Helpful Fellowes Products for Back to School Available at Shoplet.com

**I received the below reviewed products as part of the Shoplet.com blogger program. No other compensation has been received**

Before we know it our kids will be back into the swing of school including homework, studying, and reports. I’m sure they don’t want to think about that yet but that doesn’t mean you can prepare. Shoplet.com has all the office supplies you need to help your highschool, middle school, or college level scholar be organized and typing up their reports a little easier (and more comfortable I might add).

I remember when I was in highschool in my wordprocessing class having this document holder that would hold our papers up beside our computer screen which made it easy to type and read the paper we were working on. It also allowed for quicker typing. When I went to college I bought one for myself and used it to type up my papers and notes. After several moves it got lost and I really missed it. I had thought a number of times how useful it would be with my blog.

Fellowes Document lift with dry erase surface (FEL9311501) This one can stand beside your computer to hold your document you need to type. It also has 3 separate parts so if you want to just use the dry erase board part, maybe for a presentation, you could. You could also just use the clip with the dry erase board like a clipboard if you wished.

I’m actually using mine as I type this to keep try of keywords, links, etc.

While you’re kid is typing up the minimum 3 page report assigned by their English Literature teacher, why not let them type in comfort with the Fellowes Laptop Riser I-Sire Series (FEL9311201)

The Fellowes Laptop Riser allows for better viewing and typing angles. There are two small brackets at the bottome that keep your laptop from slipping off the riser. There are also rubber grips on the bottom the keep the riser from sliding on the table or desk.

Fellowes has a number of other products available on Shoplet.com to help you and your child make it through the school year.

BeFrugal offers 4% Cash Back at Old Navy and Other Back To School Favorites

**This post does contain referral links. Regardless I only post legitimate offers from trusted sites**

I totally took advantage of the $10 jeans sale Old Navy had last week for my kids for school (then again, I always do). I had to buy for 3 boys for back to school this year so every dollar saved is good in my book. Of course the adult jeans were $19 and my oldest son is in adult sizes but it’s still a good deal. Anywho I got my oldest son 2 pair of jeans, my youngest son 2 pair of jeans, and my middle son 1 pair (because I had already bought him a pair on sale over the summer.) My oldest son actually picked out one pair that were on sale for $17 for some reason so Yay! Old Navy offers free shipping on orders over $50 which of course I had $66 to be exact plus I used BeFrugal.com and earned 4% cash back on my purchase (more then some other cash back sites). So I earned $2.64 back on my purchase. So for me it was like getting 5 pair of Old Navy jeans for a total of $63. 36. So I’m happy.

If you missed the $10 jeans sale at Old Navy, no worries. I just check the site. They still have some kids jeans on sale for $10 and some adults jeans for $19 so it’s not too late.

Crazy Dog T-shirts Put the Cool in Back to School

**I received a tshirt from CrazyDogTshirts.com in order to complete an honest review. No other compensation has been received**

I own a couple Crazy Dog T-shirts myself. I love some of the vintage shirts they have, shirts from some of my fave movies, and funny shirts.

Crazy Dog T-Shirts started in 2004 by founder Bill Kingston while attending Ithaca College. He started selling a few designs as part of a final project for an e-commerce class. The orders continued even after college so he kept with it. The company has grown since then with 15 full-time employees and 2 Part-Time.
80% of the designs they sell are printed in house. The others, they work with partners like Junk Food and David & Goliath to give you the best selection at good prices.

Since I already have a few shirts I had purchased in the past from Crazy Dog, I know that they’re good quality t-shirts. I wear my shirts frequently because I think they’re a fun way to show my personality and sense of humor. My son saw this shirt and just had to have it.

It says “Scuba Steve Scuba Squad” If you’re not able to read it. Pop quiz, do you know which movie this shirt is from? My son loves this shirt. He wants to wear it almost every day. In fact I had to sneak it out of his bedroom to wash it. I know, boys, right? When we were looking at the shirts, my oldest son saw a bunch he liked too. They were laughing and pointing out different shirts. They like them so much I told them I’d get them each a couple (as appropriate for school) for their back to school clothes shopping. They were super excited about that.

