothing, or a combination of gifts. Each brand features thoughtful gifts that are uniquely personal and insightful.

Hit a Home Run With a Baseball-Themed Gift

Father’s Day comes in the middle of baseball season, an ideal time for baseball-themed gifts like Dugout Mugs. The mugs can be personalized or engraved with Dad’s favorite team. Dugout Mugs are a considerate gift for the baseball lover who embraces the spirit of America’s pastime. The officially licensed Major League Baseball barware features custom logos and team logos from all 30 teams.

Dugout Mugs began with a spark of creativity when co-founder Randall Thompson saw broken bats in a dugout and wondered, “What if this could be a mug?” That moment turned into a patented product that has now done over $50 million in sales. CEO Kris Dehnert, who took the reins after surviving a traumatic health scare, called the venture his ninth company and his most meaningful one yet. “I had a newborn at home, and I knew I wanted to build something lasting,” he shared. The company now operates out of a 10,000-square-foot facility in Florida and even crafts licensed mugs for the Savannah Bananas — the wild, circus-meets-baseball team beloved by fans.

Dugout Mugs make an especially heartfelt Father’s Day gift because each one is truly one-of-a-kind. Crafted from real baseball bat wood, no two grains are the same. As Dehnert says, “It literally is a one-of-a-kind. We back it with a lifetime warranty. If you can break it, we’ll replace it.” It’s also a perfect fifth anniversary gift, since the traditional material for that milestone is wood. And for dads who love the sentimental, custom mugs can feature a photo from the stands, a team logo, or even a replica of a loved one’s signature.

The collection also features shot glasses with bat handles, bottle openers, mugs, and tumblers. The new line even includes complete grilling toolsets, which complement the summer holiday perfectly.

A Bold Shirt for the Stylish, Adventurous Dad

Baja Llama features a bold and adventurous clothing and accessories line for dads who love to travel, explore, and make a fashion statement. The line features outerwear, shirts, hats, and other essentials in its effort to “Fight Against Boring.”

The brand’s story began when co-founders Sean Kolina and Jeff O’Keefe were tired of seeing the same bland prints on Hawaiian Shirt Friday in San Francisco. “We thought, what if a narwhal held a beer? Or a llama showed up in the Andes and wandered all the way to Baja?” said Kolina. The result: travel-inspired apparel that turns heads and sparks conversation.

Their collaborations reflect that same spirit. A recent partnership with El Sativo Tequila yielded a fiery collection full of vibrant prints and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. Many pieces are inspired by travel legends like the Nazca Lines of Peru or bold destinations like Nazaré, Portugal. For dads who never lost their sense of adventure, the collection offers a passport to style.

Baja Llama has considered all aspects of men’s fashion, including hidden zipper pockets, Carrazzo (coconut husk) buttons, and the use of recycled materials. There are several stylish lines to choose from, including Mojave and Vagabond. The brand is focused on sustainability and only uses eco-friendly and recycled fabrics with a unisex appeal.

While most customers shop directly through their website, Baja Llama can also be found in major retail stores across the country. But by far, the favorite way to experience the brand is on their converted 40-foot prison bus — a mobile retail shop that rolls up to expos and events with margaritas, wild stories, and serious main character energy. “Stores love the bus. We bring margaritas, good energy, and a story,” Kolina said.

Think Outside the Box for the Health-Conscious Dad

Joe’y Coffee Alternative is a coffee-free, mushroom-powered alternative for the health-conscious dad as a pick-me-up without the crash or jitters that come with traditional brews. The beverage features 12 premium-grade superfoods, mushrooms, and adaptogens, providing a more balanced boost of energy, sharper focus, improved memory, and enhanced mental performance. It has a robust flavor with low acidity, featuring notes of chicory, cacao, and cinnamon, and contains less caffeine than a traditional cup of coffee.

Joe’y coffee evolution reflects a shift from a coffee substitute to a wellness tradition, leaving some customers to describe the drink as incomparable and emotionally resonant. Gifting Joe’y now is a great way to explore its complex flavors before the brand introduces travel-friendly packs to increase accessibility and deepen lifestyle integration.

The brand was born out of the founder’s struggles with caffeine, which continue to shape their mission. The idea is “part ritual, part recharge” and is a thoughtful gift for any father looking to slow down, prioritize his health, or swap the caffeine crash for something calmer and more nourishing. The company takes pride in being a beverage that supports heart health by cultivating a drink meant to be enjoyed, not tolerated, and aims to have a lasting impact on consumers.

