I think this video from Office Max just about sums up what parents feel when their children are heading back to school. As my son is getting older, I see him as a little person. He is starting to have dreams about what his career will be. I am so determined to have him realize he can do ANYTHING, yes even be an astronaut.

Before he can be an astronaut, we have to get through the third grade.  OfficeMax has prepared these great list of of back to school supplies . Each list is setup with grade appropriate supplies.

If you haven’t already been taking advantage of Office Max’s back to school deals, I am sure over the next few week’s the deals will only be getting hotter!  Of course, I tend to check out Office Max all year long – I am a big fan of their rebate program. I don’t think I ever pay for paper. I buy the paper on rebate and then use the rebate dollars to pay for my toner.  I have always been pleased with the rewards program from Office Max.

So are you ready to get your little (or big) one ready to head back to school? Office Max wants to help with the cost by giving away a back pack filled with supplies to get your year started off right. (Retail Value $100)

To enter:

Check out Office Max’s school lists and tell me which one works best for the person you want to win for.

We are a Flip Video family. I am constantly grabbing mine and shooting some quick video. I love it because of the size!  Do you remember when you used to have a huge camera to get great video? Then you would have to take the tape out and load it into another thing to play it in the VCR.

This little camera has been wonderful for us. It has been perfect for capturing those sporting events, silly songs, and birthday parties.

The  Flip has introduced the Flip Ultra HD video camera which has excellent quality.  I received a Flip Ultra HD video camera for review and  I thought I would share the quality of the video with you from a recent fireworks event. I took this when it was pitch black and we were really far away from the fireworks, I had it zoomed to the max.

The Prize:

A Flip Ultra HD Video Camera with a value of $199.99.

I am very excited about this giveaway! My sister in law had a baby boy 4 months ago and Carter’s clothes have been awesome. Carter’s is one of those brands that you just associate with kids.  Carter’s is a brand that I trust and know. They have been around forever and the quality for the price cannot be beat. I remember when Evan was little (and money was tight), Carter’s made clothes that I could afford. The clothes were affordable, they didn’t fall apart and well he looked darling. I think this sums it up nicely for Carter’s. We were given a $50 giftcard and I cannot wait to go shopping for Little Jace.

Carter’s is the leading brand of children’s clothing, gifts and accessories in America, selling more than 10 products for every child born in the U.S. Our designs are based on a heritage of quality and innovation that has earned us the trust of generations of families.

This giveaway is somewhat two fold – you can enter to win a $100.00 Giftcard on For the Mommas, plus Carter’s is sponsoring the “The Funny Thing is Sweepstakes” where you can win one of 70 Giftcards up to $1,000 each!

The next fabulous giveaway for the Back To School Giveaway Bonanza is a Delicious one thanks to Kind Snacks!

Here’s what Kind has to say about their awesome products:

At KIND we craft delicious, healthful foods from wholesome all-natural ingredients you can see and pronounce.® We believe that food should never be processed to the point that you can no longer tell what it is!

I’m excited to tell you about a great event coming up soon. The Great Kindness Challenge will take place on Saturday, August the 14th. Kids For Peace started the Great Kindness Challenge in order to help make the world a kinder, more compassionate place.
