When school starts there are going to be mornings, where we are rushing to get ready for school. I hate mornings like that but it does happen, we wake up late or just take to long with showers.

There are times my kids will not get enough breakfast to eat, before we have to run out and catch the bus. So I always have a breakfast snack on hand to give them, just in case.

The BelVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits are a great breakfast snack before school.

belVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits are not only a tasty morning treat, they’re also a nutritious way to start your day. Made with ingredients like rolled oats and rye,

They come in two varieties:

  • Oats and Chocolate
  • Mixed Berry

**** These are so good, and a great snack to have on hand. The Oats and Chocolate is perfect for adults too, you can have your chocolate snack while still getting your oats.   The Mixed Berry is also dairy free, so you don’t have to worry about allergies. We have a lactose allergy in our family so it was great to be able for us to all eat these breakfast biscuits.

#BackToSchool With Milk In Your Lunchbox #MilkUnleashed #SP

I loved being in school and having the little milk cartons you could pick out and drink, even better when they started offering chocolate.

Now that my kids are in school they love being able to get their lunches at school and picking out their chocolate milk. Although, my daughter has brought to my attention that there have been a few times, that she received milk that was expired or expired that day.

Since then we have been packing a lunch or just packing Shelf Stable Milk. I love the idea of Shelf stable milk, no need to worry about it getting old or to warm in kids backpacks. No need to keep it cold. All they need to do is take the milk out and drink it with their lunch.

My kids love the varieties that we find. They have regular milk, chocolate, strawberry, white chocolate, organic and so much more. They are so excited about being able to pick out what flavor milk that want packed in their lunch each day.
My son said that Strawberry and chocolate are his favorites so far.

Have you tried Shelf Stable Milk in your child’s lunches?

4x160 37396 ML Bundle

We still have 2 weeks before school starts, but I am already dreading the first time they come home sick. Luckily Kleenex Tissue is on hand to take care of those sniffles in the classroom. You may not realize but Kleenex even helps school earn money. Every box of Kleenex tissue has 1 Box Top For Education on the box. That earns your school 10 cents. May not seem like a lot, but they do add up.

Kleenex Brands is supporting back to school by:

  • By promoting healthy kids and continuing its tradition of leadership through innovation with new Kleenex Everyday Tissue with Sneeze Shield, which is now thicker and more absorbent to help keep the wet stuff off kids’ hands. Plus they come in a variety of portable and convenient package sizes, perfect for tossing in backpacks.
  •  Kleenex brand is the only facial tissue that participates in Box Tops for Education, donating a total of $13MM to date. Parents can support their schools as well by purchasing Kleenex Tissue with Box Tops for the kid’s classroom.

We have been saving up Box Tops all summer from Kleenex boxes as well as other products.  I love how much they help our school.

Kleenex just recently made the announcement that 3 schools from Teacherslist.com has won their sweepstakes of 250,000 Box Tops. How exciting is that.

Thanks to Kleenex I will be donating Boxes of tissue to my child’s school, when they go back. They each are taking a few to their classrooms, to ensure they stay healthy this winter.

Isaac has some of the cutest fashions available for fall.

The collection is hitting stores this August, an is made up of bright colors and fun phrases.  Some of the shirts say Hooray!, Really?, or are full of sparkles.   It’s everything that my kids love in clothes, sparkles, fun, and colors.

We got to try a few outfits for our Back To School guide.

IMG_0570

This sparkly heart shirt goes with everything, and really stands out.

IMG_0571

My daughter loves this outfit. The Hooray shirt is so fun, and the leopard print leggings just add to the pizazz.

The shirts have a silky quality to them instead of being cotton, and the leggings are more like jeggings with a zipper and buttons. I would also suggest checking the sizing chart as the clothes seeed to be a bit on the larger side. The leggings were very long.

Pieces range from $25-$100

Post It’s have gone Mobile! well technically they have always been mobile, but now they are so much easier to carry and use.  The mobile Post It’s are designed to keep you organized while your on the go, where ever you are.

IMG_0545

The products:

  • Attach and Go Notes and Tabs Clip dispenser
  • Mobile attach and go Car Visor  Pop-up Note Dispenser
  • Attach and Go Full Adhesive Pad
  • Attach and Go Flags Dispenser
  • Attach and Go Notes an Tab Dispenser
  • Attach and Go Insert
  • Attach and Go 3-1 Pen

The Mobile Attach and Go products have made it so much easier around the house getting ready for school.   I have put the full adhesive pad on my laptop and Car Visor Pop Up Dispenser in my car, for those last minute items I may think of on my way to the store.   The pad on my laptop is great for when I am working, to write down notes and ideas without having to search for paper.

My favorite product of the bunch is the Attach and Go 3-1 Pen. This is now the pen that I use constantly. The pen is a black in pen on one side, a yellow highlighter on the other. Then the cap has a flag dispenser on it, for when you need to hold your place ina  book or mark papers you have already worked on etc.
