Stranger Danger, Clear Backpacks and Kid Safety

It’s hard, sometimes, to separate paranoia from real worries when it comes to your children. After all, no matter how far-fetched the danger sounds, it happened to somebody’s child somewhere – and you’d prefer your own children not become a similar cautionary tale. Still, the news seems determined to frighten every parent everywhere with lurid tales of new dangers to your children that inspire some parents to contemplate locking the kids up and home schooling them until they’re approximately thirty years old. Of course, some dangers are very real – and also very easy to teach your kids about. Most…

Clear Tote Bag: A Push for Policy at School Functions

For some, it was only a matter of time after the National Football League in the United States announced its “All Clear Policy”. The policy requires all fans to carry a clear tote bag. The NFL’s policy last year has trickled down into other areas of American life. Recently a woman in Texas launched a campaign to bring a similar clear tote bag policy to high school football games in that State. She states the same concerns for security that prompted the NFL to change its own policies. Texan Verna Melton said of her proposal, ‘You could be sitting beside…

Attending a Marathon? You’ll Need a Clear Bag

Many sporting events have begun instituting clear bag policies to keep participants and spectators safe. While the NFL clear bag policy has made a splash in the news, other sporting events such as the Chicago Marathon have also begun instituting similar policies. According to CBS Chicago all runners who want to run the Chicago Marathon will be required to have clear bags and all spectators will have their bags searched. This may seem inconvenient, but after the lessons learned at the Boston Marathon, there is no policy too inconvenient for safety. Bag searches and clear bags are a necessary and…

Clear PVC Backpacks: My Son is Wearing a Floral Tank Top

Could clear PVC backpacks be our solution? My twins, Jessica and Jon, have very similar interests. They both joined scouts organizations and both love camping. The only thing they really differ in is taste in clothes. Jessica loves to dress distinctly feminine while Jon loves loose fitting ‘skater’ clothes. Over a long weekend, both of my kids had separate scouting events to go to. Jon had a camping trip, where he would spend the weekend fishing and learning how to start fires with the other boys in his troop. Jessica had a white water rafting adventure, where she and the…

No Rest for the Wicked … Busy

Like everyone else in the universe, I graduated from school owing a monstrous amount of money to an awful lot of people. This was expected, though seeing those numbers in black print was a bit of a shock of cold water. But I wasn’t raised to moan and groan, or to have debts; my parents advised me sternly to clear up that debt as soon as possible, and also to move out of the house as soon as possible and get my own place, because they had big plans for my room. So, I got a job. It wasn’t…

The Clear Solution To Back To School Chaos – Part 2

For my teenagers in high school, the large clear backpack is huge, and easily holds all the many items they require. It’s made with very durable, strong PVC material, which isn’t threatened by the weight of the numerous textbooks and binders needed for the long day of classes my kids attend each day. The ease and speed of finding homework, folders and writing implements at the start of each class, without having to empty out the backpack’s entire contents, is a recurring advantage of the fantastic transparent design, and my kids actually think having a see-thru backpack is really quite…

Clear Kids Backpacks To End Back to School Chaos – Quickly

The Clear Bag Store and their clear handbags and clear kids backpacks have made thing so easy. There is no more joyous day of the year for me, a mother of five, than the first day of school after a long summer. It’s back to routines, schedules, and never-ending attempts at organization. As glorious as Back to School time is, with a clan this size of school-age children, the amount of preparation needed is overwhelming. I have two kids in high school, one in middle school, and two in elementary school. The amount of “stuff” they all require rivals that…

Clear Bags for School

I don’t know about you, but for me the digital revolution isn’t moving quickly enough. The first time I saw my little Kim staggering home from school with a ridiculous number of books stuffed into her backpack, like an ant carrying fifty times its weight in picnic goods, I couldn’t believe it! I was all for a strict curriculum, but I was concerned Kimmy might be crushed under the weight of her books before mastering her multiplication tables. Then, after some strength training and motivational speeches from me – you should be picturing the training montage from Rocky right now,…
