Back to School Styles from Swap.com

When it comes to preparing the kids for the new school year, we find that along with the school supplies that we as parents must also go through the closets and drawers, get rid of what no longer fits and make a list of what the kids will need when it comes to the clothing in the new school year. Like many parents, I find that this whole process can be quite a task, I mean, I have to go through quite a bit of clothes, look at the sizes, have kids try on various items, make a pile of keepers, one of items they can no longer wear, then also make a list while doing all of this of how many pairs of pants we will need to get, how many shirts, sweaters and jackets as well. I also find that even after I have done all of this, that I look over to see bags and bags of clothes that I might say I will sell in a garage sale, but know deep down that I do not have time for that and know that those clothes will most likely sit there and join the clothes from prior years as well. So when I learned about Swap.com a few years ago, I found that I can avoid that dreaded pile up of gently used clothes in my garage, as well as the issue of trying to find the clothes the kids need and stay in the budget we have set, by utilizing Swap.com for both selling and buying clothes for my entire family!

See with Swap.com, I can go on at any time of the year when I have clothes to get rid of that my family and I no longer wear, go to my account, print out a shipping label, box up the clothes I want to send in and ship them off. When my box arrives, I can track the process of the acceptance, price the items, list them and await for the emails to come in as my items sell. I can then take that money I make on Swap.com and use to purchase both new and gently used clothes for my entire family that includes the pants the kids need and seem to go through quickly, the sweaters and shirts we all need and even those jackets we might need as it gets colder out.

Then say I am just needing to get some of that back to school shopping done and want to find those brand names that the kids want but do not want to spend so much, I can do that too! Because when I shop at Swap.com, I can shop for those brands we love and get the looks we are after at 80-90% off retail! Making the choice to both consign and shop at Swap.com, a choice that is very family budget friendly and also a choice that can help to save me time while both saving and making money! And right now you can save even more when you use code 25bts, for 25% off of a $30 purchase at Swap.com and you can get free shipping on your first order of $10 or more!

Homeschooling Help with Study ’N Play Desk & Chair

When it comes to the back to school season, we find that there are a variety of needs when it comes to the supplies and tools needed to get through the year with. Like for kids who are going to preschool vs grade school and even more so for kids who are homeschooled. And like many who homeschool, when it comes to Heather and her family, as they prepare for the back to school season, they find that they need not just the basic supplies that they use for getting assignments done, but also classroom supplies as well. So when we were sent the Study ’N Play Desk & Chair from American Plastics to review, I knew that it would be very handy for Heather and her family to have on hand as they embark on another year of homeschooling in their home! You can read Heather's review below.

First off, I must say that this desk is perfect for having on hand for preschoolers. This little desk is great for my son Aiden who is 4. He uses this little desk daily to color, play games, and even have a snack at. I like that it was really simple to put together and that we did not need any tools since it all snaps together in just a few minutes. There are several little compartments and pockets to store books, crayons, coloring pages, and pens in. The little stool is the perfect height for the desk and also for using it as a step stool in the kitchen or bathroom to reach the sink, or help out on the counter making things. This is great to keep things in one place and makes it easy for little ones to find what they want when they need it. Which in all, I find that the Study ’N Play Desk & Chair is great for anyone with a young child that loves to color, do arts and crafts, or for school work. 




Product received, thank you to American Plastics as well as the PR for supplying me with a product for this review, all opinions are my own.
