Time-Saving Back-To-School Solutions (NAPSA)—It’s enough to make harried parents dread the return of the big yellow bus. To get their kids ready for the new school year, it’s not enough that they have to find the perfect backpack, clothes and supplies—they also have to at least try to make sure all those new purchases don’t get lost before winter vacation. “Let’s face it—parents have less time today than ever before,” says Amy Lipton, a mom, organi- zational consultant and CEO of Stuck on You. “One of the biggest challenges parents and children face whengetting ready for school is keeping track of personal belongings.” Lipton, who’s worked with hundreds of schools and day-care centers across the country to develop her line of personalized labeling products for school-aged children, has heard the same issues from parents again and again. Four of her most popular products address what she’s found to be the key concerns of parents of children heading backto class: Clothing Crises: To be sure that everyone knows which stuff belongs to your child, Stuck on You developed Clothing Tattoos— personalized, permanent iron-on transfers available in white, blue or pink.
