Carolina Pad has recently come out with a few new collections and I given the opportunity to receive a few items from each collection, courtesy of Carolina Pad for this review.

Who is Carolina Pad?

Let’s start out with a little history about Carolina Pad and how they started.

The Carolina Pad story begins in 1945 in Charlotte, North Carolina. That’s when Joseph K. Hall Jr. and several business associates managed to scrape up enough money and equipment to start up a school supply manufacturing company. Joe had been operating Hall & Morris, a school supply wholesale business in Belmont, North Carolina. The new company offered composition books, notebook paper, primary tablets, pencils, crayons, and other school supplies. A former teacher, principal, and coach, Joe was excited by the new company’s offerings

In 2002, Carolina Pad started a fashion revolution by introducing fashion to their products to what you now see all the kids carrying around!  Here are just a few samples of the designs you can get from Carolina Pad.

The new collections are:

  • Carnival – Make an impact with vibrant color that radiates energy and fun.
  • In the Navy – Pairs traditional design with deep blue color. But it’s the splashes of bright color and the polka dots that catch the eye.
  • Provence – Classic design and contemporary color for those who value both traditional and contemporary style.
  • Urban Mix – Rich, luscious color paired with a modern, hip vibe. Oh so cool.

These products are available exclusively at select Meijer and Fred Meyer – contact your local store for product availability.

My Take on it

As a busy mom, I’m always looking for something to write on for keeping notes of all kinds.  Life is hard just being a mom, throw in working full-time outside of the home, being an Independent Avon Sales Representative, blogger, and student (taking a break from that right now after earning my Associates in Business), your day can get pretty hectic!

Carolina Pad Carolina Pad Review Collection

Carolina Pad has something for just about everything.  You have sticky note pads, little page tabs, pens, cases, file folders, binder folders, notebooks, laptop bags, etc.  With their four new designs, it’s just that much more to love about them!  One of their new products is a mouse pad / note pad.  LOVE IT!  Nothing better than having a note pad right there next to your computer at all times.  Just jot down your note to remind you to go to the Carolina Pad website and it’s right there for  you every time you go to your computer…well, at least until you tear off that page ;)
