As Cam is going to be on his own, we have been working on learning how to clean. For this, having the right products is essential! At move in, dorm rooms have to be swept and mopped, bathrooms have to be cleaned and walls sparkling with Magic Eraser. So we made a quick trip out to Sam's Club to get ready for back to class!

Sam's Club makes it easy to stock up on everything we need. During August, getting Cam ready for back to class is all about organizing and picking up some of my fave products:

We picked up:

Swiffer Duster Dusting Kit

These are a must have for dusty dorm rooms!

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Variety Pack

I can't say enough about how much I love Mr Clean Magic Erasers. When I first tried them out years ago, I bought packs of them for my family and friends to try out. From cleaning scuffed up walls to bath tubs and more, they are a wonder!

Swiffer Sweeper Dry Refills

For tackling those dusty floors, these are perfect for keeping on track with cleaning.

Swiffer Sweeper Wet Refills

And of course, the awesome Swiffer Sweeper Wet Refills are perfect for cleaning up grimy dorm floors before moving everything in.

When you purchase all 3 together, it is a $22 savings!

Up to $6.00 savings on Swiffer Duster
Up to $8.00 savings on Swiffer Sweeper Wet refills
Up to $8.00 savings on Swiffer Sweeper Dry refills

MORE GOODIES TO BACK FOR BACK TO SCHOOL:

SWEETS KIT:

Your homemade cookies or the bakery, a care package isn't complete without a sweet treat. Pack items tightly in a plastic container (fill in extra space with clean paper towels) and then wrap with bubble wrap.

GIFT CARD KIT:

Send gift cards to stores and restaurants in a care package or email. Choose big-box retailers like Target or Walmart, coffee or sandwich chains like Starbucks, Subway, and Panera, and local establishments like the college bookstore.

SNACK KIT:

Consider snacks, like granola bars, microwave popcorn, and hot chocolate mixes, as well as more substantial mini-meals—such as instant oatmeal and soup—for rushed mornings and missed dining hall dinners. Mints and gum are always welcome in a care package too.

HOLIDAY KIT:

Festive accessories are surprisingly welcome and uplifting for a kid away from home for the first time; this care package idea is also nice to send in anticipation of your kid coming home for the holidays. Keep items small, like a desktop Christmas tree, a mini-menorah, and Easter baskets or Halloween pumpkins filled with candy. Seasonally themed lights, like orange for Halloween or green for St. Patrick's Day, are also fun.

GET WELL/ FIRST AID KIT:

Make a mini first-aid care package by filling a tin with:

Items include:

Band-aids
Antibiotic ointment
Advil
Gas X {dorm food makes this one essential}
Benadryl
Milk of magnesia
Thermometer
Instant ice pack
Pepto
Throat losenges
Cold medicine
Q-Tips
Nail clippers
Hydrogen Peroxide
An ace bandage
Cotton balls
Small pair scissors
Small pair of tweezers

CLEANING KIT:

Dorms need to be clean. Pack some Mr. Clean multi-surface spray, paper towels, Swiffer dusting cloths, and electronics cleaner, and throw in a bottle of Febreze air freshener for good measure.
