Win a $212 Back to School prize package 7/28


Welcome to the Back To School Giveaway - Week 1


We're in the heat of the summer and the last thing kids want to think about is school. But, we can't wait until the last minute to shop for everything they'll need, so it's time to start now. 

Heading back to school is a time of excitement and new beginnings. It can also be a very stressful time with all the clothes, backpacks and supplies we need to buy for our kids.

We've partnered with some great companies to help with that stress, even if just a little! Read on to learn a little more about each great sponsor and enter the giveaway on the Rafflecopter below.

I love the glass dot straws and the circus sandwich bags.

I loved the Vintage French Rooster Art, Poulet Cog Francais, Kitchen Wall Decor. My kitchen has the rooster theme so this wall art would be perfect.

I learned that there's a product that I could refer to parents of the children I teach if the need exists. A time management program is something I think would really work for some of the children in my class.

I would love to have the Eco Dipper Snack Containers cause we are always trying to dip our food and it would be convenient to have it all together.
