The end of August is almost upon us. You know what that means! BACK TO SCHOOL TIME! If you’ve got little ones who are going back to school or going to school for the first time, you won’t want to miss this chat! We’ll be covering some great topics, but interacting with other parents who are going through what you and I are going through is the best part of the chat! It’s bound to be a good time…and for parents whose kids are entering JK (*ahem* like yours truly), we may need to hold each other’s hands two weeks from now! I know my 3.5 year old is ready for JK. It’s Mom who isn’t!

PRIZES
1 Finders Key Purse® key finder from @IsntThisClever (ARV $6.95 each) More product info here.
I don’t know about you, but as a Mom always on the go and in a rush, I tend to lose my keys…all the time! They’re either at the bottom of my purse somewhere or hidden underneath a mountain of kids’ items on the counter…or in my moments of “Momnesia”, I just forget where I put them! Now, Finders Key Purse gives us a keychain that decorates the outside of a purse while keeping the keys from falling to the bottom. More product details here.
