The Sewing Mom

My daughter and I headed out early this morning to get a few errands done.  Our last stop was not planned, but we decided to run in to Target to check out their binders, the last thing on her back to school supply shopping list.  Surprisingly, she managed to find the binder that she really liked and it was such a relief to know that she now has everything.

As we were leaving the store, we walked throught the electronics department.  We have a habit of doing this to check out the Wii games.  We never buy anything, but we do like to see if, by chance, anything we want might happen to be on sale.  So, we walked into the video game aisle and, there it was.  The first time I’d ever seen one in person.   A nice shiny white bog with big greeen letters on it:  Wii Fit.  It was sitting in the glass case, shining up at me and I could even see the words “BUY ME” flashing across my brain.

A quick call to my husband to let him know of the good news and the price, and then it was ours, and not a moment too soon.  I no sooner had asked a sales associate to open the case for me when another couple of ladies walked around the corner, disappointed that they had just missed getting it for themselves.  mmuuuuuhahahahahah!  It’s MINE!

I can’t wait to try it out.

Every year I find myself searching the advertisements for sales on school supplies. Then, I find myself running from store to store looking for just the right items. It makes it more challenging because my daughter is somewhat choosy about her school supplies and what she wants, so I always have to make sure she is with me. Of course, as much as I love having her with me, it always ends up taking me longer and costing me more! This year is no different, except that she’s going into junior high so their are some additional items to hunt down.

I would love it if our school district would utilize the EZ School Supplies program. Through EZSchoolSupplies.com, schools can register, enter their supply lists and receive a promotional package to help inform students and parents about the program. Students and parents can then order prepackaged school supplies that are exactly what their teachers want and require them to have. Not only does it help students be prepared for class, but it helps them to be successful in school, after all, being prepared leads to a feeling of confidence. Being confident leads to success.

I was fortunate to receive a sample box of school supplies from EZSchoolSupplies.com and I have to tell you, the items in it were all first rate, quality products. These weren’t knock of brands either, they were name brands, items I would purchase if I was at the store shopping. I even love the box the supplies came in, it has a convenient carry handle and is large enough to accommodate the large size construction paper and deep enough to stack up all the folders and markers and still have room to add to it. It’s a great way to keep the supplies organized and handy.

EZSchoolSupplies.com carries all kinds of school supplies, including these:

• 3-RING BINDERS

• BACKPACKS

• CRAYONS

• ELECTRONICS

• ERASERS

If you’re not sure if your school utilizes EZSchoolSupplies.com, take a look at their website, type in your zip code and it will show the schools in your area who participate.  It does benefit the schools who do participate in more ways than one.  Besides helping the students to be prepared, schools who participate earn 10% of the total net sales.  It’s a great fundraiser and something all students can use.
