EZSchoolSupplies-Order Now, Save Money!

Written by Elizabeth on July 15, 2008 – 5:02 pm -

Okay, I know it’s still summer, but for a lot of states, school starts in about six weeks! Yikes! Here in Michigan, a law was passed that school can’t start until after Labor Day, but it’s still not too early to start thinking about all the stuff that has to be purchased before the start of the school year. You know, paper, pencils, binders, glue sticks, folders, rulers, pens, scissors, erasers…Ack! But thanks to Parent Reviewers and EZ School Supplies, I’m going to show how you can make school supply shopping easy, and save money too!

1. Start by going to EZSchoolSupplies.com. In the top left corner, type in your ZIP code. If your school has already registered for the site, you’ll see it there. If not, that’s okay! Someone representing your school can register, and then create a School Supply List called an EZPack. Parents can go to the site, type in the school’s name, buy the EZPack, and have everything their child needs for school supplies! Easy, Stress Free!

2. Save Money- For every pre-approved, pre-packaged EZPack that is purchased, the school’s parent support group-like the PTA, PTO, School Booster Club, whatever your school calls it-gets back TEN PERCENT of the purchase price, either in cash, or in additional supplies So you buy the school supplies you need, and your school gets cash it can use for student programs, or extra supplies!

3. Homeschooling? No parent group at your school? You can save money too! I have an exclusive discount code you can use to save ten percent on your purchase from EZSchool Supplies, and the best part? The discount code NEVER EXPIRES! So when you run out of glue sticks and erasers in February, you can come back here, get the code, and save another ten percent! w00t!

****Use this code at checkout to save ten percent- EZMB039 -****

4. Teachers, don’t wait until the last minute! Use the EZ Teacher Form to choose from a list of the most popular school supplies and make a supply list. It’s easy to make changes to it as you need. Print out great looking flyers right from the site that you can send to your students or post around the school letting parents know that they can use EZSchoolSupplies to make their purchases. You can ask for product information and price quotes ahead of time so you know exactly what your costs will be.

5. PTA Parents, get your school excited about school supplies! Use one of the great PDF files on the site (located on the right side of the page under the link EZ Forms and Downloads) to make fun posters for classrooms and school rooms. Need personalized school mascot items? EZSchoolSupplies can customize everything including backpacks, T-shirts, student planners water bottles and even pencils!

Writing this review has made me excited about back to school supply shopping! Remember, use discount code EZMB039, whether you are buying for yourself or to help raise money for your school, and save Ten Percent on school supplies!

Parent Reviewers Giveaway-Trendy Tadpole Tees

Written by Elizabeth on July 7, 2008 – 9:17 am -

I’ve recently started working with a new review group called Parent Reviewers, and I’m pleased to help spread the word about their giveaway. Trendy Tadpole (”hip tops for trendy tots”) is sponsoring a giveaway on Parent Reviewers of two very cool tops. It’s so fun to find clever shirts for Kaitlyn to wear, not that I don’t appreciate her need to adorn herself with as much Dora the Explorer merchandise as possible, but sometimes I want her to look more hip than that! She would definitely be a hit at the playground wearing one of Trendy Tadpole’s tees. I have my eye on the “Oh, Snap” frog shirt, and the “Daddy” tattoo shirt too.

To enter, stop by Parent Reviewers for all of the entry details!

Tone your legs with Fit Flops

Written by Elizabeth on May 24, 2008 – 10:57 pm -

Just in time for summer, a website with the strange but fitting name of sweatyBetty has introduced the Fit Flop, a sandal that uses “micro wobbleboard™ technology” to tone the muscles of your thighs and butt every time you take a step. What an interesting concept! sweatyBetty is comprised of a team of “Betties” who take fitness very, very seriously-their about page shows them biking, skating, sailing, surfing, running, and doing yoga. The team has been written up in magazines and has won awards for their Customer Service Initiative and a “nation’s brightest businesswomen” award.

Fit Flops come in Black, Chocolate, Navy, Silver, and Red, and women all over England are using them to slim their legs. They sure are cute, but I wonder how comfortable they are? Or if I would just “wobble” right over onto my face if I tried to walk in them! This is the Fit Flop in Chocolate:

While I was on the site looking at Fitflops, I took a minute to read the link called “Betty’s Planet”. As a company, sweatyBetty is committed to doing their part to make the world a healthier place. They recycle paper into bedding for a bunny (awww!), they give employees cash towards the purchase of a bicycle so they don’t have to drive to work, they use wood hangers and bags made of recyclable paper, they don’t use photocopiers because of the paper waste, and they have timers on all the lighting. Way to go, sweatyBetties!! If you are interested in toning your legs while wearing a cute sandal, check out Fit Flops from sweatyBetty.com, a company that cares about you and the planet!
