Back to School time means one thing that I love- shopping for new school supplies! I love the bins at Target full of 39 cent glue sticks and safety scissors and pencil sharpeners. I love sharpening new pencils and filling up new zippered cases for the boys to tuck in their backpacks. And now, thanks to Carolina Pad and Paper, us Moms can shop for our own new supplies! Think about it, you are going to have forms to fill out and notices from the teachers to organize, you might have IEP forms or medication forms, whatever you have, why not use beautiful organizational supplies to get everything ready for back to school?

Available at Wal-Mart, Simply Chic is a line of classic designs with pops of color, and Eye Candy is bright and full of fun colors. Thanks to MomCentral, I got a box full of samples from each line and it was so fun going through everything! Here’s what I got:

From the Simply Chic collection I received the green portable hanging file with white polka dots, two fashion ballpoint pens, the black with white stripes folder, a yellow with white polka dots organizational folder with 8 plastic pockets, and a hardcover journal I just love, black with a white Fleur de Lis pattern on the outside and yellow with white polka dots on the inside.

From Eye Candy I got a mouse pad, white with colorful flowers, a box of note cards and a monthly calendar, both white with large multi-colored polka dots. Anything from either of these lines of products would be great to send to a student headed off to college to brighten up their dorm room desk, or to use for your own desk at home. I’m especially happy I got the hanging file because I needed something to put all the press materials I get with products for review, so that I can refer to them when I’m writing. And a cute polka dota file organizer is a lot better than just piling papers up on my desk until they threaten to topple over like an avalanche.

Get organized! Get to Wal-Mart and look for Simply Chic and Eye Candy, or go to CarolinaPad.com, and get organized with style!
