Before you know it, it will be back to school time! I remember when my son Cam started kindergarten, we had to work on getting organized. We had to label everything, down to every crayon and marker, with his initials!

A few weeks into school and Cam lost his special Star Wars lunch box. He was crushed! After calling the school, they had found it in the lunch room, it had gotten mixed up with another child's at school! After that, I learned my lesson to label everything.

Here are some tips!

1. Start getting organized for back to school early. Besides saving money, (Staples, Target, etc. start their sales early, after 4th of July), it will mean peace of mind for you.

2. Summer is a great time to host a clothing swap with other moms. Everyone gets their best kid's clothing together and swaps. Great money-saver.

3. Backpacks. I find backpacks from Lands' End or LL Bean are the best value and most likely to last the entire school year.

4. Labels! Help your kiddos keep track of their stuff by picking up some labels. Bright Star Kids labels are perfect for sticking to all kinds of kids belongings, from shoes to books to bottles and clothing. This means things will find their way home and not get lost or mixed up, saving you time and money!

I took a look at Bright Star Kids labels and found out besides being a cute way to label stuff, they are safe for the dishwasher, microwaves, freezers, washers and dryers.

Bright Star has 2 main types of labels - stick-on and iron-on. Stick-on labels are extremely durable, so they'll withstand the wear and tear of dishwashers. They're 100% waterproof and scratch resistant. They'll stick to most kinds of plastics and will stay stuck for years. When you're ready to remove them, simply peel off and no residue will be left behind.

Iron-on labels are quick and easy to pop on to all your kids clothing. They will stay stuck in the toughest washing machine and clothes dryer cycle, and will still look great in years to come.

Get organized for back to school with Bright Star’s most popular School Labels kit, that has all the stick-on and iron-on labels you'll need for your kids belongings.
