Be #BacktoSchool Ready

Some products and companies to keep in mind during Back to School Season.

Keep yourself and family organized with the 2015/2016 Day Ja View Calendar. I enjoyed using this calendar last year. Day Ja View, August to July wall calendars starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. I like this unique calendar because it comes with stickers that we can place on the removable plastic protective sheet, and avoid re-writing recurring activities.

Since we can write on the labels to jot down the time, it makes it easy to remember not to double book. For example, if you know soccer is every Wednesday each month, placing the sticker on the protective sheet and writing the time directly on the sticker we can avoid making other appointments at the same time. If you no longer need the sticker on the days you put it in initially, then you can easily remove or replace.

I love using the personal planner website to create my own personalized planner for the school year. I used the personal planner last year, and it is very easy to stay organized while I am on the go. Despite all the electronics that are available I love using the planner I can write on. Using their site and making our own planner is simple and exciting. I love the beautiful covers they have this year.

Labeling children's items are crucial, so they don't loose all our back to school investment in a day! Having labeled items help our children, as well as the adults in the school, after school activities or in the camp environment. MabelsLabels.com are microwave, laundry, and dishwasher safe so we can use them in a variety of items such as shoes, lunch containers, clothing, and more.  

My children love reading non-fictional material, and enjoyed reading and learning from the 2016 National Geographic Kids Almanac that has really cool information. While reading this, they were not only be asking questions but also thinking critically and creatively about things in their environment.
