Category: Back to School

It’s the end of August and moms all across the nation are getting ready for back to school. Whether that means getting new supplies or breaking out the cold weather gear to see what still fits and which kids will need new parkas and boots, either way families are trying to get organized again after the lazy days of summer. You can get unique and fun paper products for Back to School with Tiny Prints.

When our daughter was in school my favorite thing to do was put little notes in her lunch box.

There is a new individually wrapped Kraft snack product that is out on the store shelves just in time for back to school lunches, and it’s a better snack option for kids!

This is what my daughter had to say about them:

I recently had the pleasure of trying Honey Maid’s newest creation, the Grahamfuls. If you’re not sure what they are, Grahamfuls are two long graham crackers with a layer of filling between them–and trust me, they’re delicious!

I don’t know how many of my readers know that I am actually a new-er American. My family and I became citizens in 2010 after having immigrated to the United States in 1999. We didn’t come far, just over the northern border from Canada, but even after almost 13 years of living here, I still notice the cultural differences between the two countries.

That being said I’m going to share some deals with my Canadian readers in this post.

I hope you all had a chance to watch today’s episode of CBS’s “The Talk” where lifestyle expert Chi-Lan Lieu demo-ed some of the hottest back to school items.

Now here on Three Different Directions, thanks to The Talk, we have a GIVEAWAY FOR THE BACK TO SCHOOL ITEMS that were featured on the show August 3rd!

School supplies, clothes, hair cuts, those are all things we tend to think about when the back-to-school season is upon us. But how about safety? Sometimes that can get lost in the transition of summer fun to classroom, but here are 3 easy ways to keep your tweens/teens safe and help them live secure as fall and school rolls around again.

Lifestyle expert Chi-Lan Lieu demos some of the hottest back to school items on CBS’s daytime emmy-nominated talk show “The Talk” on Friday August 3 (2:00-3:00 PM, ET; 1:00-2:00 PM, PT)!

LifeBytes are USB flash drives made by Dane-Elec. I was given the opportunity to freely review the Peace USB Drive. This was perfect for me because my daughter, Amber, is a high school junior this year and does almost all of her school work ‘electronically’.

What I love most about the LifeBytes USB flash drives is … they are small in size but large on storage (they hold up to 8GB of data).

They even have handy ‘holes’ built in, so that you can add a lanyard to hang the drive around your neck to take along that way.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s time to start gearing up for the back-to-school season! Luckily, the Post-it Brand has a variety of products to help busy families, students and employees plan and get organized for this busy season.

Master Lock Precision Dial

I remember the first padlock I had to use in school, it was seventh grade – and I was fortunate enough to have an easy combination to remember.  22 – 11- 22 (see I still remember it over 25 years later!)
