The back-to-school season is more than just a flurry of shopping and preparation; it’s an opportunity to set the stage for a successful year. In last week’s post, 9 Ways to Get Organized for Back to School, I shared some strategies that have helped my family start the school year right. 

But what about the tools that make organization possible?

As a mother who has navigated these chaotic waters many times, I want to take this opportunity to share with you some back-to-school essentials that I personally believe in. 

These aren’t just products; they’re parts of our daily lives, helping my family and me stay organized and prepared for the adventures of a new school year. Let’s dive in!

The Protection Your iPad Needs

Kids will be kids, and their digital devices often pay the price! An iPad protector case has saved our devices countless times. Invest in one, and say goodbye to those panic-filled moments when the iPad slips from little hands.

There are many options out there, catering to different needs and budgets. Some come with stands, allowing for hands-free viewing, while others have handles designed specifically for little hands. 

Some are colorful and fun, reflecting our children’s personalities. But the common thread is protection, preservation, and peace of mind.

A File Organizer to End All Clutter

While digital learning is the future, paper hasn’t disappeared yet. 

A lightweight file organizer is my secret to ensuring my children’s backpacks aren’t bursting with crumbled papers.

Trust me, their teachers will thank you!

LeSportsac Multi-Zippered Pouch: A Backpack’s Best Friend

Never underestimate the power of a well-organized backpack.

Although initially sold as a cosmetics bag, this LeSportsac Multi-Zippered Pouch has become invaluable in our household.

With its multiple compartments, it’s perfect for neatly stowing away those small but essential items like lunch cards, keys, and masks. Everything has its place, eliminating the morning scramble.

IGLOO Water Bottle: Keep Them Hydrated

For school and sports, I’ve found the IGLOO water bottle to be incredibly reliable. Plus, it encourages my children to stay hydrated, and that’s a win in my book! 

Its sleek design and lightweight construction make it easy to carry, while the spill-proof features ensure it’s as practical as it is stylish. 

In our household, the IGLOO has become a trusted companion, a small but significant part of our back-to-school essentials. I wouldn’t want to be without it.

Post-Its: Not Just for Moms

3M Post-Its aren’t just for grocery lists—they’re excellent bookmarks for school workbooks, too. 

They’ve taught my family a thing or two about organization. From color-coding subjects to marking important pages, these little sticky notes have turned into an essential tool in our back-to-school prep. 

They’ve transformed the way my son Nick interacts with his study materials, making learning a more engaging and organized experience.

Comfort Meets Style with Skechers

My children’s Skechers Uniform Shoes are more than just fashionable; they’re all about comfort. They’ve become a staple in our back-to-school prep. 

Available in all black, these shoes match any school uniform and can withstand the rigorous school environment, keeping children’s feet happy all day long.

The EPSON EcoTank: A Printer for Modern Families

Since we waved goodbye to ink cartridges and welcomed the EcoTank ET-2850 into our lives, printing school projects has never been so cost-effective or efficient. 

A genuine lifesaver! 

With features like auto-duplex printing and a high-resolution flatbed scanner, it’s become an indispensable tool in our home, especially during the new school year.

P-touch Label Printer: Organization in Style

Labels? Yes, please!

This Brother P-Touch Label Printer is a fun way to keep everything organized—from school books to water bottles. 

And the kids love it too! It adds a personalized touch to their work areas, making back-to-school organization a breeze.

Sports Equipment Organizer: No More Mess

Are your kids juggling different sports? A sports equipment organizer will help you keep everything in order.

It’s a sanity saver for busy parents. 

From soccer balls to tennis rackets, it’s the perfect solution to keep everything accessible and tidy, turning chaotic mornings into smooth departures for practice or games.

Leuchtturm Notebooks: A Student’s Dream

One for each subject, Leuchtturm notebooks have simplified our school organization. Beautiful, durable, and just plain awesome. 

They’re not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly functional, with numbered pages and a table of contents, enhancing my children’s study experience as they tackle their new school year.

These school essentials, tried and tested by yours truly, have made our back-to-school season smoother. From technology protection to stylish organization, each of these items has been a game-changer in our household. They’re not just about convenience; they’re about bringing joy, peace, and efficiency to a hectic time of year.

As we embark on a new school year, I hope these recommendations make your back-to-school prep as delightful and stress-free as they’ve made ours. If you found these back-to-school organization tips for moms helpful, I invite you to share this post with other parents and explore my other blogs.
