Fun back-to-school shopping with NBS!
Growing up, my Mom
would take me shopping for school materials at National Book Store. From preschool to high school, it was a no
fail place to go. Even when I reached college and I bought my own materials, I
would easily just go to the NBS beside DLS-CSB and got everything that I
needed. :) Now, I’m passing on the tradition to my kids!
Shopping with my
fellow mommas!
My eldest son Athan
is 9 years old and has been going to school for 5 years now. He’ll be an upcoming Grade 3 student. While
my youngest, Asher is 4 years old and is just about to enter nursery. :) My kids personally
love coming with me to the bookstore, whether or not it is back-to-school
shopping. So, to get them excited for school, I involve them in all the
preparations, like picking out which bag the like or what design of pencil case
they prefer. :)
For new moms out
there who are just about to send their little ones to school this year, I
understand the mixed emotions and separation anxiety, so here are a few organizing
tips of mine to help you and your kids get through the year with a smile!
1.
Always make sure to plan ahead. When you’re
well organized with your schedule, you’ll be able to flow throughout the school
year with a breeze.
2.
Stock up on school supplies because you
never know when your child will suddenly need them. I used to encounter this
and it was really stressful.
3.
Personalize your kids’ stuff with their
names on their bags to avoid forgetting which is theirs or even getting the
wrong bag.
4.
Keep a set of folders and binders for your
child’s test papers and artworks to keep them organized, so you can easily find
them when needed.
5.
Always make your kids fix their bags the
night before to avoid rushing and stressing in the morning.
I think the best time
to prepare for back-to-school is at least 2 or 3 weeks before the opening of
classes. This way, you can have more time to pick out things and you won’t get
too stressed. :) Just last week, I shopped a bit already!
Having more than one
kid go to school, means you will also buy school supplies twice as much, but I
have to consider our budget. That’s why I try to go for the more affordable
ones, but never compromising the quality since my kids will be using it for a
while. :)
My most recommended
NBS school stuff is the BEST BUY.
They have everything from pencils, notebooks, pens, glue, and even a PROJECT
KIT for only Php 150 and in it
already includes all the basic materials, so if you’re in a hurry and don’t
have much time to linger in the store, you can easily get this and go to the
cashier. :) A
great time saver! If you are looking for items at Php 20, Php 50, or just Php
100 each, they have that too!
The great thing about
shopping at NBS is they no longer just carry supplies, but a wide variety of
supplies! They also have bags and other cute items to add flair to you and your
kids’ school year.
I love everything
cute and pink, so my attention was instantly drawn to this little corner of
ONLINE, a German brand of writing instruments that has been around since 1991.
Even if technology is
all around us and I can easily type on my phone the things I have to remember,
I still find joy in writing with a good pen. With ONLINE, I think I may need
more than one pen! Just look at all the cute designs that they have! It can
match your notebook, outfit or mood! :) Can you guess which design I have my eyes on? ;)
I absolutely love how
NBS makes it so easy to shop for school supplies, because as soon as you enter
their store, you conveniently see everything in front of you and grab
everything in arms reach. No longer would you have to search for items one by
one.
Athan already has an
idea what he wants to get!
No brainer for this
little boy on which stroller to get! He loves Disney Pixar’s Cars and his eyes
totally lit up when he saw Lightning McQueen! ^_^
My final
back-to-school tips for all the moms out there is to talk openly with your kids
about their feelings on going back to school or going to school for first time
parents. It’s important to always acknowledge your kids’ feelings to help them
adjust and open up. Also, learn to distress from time to time. The school year
can be overwhelming, so it’s best to have a breather with your kids. :)
School shopping
should never be a stressful one thanks to National Book Store. It is actually a
good bonding experience with your children and a way to discover what they like
and show them that going to school is fun!
