Back to School Bash: Let's Hop to It!


Friends, you may want to sit down for this.  It's almost August!  Summer is officially winding down.  Before you know it, we'll all be back in our classrooms teaching new crops of kiddos!  I have already spent a few days in my classroom sprucing it up, and let me tell you, I could use a day at the spa.  Manis & pedis... anyone?!  :)  In all seriousness, this is one of the most hectic times of the year.  I always feel like I am battling the clock and trying to squeeze everything in before "Meet the Teacher" and the first day of school.  { Where is the pause button?!}  Alas, there's no rest for the weary!  Carry on, carry on.   Just like the song.  ;) 

Do you want to hear something super exciting though!?  Yes?!  Since my blog besties and I know a thing or two about how stressful this time of the year can be, we plotted and planned all summer long to be able to throw a Back to School Bash... just for you!  And you!  And you!  :)

We are hosting a massive giveaway August 1st-5th!   We were fortunate to secure some stellar sponsors with BIG hearts for teachers and kids.  :)  We're definitely feeling the love, and we hope you will too!  If I am being honest, I am a little jealous of the winners, and you haven't even won YET.  The prizes are absolutely incredible!  Are you getting excited?!

Here's the run down.  Below you will find 17 bodacious "Bash Baskets".  One basket will be featured on each of the following blogs:












All you will need to do is "hop around" to each blog and enter to win. You can make sure that you don't miss one single blog by looking for this little apple at the end of our post. If you keep clicking the apple at the bottom of each post, you will find all 17 Bash Baskets...which means 17 chances to WIN it BIG! 


How easy is that?!? While you are checking out some of the teacher swag below, be sure and give our sponsors a little love by following their shops {click the links}. I am telling you, you won't want to miss out on any of these amazing prizes. CHECK. THEM. OUT.

Jennifer, the designer for JC Sweetpea Designs has also designed a special set of clipart to give to ALL of our sweet teachers. How cute are her designs?!? Here clip art is also all over our giveaway designs. :)

Seriously? Are those not some amazing prizes? But that's not all. Each blog will also be giving away some of their best selling units. You will have to wait until the hop to see what each blogger will be giving away! 


Now, make sure you come back tomorrow {or anytime between August 1-5} to enter to win 17 different Bash Baskets! 

See you tomorrow!
