Get Organized to Go Back to School

Going Back-to-School shopping is always something that I look forward to doing with my children. But I am always rushing as I have to buy so much in so little time. I consider myself to be very unorganized as I just go pick up whatever I can find on sale. The downfall is I end up buying things my kids don't need and the items I purchased ends up becoming clutter.

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to view a special blogcast featuring the organizational expert Peter Walsh and the award-winning teacher, Ana Picazo. I was truly happy to be apart of this as I learned some very useful tips about organization and how to properly prepare my kids for going back-to-school. I know being a parent I am always looking for the best advice as I want my children to get the best school experience possible.
I learned a lot during this blogcast, if you did not have the pleasure of watching it, I will include the link below so you can see for yourself how how amazing Peter Walsh truly is.
Also for participating I was sent a nice sized box of Schoolio Von Hoolio products, they are really stylish and most importantly affordable. My girls love love the new line so much they can't wait to start school as they can't wait to show all their friends the new super cool new school supplies.

If you would like to watch the Blogcast you can view it here.
Here is a recap of back-to-school organization tips shared during the blogcast…

Schoolio Von Hoolio Darling Collection- prices range from .99-$5.99

You can purchase the Schoolio Von Hoolio Darling Collection at any Office Max location. Please visit www.officemax.com for more details.

Also they have a back to school for pennies sale going on right now too.

If you are a first time parent or you are not really sure what you should buy Office Max has this nice little feature called School List. I love this feature so much as all you have to do is choose your child's grade and it will give you a list of supplies and the prices. This comes in handy as you would know exactly what you need to spend without spending too much on items that your child don't need.

Happy Going Back to School Shopping!!
