This post is a Guest Post shared by Kids Help Phone. I encourage all parents to post the Kids Help Phone number (1-800-668-6868) on their fridge for their children to see! As much as we hope that our children will share everything with us, in some cases, they do not feel comfortable and Kids Help Phone could be the only place they feel that they can turn to. This fall, over 6 million young people will be heading back to public schools, colleges and universities and many of them will need help adjusting to the back to school season.Whether your … Continue reading →

This past weekend started my Back to School organization! The first thing that I realized was that I was running low on labels for my kids! Labels are so important when sending your children off to school because school can be a very busy, sometimes hectic and fast paced place where items often go missing or get left behind.What I love the most about Oliver’s Labels is that there is always a FREE option to include a Found-It code on your labels so that if your child does leave something behind, the person who finds it can contact Oliver’s Labels … Continue reading →

Label Everything

Well folks, this post isn’t so much about summer, but because it is something that we must think about, I’ve still labelled it as “Summer Sanity”. Part of the end of summer is all about preparing for school. This year, my daughter heads off to grade two and my son starts Junior Kindergarten. A lot of people have asked me how they can prepare their little one to start school for the first time. I have spoken with other parents and am also pulling out ideas that I used to give parents when I taught Kindergarten. Here are a few … Continue reading →
