The Back2School Bash has officially begun! For the next 2 weeks, the main focus here at TheMomMaven.com will be Back2School tips, tricks, ideas, product reviews and giveaways!!
I’m kicking off the bash with Carolina Pad! Carolina Pad has been in business since 1945 focusing on a core philosophy of “service, reliability, and quality at a fair price.” The 2009 product lines are cool, chic, affordable and very useful! Their products are truly “too cool for school”. They have appeared on the CW’s new “90210” and ABC Family’s “Greek” and have been seen being carried by music sensations Miley Cyrus and Carrie Underwood.
Carolina Pad sent me a sample of their 2009 products to review and I love them. They are high quality and good looking. I have already used some of them to get my desk and homeschool paperwork organized for the new school year.
From the Simply Chic collection I received the 13 Pocket File, 12 Decorative File Folders and a 7×5″ spiral notebook. I am using the 13 Pocket File and the file folders to organize my upcoming blog posts for my 4 blogs. The 7×5″ spiral notebook lives in my purse for note taking on the go.
From the Whimsical Flower Collection I received the Composition book and the always handy 2 Pocket Folder.
I received the Hot Chocolate Collection’s 1″ 3 ring binder which is already holding my 2009-2010 homeschool lesson planner and a sweet 8.6×6.5″ 3 subject notebook.
The trendy Chit-Chat spiral notebook is waiting to see which of my tech savvy teens is going to claim it! I also received the Pattern Play 5 decorative tab dividers and 2 pockets but none of my photos of them came out well at all. They are already at use in my Hot Chocolate binder.
Now that you are excited about all of the great collections that Carolina Pad has, I have one more to tell you about. The Sasquatch Collection is Carolina Pad’s new eco-friendly line. from the website
What Makes Sasquatch Products Eco-friendly?
Sasquatch™ Brand products use less virgin wood products. They are made of mostly recycled paper. This means fewer trees are cut down and less water and fossil fuels are used during processing. This helps reduce air and water pollution and helps protect wildlife from harmful chemicals and habitat changes.
Carolina Pad is offering The Mom Maven readers a 15% discount on all orders placed between now and August 22, 2009 using promotion codeBTS2009 also, all orders of $30 or more after discount are eligible for FREE shipping!
The Prize: Carolina Pad will be sending approximately $35 of Sasquatch Collection products.