And that’s exactly what makes Joe’y a standout Father’s Day gift — it’s not just another bag of beans. It’s a daily ritual that supports better sleep, gut health, and focus. Especially for dads aiming to step off the caffeine roller coaster and into a calmer, clearer routine. Plus, with travel packs launching soon, Joe’y is becoming even more accessible for busy dads on the go.

Something for Every Dad

Each of these gifts carries a story, a little bit of mischief, and a lot of heart… just like Dad. Whether it’s a baseball mug that celebrates his favorite team, a mushroom coffee that redefines his mornings, or a shirt that says, “I’ve been places,” these gifts go beyond novelty. They say: I know you. I see you. And I got you something that speaks your language.

Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer Quietly Marry in Los Angeles

Kristen Stewart, 35, and Dylan Meyer, 37, are officially married. The actor and screenwriter exchanged vows on April 20th in a small ceremony held at the iconic Mexican restaurant Casita del Campo in Los Feliz, California. The nuptials took place after a four-year engagement.

A Private Ceremony

The wedding occurred on a Sunday, just days after the couple obtained their marriage license at the Los Angeles courthouse. Stewart, best known for her role in the Twilight series, wore a matching gray skirt and blouse paired with a white crop top. Meyer, who penned scripts for XOXO and Moxie, opted for a sheer white blouse and a beige satin skirt. She completed her look with a ponytail tied with a black ribbon.

The ceremony took place in front of 170 guests, including actor Ashley Benson and her husband, Brandon Jack James, Nicholas Meyer (Stewart’s dad), and Phil Meynell, the co-owner of The Mulberry bar in New York City. The casual, close-knit wedding was just what Stewart always envisioned.

A No-Fuss Wedding

In 2022, Stewart appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, hinting at an upcoming wedding and describing the vibe she desired for the ceremony.

“I want to have a big party or something,” Stewart said. “I think we might do it this weekend or something, and then hang out with everyone afterward. I just want to do it.”

The Oscar nominee got what she expected. She and Meyer enjoyed a low-key celebration at their favorite Mexican eatery. They tied the knot while surrounded by a small group of close friends and family.

In 2022, Meyer and Stewart hit a milestone in their relationship. For the first time, they appeared on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. At that time, the latter received a nomination for her role as Princess Diana in the movie Spencer.

From Coworkers to Partners

Stewart and Meyer first met in 2013 on the set of a film project. However, they didn’t begin dating until six years later. Their romantic connection reportedly began after reconnecting at a friend’s birthday party in 2019. Soon after, the couple was spotted together in public, holding hands and appearing cozy.

Their relationship became official on Instagram in October 2019. Meyer posted a black-and-white photo booth picture of the two sharing a kiss. She captioned, “Find me under the covers hiding from the happiness police.”

Love in Her Own Words

Stewart has been candid about her relationship with Meyer in past interviews. During a 2019 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Stewart recalled the first time she told Meyer she loved her.

“The first time I told her I love her, it was late, and we were in some bar, and her friends were there or whatever, and they walked out, and I was just like: ‘Oh, man, I’m so in love with you.’ Like, done,” she said. “It wasn’t like ‘a thing,’ and it was so obvious.”

Two years later, she returned to Stern’s show to share that she and Meyer were engaged. “We’re marrying, it’s happening,” she said.

Life Beyond Wedded Bliss

Aside from tying the knot, the newlyweds plan to start a family. In the meantime, the couple has also cemented their professional partnership. Last year, they launched their production company, Nevermind Pictures.

LA Takes Its Wellness Obsession to a More Expensive Level

Image credit: Unsplash

Venice’s recently opened Hume wellness club features a compact hyperbaric chamber that circulates pure oxygen at air pressure rates approximately three times the normal amount. These high-end training tools are far from the outdated chain gym accommodations elsewhere. The new members-only club also boasts a gym with indoor/outdoor spaces overlooking the beachside enclave and offers services including Reiki, acupuncture, and lymphatic drainage massage. It also features a rooftop smoothie bar, steam rooms, and cold plunges, elevating the gym experience and reflecting a marked trend in LA.

Wellness Clubs

Though Hume revolves around the wellness space, it does not feel like a traditional gym. The wavy sitting benches inside the workout spaces are crafted from polished concrete, which blends with the downtempo electronic music emanating from pipes inside the winding, three-story club. The recovery area’s focal piece is the buttery couch, where guests can prop their feet up and use one of the always-charged massage guns to work out any sore muscles.

