Get Ready For Back To School Mead Five Star®

Back to school can be such an expensive time for all parents. We know that firsthand. We have 4 very active kids!


I recently teamed up with Mead Five Star®
on what I thought was a review of their new Five Star® Backpack and the new Five Star® Binder. When I opened to box, I almost cried. The generosity caught me off guard. I know they are an amazing company but what they did was above and beyond what I could have ever expected!!

I got a thank you card for working with them and she said that they like our blog Amy & Aron's Real Life Reviews. The compliments were so personal. She really took the time to read our posts and see what our family was like. She said she hoped our kids liked the school supplies. By the point of reading the Thank You note, I was covered in goosebumps and was already smiling to the point of tears. Someone else showed me they appreciated us as much as we appreciated them.

The big surprise was there were 3 back backs, 2 binders, 4 regular notebooks, 8 folders, 2 packs of loose-leaf paper. It was a huge box!! That is a great start to our school supply list this year!


The backpacks are perfect for our older 3. They are so sturdy and they feature wide straps so the weight of the backpacks won't hurt so bad. The zippers are nice and smooth and they don't hang up when they close or open. The pockets are realistic width and depth for holding all of the stuff they need.

With the case load the kids are taking on this year, 2 in junior high and one in high school, they need something that will be able to keep up with them. Something that will hold everything for them. These awesome backpacks do just that!

The adjustable straps are comfortable and wide for evenly distributed weight. That makes for so much easier carrying. As a parent, I do worry about the backaches that come along with 30lb bags that have to be toted all throughout the day and home. 

Easy gliding zippers work great even in a hurry. My guys can stress out a zipper and knock it off it's track in no time flat. This has been proven time and again. Backpacks, duffel bags, even coats! These are strong zippers! 


The pockets and storage in the backpacks and binders are amazing.

The features I love are:
Realistic sized pockets 
Holds a lot!
Holes punched in
Great colors and designs

The expandable products are absolutely wonderful. The kids can control the size so if they need more room, it's already available/ They don't have to carry the backpack, and binder with an extra bag and an armload of extra stuff because it doesn't all fit. It all fits!

However, it's no news that back to school season can be chaotic for parents and kids without adequate preparation. In homes where spaces keep shrinking, parents must get creative to prevent kids’ school supplies from looking cramped. Fortunately, you can leverage secure and private storage units for these items to prevent your living space from accumulating clutter. However, ensure that the facility is close to home to encourage easy access.

  13. My daughter prefers Five Star over a lot of the other brands out there. She has gotten really picky about her school supplies as she has gotten older and has more choice in the matter.
