I was sent some Five Star And Mead products to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

I can hardly believe that July is nearing an end already! That means that August and Back-To-School time will be here soon. Neither the kids nor I are quite ready to have our summer end yet but the calendar doesn’t seem to care. The days just keep fading away and pass by much too quickly. So as we start to gear up, it was time to check out some new and innovative products from Five Star and Mead.

The Backpack:

When I remember getting ready for Back-To-School when I was a kid, the BIGGEST part was getting a new backpack. Once that main item was purchased, everything else seemed to fall into place a bit easier. Maybe it was because it seemed like a really big decision as a child. What color? Which style? How many pockets do I want? A great choice is the Five Star Expandable Backpack which is available in three color choices: Cobalt, Gray and Berry.

Features Include:

~Front & Main Pockets Can Expand Up To 7″ For More Storage Capacity!

~Separate Padded Laptop Compartment

~Curved Zipper For Side Access

~Organization Pocket For Small Items

~Side Mesh Water Bottle Pocket

~Specially Designed Straps That Distribute weight

~Padded Front Panel

~Water Resistant Design

~Durable Construction

~Appealing Overall Design For Boys & Girls

The Accessories:

While the backpack is a great place to start with getting ready, kids also need supplies to fill it. The Five Star Flex Hybrid NoteBinder acts like a notebook, works like a binder, and offers durable plastic covers to make it last all year. They also offer a variety of Notebook and Binder Accessories that are perfect for helping keep kids organized. I especially love that the Storage & Organization Pocket can be easily attached to the binder or even just a regular notebook! (I have it on my notebook and it works awesome while also storing a few small supplies!)

As usual, Five Star And Mead is the perfect choice for Back To School supplies for our family! Be sure to head to your local stores and get some for your family too.
