This episode is brought to you by Name Bubbles. It is back to school season and you know what that means.

Lots of items are heading to school and they're not always necessarily coming back. They're either headed to the lost and found, they're left on the school bus, their friends take them home thinking they're theirs.

How can we prevent this from happening? Well, I have just the thing, and it is called name bubbles. It is a mom

founded and mom-owned brand made in a small town in upstate New York. These are durable,

waterproof name labels for kids stuff, including lunch boxes, water bottles, backpacks, clothing, you name it.

They have something to put your child's name on it. So it comes back home. These will be staying on

long term because they are dishwasher safe and laundry safe. They're not only for school. They're

don't think it's going to help. But I know that he understands what I'm saying now. So I really,

like yesterday, we were trying to show him pictures of the dentist office, show him what a dentist

chair looks like. We're acting like, you know, it's a really

fun experience. And the same kind of way we do when it's something exciting that we're going to
