BacktoSchoolPTPA1 Back to School 2012 PTPA Chat

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!

Want to know something else?  You can win some amazing prizes too!

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.

Christine is an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, mother, wife, freelance writer, product reviewer, brand ambassador, and blogger. Blogging became an integral part of C's life when she ended up spending her second trimester on strict bed rest for her high risk pregnancy. Writing about her giving birth to a preemie (Little One was born at 28 weeks and weighed 980 g at birth) and life in the NICU helped Christine get through a difficult time in what was supposed to be the happiest time of her life. Now that Little One is healthy and happy, C blogs about her crazy life on the farm and with a very "spirited" Little One! When she's not teaching ESL or spending time with her family and adorable little girl, along with her regular freelance writing jobs, C does editing work, writes press releases, and fills her time with being active in her community. She is currently the vice chairperson on her township's library board and parent liaison for her township's Early Learning Playgroup. Chrisine lives on a farm with her husband (Hubby), daughter (Little One), beloved canine baby (Chance), a bunch of rambunctious barn cats and some really stubborn cattle. She can also be found guest blogging on the Canadian Beef Blog, as well on her personal blog: www.lifeonmanitoulin.com . Always up for a friendly chat, you can find her on Twitter @chancesmommy.
