Ah, back to school.  There’s nothing a parent loves to hear more, especially if the summer has conspired to keep the more youthful members of the family indoors for extended periods. Of course, the kids might not find going back to school as welcome a thought as their parents do, especially if it’s the first day in a new school.

I remember my first day of high school.  It was nothing short of terrifying.  In fact, even though it’s a normal part of every child’s life, I can honestly say that the only thing I’ve ever done that was more nerve wracking than starting my high school career was my first week of basic training in the Navy, but at least there I didn’t have to worry about whether what I was wearing was in style.  We all knew that our bell bottoms were rather hilarious, especially when paired with black socks.

If you haven’t taken the time to try to get your school age children organized, now might be the time.  And a label maker might be just the help you need to avoid the most feared call in a parent’s world…

“Moooooooom! Have you seen my <insert lost item-that-will-inevitably-be-found-in-the-bottom-of-the-backpack here>?”

Label makers aren’t what they were when we were kids.  Not only do they print the same way that an inkjet printer does, but they are quick, too.  Add in some Color labels for a bit of additional help in locating that missing whatever-it-is, and you’re in business, with more time to devote to actually getting the little monsters darlings to do their homework.
