My husband and I have been making a bigger effort to really invest out time in relationships lately.  That means that I have been scheduling more visits with an elderly lady from church, attending women’s events, and being diligent about getting some play dates on the calendar this Summer.  I love the freedom that these three warm months bring as we don’t have the hustle and bustle and routine like we do during the school year but I also know that this time will be ending soon.  So today, I’m sharing some really awesome products to help you get prepared for back to school with your families.

Thank you to Mead® and Five Star® for these awesome goodies!

Let’s just start with one of the biggest purchases that many face during preparing for September which happens to be backpacks.  Over the years, I’ve bought many different ones but one theme tends to always hold true.  They are just never big enough!  Come Winter here in Minnesota, there’s extra hats, mittens, scarves, snowpants, and boots that have to get lugged around on top of the typical school papers and books.  Never fear, as the Five Star Expandable Backpack just may hold the answer.  Available in three great color choices: Berry, Dark Gray, and Cobalt, this bag offers expanding sections which can provide extra storage space up to 7″!

The Five Star Expandable Backpack also features ergonomic straps to allow a more comfortable carry as the weight gets distributed more evenly while it also features the top loop to hang on a hook in the locker.  Also featuring a laptop pocket as well as a variety of other zippers and pockets for ultimate storage and organization, the overall backpack dimensions are 14″ x 19″ x 8″.  Truly a great bag to get us through the year.

Next up is the Five Star Flex® 1″ Hybrid NoteBinder.  This is definitely the best 3 Ring Binder that I’ve ever seen.  It actually mimics a notebook!  The cover can be folded completely back and over for easy note writing and the rings are made with plastic coated covers that are guaranteed not to break!  Also included are 5 tabbed pocket dividers as well as 80 sheets of loose leaf notebook paper.  Available in a variety of colors, I am super impressed with the quality and performance of the Five Star Flex Hybrid NoteBinder!

Mead and Five Star also offers a variety of other products to help round off Back To School needs like their: Five Star Reinforced Filler Paper 100 Sheets Pack to refill your NoteBinder as well as fun notebooks, folders, and more.  I love buying brands that I can trust and Five Star and Mead is at the top of my list for school readiness.
