I picked up my son's registration packet for kindergarten yesterday. (Still can't believe my baby is going to kindergarten. Sniff, sniff. But, that's a story for another day!) Geez, how many forms can they make us fill out? So overwhelming and seemingly redundant in many ways. Amongst the huge stack of papers, guidelines, and forms was the obligatory school supply list. Wow, so much for just needing to buy a backpack, pencils, and notebook anymore, huh? The kindergarten supply list has nearly 20 items on it! Crazy!
Personally, I was one of those nerdy kids that always got fired up about "back to school" time because, being the organizer that I am, I couldn't wait to pick out all of my new school supplies, especially my new Trapper Keeper! Ironically though, my husband came home from the store just the other day and said he saw the three most dreaded words for kids. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what he was talking about. Then it dawned on me... "Back to School". Yep, when you're a kid, those three words on store signs and ads mean summer and endless days of fun are almost over.
Anyways, so as I'm looking over this long list of school supplies that I need to buy for my son, I couldn't help but think that they forgot a very important supply... a Lifetime Personal Table! Ok, so I know you don't really need one at school, but for older kids it is important to have a designated place to do homework at home... and a Lifetime Personal Table is the perfect size for a desk. (Not to mention the perfect price!) And, you can fold it up and stash in under a bed or behind a door if space is really limited.
So, while you're buying your list of school supplies, don't forget to throw a Lifetime Personal Table in your cart, too. And, I'll let you in on a little secret.... now is the perfect time to buy one! In case you missed Joe's last post, Buylifetime.com is having a special "Christmas in July" sale!
