The sale ads have started popping up for that dreaded first day back! Teachers are sending you lists, your kids are running you ragged, and all you can think about is how do I have more to buy for these twinados? Maybe this is their first year in school or their 12th year there are always supplies to buy and keep on hand. But did you know that some of your favorite online stores also carry school supplies and have amazing back to school deals? Yup, we have combed through the ads, checked in my teacher brain arsenal, and came up with a list to help you on your search! This is geared more towards the little twinnies but you never know what your teen may want or need!
1. First Day of School Sign Board
Isn’t there some unwritten rule that as parents we must document, document, document the heck out of the lives of our children and make them post worthy? This is a dual-sided chalkboard so you can have the first and the last day covered!

You have gone through the trouble of getting all of this new swag for your twinnies, then you need to make them own them…with labels. What kid does not want to know stuff is specifically theirs? And what mom does not want the stuff she sent to school to come home to the right house?
