You may remember with my back to school bash that I reviewed some items from Carolina Pad. If you don’t you can read that post here.
From the site:
“Staying at the Forefront of Cool Our products rock – at least that’s what our consumers tell us! With trendy design and great function, Carolina Pad notebooks, binders, and other school and office products stand out from the crowd. You might also catch a glimpse of our fashion collections, with clever names like Hot Chocolate and Pattern Play, on hit shows like 90210, Greek, and Gossip Girl.”
This time I am back with my favorite design the Hot Chocolate Collection. Carolina Pad sent me many wonderful products to help me stay organized. Now, I am a very organized girl until it comes to paperwork, bills, recipes and yep my coupons. Now sadly I just throw all my bills in a huge box, or into the corner of my closet, and that is that. Out of sight out of mind. The problem I have often is finding something. Take for example. Chris(my hubby) asked me where the title to our van was. I knew it was in that box somewhere. I told him give me a while and I’ll find it. After going through that box of utility bills, doctor bills, insurance papers, house papers, school work, and any other papers you can imagine I finally found it! How long did that take me. Only 27 minutes. Yes, I timed it. I’m not sure why I have never filed my papers but since Carolina Pad sent me some file folders and a 13-pocket expandable folder I am organized. 
My check stubs, cable, electric, gas, phone, insurance, doctors and many more are inside these folders inside the expandable folder. I went through a small box I had and filed them inside. With how easy it was I’m not sure why I am just now doing it.
Next up is the 3-ring binder and the 1-subject notebook. This is now reserved for Gavyn and his school papers.
My fridge was filled with school lunch menus, day off papers, and his daily schedule. I have now filed them inside this binder. The notebook is for Gavyn and his spelling and math. I told you I’m that mom that makes him work everyday except the weekends. Now he has his own notebook instead of me just grabbing him a piece of loose leaf paper. 
The 19-month planner is inside my purse. I write everything in here. My schedules for work, reviews and giveaways, birthdays, important dates and anything I must remember. This is a wonderful planner. I also received a Coupon expandable folder. I’m sad to say that before I threw my coupons in my wallet inside my purse. When I shop I pull them out and go through each and everyone to see what I’ve bought. I had a coupon folder in the past but it did break. So I’m very happy I have a new one now. The personal book I received is at work in my cubicle at all times. I write down anything important I must remember or give to my supervisor. It’s a handy little book that sits with me and is right there if I need it.
I have a new recipe holder with the Ideal Book I was sent in this wonderful package. I had a small book I wrote down my recipes in but this one is a tad bit larger which means no scrunching recipes inside. I love to cook and I have many recipes. I love finding new recipes which means writing them down so I am loving this book. Now the stick-on notes and sticky flags I received are great. I am using the little sticky flags as book marks and the sticky notes for notes to Gavyns teacher, my hubby for his brain, he is always forgetting, and little notes to say I love you. These are also working great as Gavyn learns a new word that he has a difficult time remembering to spell. I stick them in his room by his t.v. so he can see it and learn it faster.
I am very happy that I received this pack. I use it several times a day for many purposes. It has definitely organized my papers that are just thrown wherever nobody can see them. They are fashionable and very stylish supplies. If your looking to stay organized check out Carolina Pad for many designs and products to help you just do that.
