TETON sports Internal Frame Backpack GIVEAWAY on Mom Loves 2 Read

 

Teton
Sports is a great website that supplies many of the most common needs
for campers, hikers, scouts and more.  My son Josh has become a Boy
Scout (previously a Cub Scout) this past spring and was excited to
finally go to Boy Scout Camp last month.  The only problem we had was
figuring out how he was going to carry all of his stuff for an entire
week by himself for nearly a mile over three LARGE hills.  We were
fortunate to get a second-hand external frame backpack as his main pack
and use a regular school backpack as his second one.

Many
of his friends had nice Internal frame backpacks to use.  I thought
that by next year I would make sure he had one of the internal frame
ones as the External frame seemed very heavy and cumbersome for him. 
Though it did have a lot of room for his supplies and clothes!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Irish immigrant Seamus Hanley is a lost soul, haunted by his past as a U.S. Army deserter and living alone in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains in 1849. But after witnessing a deadly stage coach crash, he finds purpose in the scattered wreckage -- a letter with a picture of a beautiful and captivating woman named Ashlyn living in San Francisco at the height of the Gold Rush.
Moved by her written plea for help, he abandons all and sets out on an epic journey across the wild and picturesque American frontier. While being pursued by those who want to hang him, Seamus encounters fascinating characters including a young Pauite Indian who makes the ultimate sacrifice in helping Seamus to cross the snowy Yosemite Valley.
Battered but changed for the better, Seamus reaches San Francisco on Christmas Eve as the city burns in the tragic fire of 1849. But there is little time for rest, as an even greater, more harrowing adventure involving Ashlyn is about to begin.

Back to School Blast $1000 Visa GC ~ Have all the school supplies paid for this year!

Welcome to the Back to School Blast!

Getting your family prepared to head back to school, can be difficult especially after a long, fun-filled summer. Here are a few of our favorite Back to School Tips to help you along the way.

1. Back-to-School Supplies Checklist - Backpack? Check. Pencils? Check. Safety scissors? Not Yet. Use the same checklist each time you head out to grab supplies, to keep track of what you have already purchased and the things you still need to. These are also handy if you have more than one child. Simply print 2, 3, 4 list and add their name to the top.

2.  Keep everything organized by putting it inside the child's backpack as you purchase it.  Why wait til the last minute to separate each child's items when you can do it as you go!  It also makes it easier to double check to make sure each child has everything he or she needs and isn't missing anything.

3. Easy labeling!  Try peel and stick labels rather than using 'permanent' markers (which aren't always so permanent).  Try Mabel's Labels or something similar for fun personalized name stickers for each child's school supplies!

4. Try shopping without the kids!  Sometimes taking them along makes it more difficult to buy what is needed instead of what they want - those funky colored pencils, pens, notebooks and such are more expensive and sometimes are not necessary.  You could let them choose their favorite color(s) or one or two more personlized items, but having them choose every item on the list can be stressful.



5. Shop early!  Don't wait until the last minute to get those supplies.  I know many stores have last minute sales, but you take the risk of not finding all the items on your list!



6. Keep a "back to school" supplies container from year to year.  I have a small container that I purchase extra supplies each year when they are on super cheap specials!  Then I use it before shopping to fill my list and only have to buy a few items for each child before school starts.  It is less pressure and lets me get good deals as well.  Plus there are many times when items get lost or broken, and we go to the extra container to replace them!

The Back to School Blast was organized by Mom Powered Media.