Hume features a floral scent wafting in and out of the club courtesy of a local French perfumer. Members can also purchase the smell at the front desk and take it home.

Membership

Unlike traditional gyms and wellness clubs, where members might be squeezing in a quick workout around the rest of their hectic lives, Hume aims for its patrons to “lose the sense of time” while at the wellness center. Co-founder and creative director Sandy Bole says, “There are no TVs anywhere. There are no clocks anywhere.”

This dissociation from time will cost members in other ways, however. Membership runs $395 per month, plus a $500 initiation fee and an application that may be rejected.

Hume aims to sell an aesthetically pleasing communal experience. Bole adds, “All the walls are hard-troweled, so you get this human, artisanal feel.” The creative director mentions that Hume has a waitlist with hundreds of hopefuls, but it is currently at capacity. However, outsiders are invited to Saturday socials if they come with a member.

Other Upscale Clubs

Hume is not the only upscale fitness club in the area. Remedy Place, which considers itself “the world’s first social wellness club,” opened in West Hollywood in 2019 and now boasts New York and Boston locations. The US has other socially focused wellness club initiatives, including Othership, SAA, and Continuum. The clubs have surged in popularity recently because they cater to a crowd that craves experiential activities, preferably in a beautiful location where they can break a sweat.

Some initiatives have LA roots, but they are becoming a nationwide trend. Unsurprisingly, the popularity surge comes when the lines of work-life balance have blurred, and social media dramatically influences many life decisions.

As individualized self-care becomes the balm against the instability of the early pandemic era, the wellness industry has bloomed beyond what was predicted. Pair this with an almost insatiable appetite for more experiential fare and active forms of entertainment, and you have the reason for the growing number of high-end wellness clubs, particularly in the LA area.

Artist Umar Rashid Curates a Robert Colescott Show for Blum LA

Image credits: Pexels

LA-based artist Umar Rashid is bringing his “The Anansean World of Robert Colescott” to Blum. The curated show combines 30 paintings and drawings from five decades of Colescott’s career. Works include drawings from the early 1950s, when Colescott would have been studying in Paris under Cubist artist Fernand Léger, semi-abstract paintings from the late 1960s, and works from the height of his career from the 1970s to the 1990s. The exhibition at Blum Los Angeles aims to shed a different light on the artist known for his harsh social critique of the US.

Rashid brings a lifetime of adoration for Colescott, focusing on the historical aspects of the influential artist’s work.

Robert Colescott

Robert Colescott’s most famous painting is “George Washington Carver Crossing the Delaware: Page From an American History Textbook” (1975). The work has since been acquired by the forthcoming Lucas Museum of Narrative Art at a Sotheby’s auction in 2021 for $15.3 million. Rashid drew inspiration for the exhibit from numerous spirits, including Ananse, a spider deity and trickster from West African mythology, positioning Colescott as the “grand trickster of the ages.”

Umar Rashid’s Reflection on Colescott

Rashid writes of Colescott, “The appellation is incredibly apt in terms of his artistic practice. Yet he was not born thus but forged through the crucible of being an African American fine artist in a time of limited opportunity for those like him and the ideals he sought to bring forth in a postindustrial world burdened by draconian racial awareness, social robotization, and post-imperial, imperial war machinations.”

Rashid came into contact with Colescott’s “George Washington Carver Crossing the Delaware” years ago and compares the experience to a dream. Though he did not know the name of the pivotal work, Rashid knew of the iconic Leutze painting on which it is based.

Artistic Influences

Rashid grew up frequenting art museums with his father. He was taken by prominent artists such as Horace Pippin, Jacob Lawrence, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and Elizabeth Catlett, who created a canon of Black painters in his mind. It was in this environment that Rashid first experienced Colescott. He recalled in an interview, “I remember the Colescott and not thinking about or not looking at the cartoonish representation of Black people, but just looking at Black painters in general in the painting. But this painting just really stood out because it was historical. At the time, I didn’t get the tongue-in-cheek aspect of it. I didn’t see all the things that were happening. I just saw the image.”

In 2018, Rashid was hosting an exhibition at the University of Arizona Museum of Art in Tucson when the curator told him that Colescott used to teach at that university. This brought him back to studying his work through a historical lens. Before that, Rashid was only familiar with Colescott’s nudes and Léger-era pieces. The Blum exhibition showcases a broader scope of his work to introduce the influential artist to a new audience.

The curated exhibition runs through May 17 at Blum Los Angeles.
