  2. This is amazing! I'm homeschooling my preschooler this year, so I would love these materials!

  4. We homeschool year round(6 wks on, 1 wk off) and every year when public school starts, we take an extra week off. The kiddos love it! These prizes are fantastic!

  7. This will be my first year to teach preschool and I'm so excited! I would love to win this giveaway!

  16. I will have the big three all in THREE different schools this year. Talk about stressful! One tot still at home, and we have tons of fun! I love reading all the blogs and getting awesome ideas!

  18. My kids are 2 and 4 so no back-to-school for us yet, but I do love saving all the ideas to make life easier when it does come around!

  21. Ready for the school year to begin and would be a huge help to have fun ideas to start the new school year with.

  22. Excited to see all of the fun ideas, and for the opportunity for such a great giveaway!

  24. Excellent giveaway! I have a little one starting Kindergarten this year, and my littlest is going to start preschool. This would be such a great way to help get them ready 🙂

  26. What an awesome back to school giveaway!! WOW!! This Summer has flown by!! I am ready for one to go back to school but not the other and the little one can just stay with me for another year!! Yeah!! :o)

  28. I can't believe it's almost back to school time! Summer flew by. What a great giveaway 🙂

  29. I love Back to School time because my kids are always so excited to get back to see their friends. I also love spending those last few days making sure all the school supplies are purchased!!

  30. Back to school time has always been my favorite time of year (I love the smell of a new box of crayons!)

  32. I plan a week off the week before school starts. We do some fun things like to to the museum, zoo, or to the arcade and then pick one day and go to the mall to get back to school clothes. The mall we go to has a lego store and a disney store so both of the kids get to go and do something fun while we are there.