Crazy Dog TShirts are soft and durable. They have a little room for give which is great for me with my 3 growing boys. I’ve snuck his Scuba Steve shirt into the wash a few times and it doesn’t seem to have shrunk or faded.

You can find Crazy Dog T-shirts on the following social media sites:

Ok did you guess what my son’s shirt is from. The movie “Big Daddy” with Adam Sandler. The boy in the movie, his favorite hero was Scuba Steve. Did you get it?

Get Ready For Back To School With Lovable Labels

**I received a Lovable Labels Back to School pack as part of their Love Bug blogger program. I also have a chance to earn free products when someone uses my coupon code**

It’s August and it will be time for the kids to go back to school before we know it. I know I’ll be taking my kids either this week or next to get some clothes, shoes, and a back pack for school. Let’s face it, even with deals, if you have several kids to by for (or even one) it can get expensive. Make sure you label your child’s things with easy to read Lovable Labels, they have a label for just about everything.

I got a Lovable Labels Back to School pack for my youngest son, my baby boy will be starting pre-school in the fall..sniff sniff. They require spare clothes, backpacks, toys, etc that come to the building with the child to be labeled. This is an easy and effective way to make sure I get that done.

Lovable Labels Back to School Pack includes:
–30 Multi-Purpose Labels
–80 Slimline Labels
–12 Shoe Labels
–48 Press N’ Stick Clothing DOTS
–12 Square Labels
–2 Mini Metal Tags

All labels are dishwasher & microwave safe AND washer & Dryer safe. There are also 8 new fun designs to choose from in the Back to School Packs. I let my son choose his design and he picked “Ahoy Ye Matey” design. Pirates, love it.

One of my personal faves is the Press n’ Stick Clothing DOTS. They stick to fabric and can go through the washer and dryer. You don’t have to worry about them coming off. Great for the kiddos jackets, spare clothes for pre-school, etc. If the article I want to label has a tag, I like to stick them right on the tag so it’s easy for someone to spot. If not I just stick it to the inside of the back of a shirt or jacket where a tag might be.

The slimline designs are discreet and would be good to put on a book cover or even your favorite writing tool or a ruler.

You can also save 10% until Sept 1, 2013 with my coupon code: AngieLB2

Neck-Wear.net for School Pictures This Year

**I received the below mentioned products at no cost in order to complete an honest review from Neck-wear.net. No other compensation has been received.**

Each year I try to dress my boys a little different for their school pics. One year they wore polo shirts, another year they wore short sleeve button down shirts, still another year it was sweater vests over a long sleeve shirt. I realized in all their school pics I haven’t had them wear a tie. I brought the idea up to my boys this year and my oldest one said, “Ok but I want to wear a bowtie” Ok no problem.

Neck-Wear.net has a big selection of ties, bowties, clip on ties, and boys’ ties. I really like Neck-Wear.net because they have a big selection of ties that are only $5! Love that for my budget. That price makes it easy to out fit a few boys for school pictures.

I had received a solid red men’s tie and bowtie to review from their site. My oldest son was more than happy to be the model for the ties.

I’m thinking we’ll go with a different shirt but he just loves the bowtie. He said he wants to wear it for school pics for sure. What color shirt do you think would go good with this bright red bowtie? Of course white is always an option but I was thinking maybe a light blue shirt with some red details in it if I could find it. This bowtie was super easy to put on too. It wasn’t one that you have to actually tie into a bowtie. It has a hook on it with an adjustable length on it to fit different neck size which I love. As fast as this boy grows he’ll have this tie as an option for a few years at least.

See how easy it hooks. My son could put this on himself without help. We then tried the regular tie that we received.

I admit, my tie tying skills need some work but the tie itself is lovely. My son loves wearing ties too because it makes him feel like “a man”. He’s only 11 but he keeps telling me he’s growing a mustache. I don’t see it yet but I know all that stuff will be happening way sooner then I’d like it to.

Would you like to win a gift code to pick out some ties for your guys for their school pics? Or maybe even for your man for work or a date night?
