Giveaway: Tiny Prints for Back to School

Sending 3 kids off to school is no small achievement -- especially after you've spent 10 weeks with practically no schedule or organization.  We've spent the summer waking up at 9, staying in our PJ's until noon, and clearing out the breakfast dishes at 4!  Making the transition back to our super-oiled, super-efficient schedule is not going to be easy.  Here are some great tools that can make going back to school much, much easier:

1)  I like to label everything -- backpacks, lunch boxes, containers, water bottles, jackets, pencil cases, everything!  Not only does it help identify my kids' stuff at school, it helps establish ownership at home.  No more fighting about who owns that drawing pad!  I like to use laminated labels for items that go in the dishwasher or washing machine, but those can be quite costly!  So for notebooks, binders, pencils and other small items, I'm happy with stickers like the ones from Tiny Prints.  They are much more inexpensive but are still super cute.

2) I keep track of the whole family's activities on my online calendar, but I still keep a master calendar in the kitchen.  I think it's good training for their own organizational skills to enter their own activities into the calendar, and there is no way I want them messing with my online calendar!  I like using customizable calendars filled with photos of places we went to and things we did the year before.  It's fun looking back and reliving those memories!

3) As a blogger, I always have some business cards handy, but as a parent -- and more importantly, as this year's PTA co-president! -- I think I need to have some contact cards handy as well.  It's so much easier (and it makes me look so much more organized) to pull out a contact card rather than scribble my name and number on the back of a napkin when I meet a new teacher or new parent!

4)  I don't use planners, but I know many people who swear by them.  The Pea started using one in 4th grade and has been using planners ever since (speaking of The Pea, this summer she made her first set of contact cards and gave them to her new friends from summer camp.  She's excited to give more away to all the new friends she's bound to make this school year!).

You can find all of the products I mentioned above at Tiny Prints, your one-stop shop for fun, fabulous back-to-school stationary products like name stickers, contact cards, calendars, planners, notebooks, emergency contact cards, lunch box notes, note cards, allergy cards and more.
