It’s that time of year again.  I have to admit that even though I’m not going back to school, I get that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see the school supply display at the grocery store. Maybe it’s because summer is flying by too fast.  Maybe it’s an enduring traumatic response to even the idea of multiplication tables.  Maybe it’s a reaction to all that virgin paper and all those plastic coated binders and folders, that will end up in a landfill next year when new teachers mean new school supply lists, and Strawberry Shortcake is no longer as cool as The Smurfs (totally dating myself here).

I did a Back to School Series around this time last year, and I figured I’d bring some of the posts to the forefront, updated for this year, and throw some new stuff into the mix.  If you’re not headed back to school, and don’t know anyone who is, don’t worry.  There will be lots of tips and tricks that will be applicable to packing lunches for work, chosing home office supplies, and shopping for fall.

Enjoy!
