What's this all about?

Crayola has teamed up with Mom It Forward and is sponsoring a 'Girls Night Out' on Twitter every Tuesday night. A great place for Mommies to meet, discuss, swap great ideas and share everything and anything 'Back to School' related.....helping you get equipped to have a great school year ahead!

How does this work?

Every Sunday through Tuesday, you can RSVP for the party by clicking on the RSVP post on MomItForward.com
There, you can include your Twitter URL in the link list and see the list of other GNO gals
Visit http://momitforward.com/gno each Monday for more information and a custom Tweet Grid for that week´s event
On Tuesday nights, tweet using the hashtag #gno & #crayola and chat away
GNO participants will also have the chance to win great prizes(so you not only get to win here but also while tweeting!)

This week's details:

Your Twitter date with other moms is on Tuesday, August 4 :8-10pm CST (9-11pm EST) at the Tweetgrid

The topic for the week is ' Back to School Survival Guide'-this will be fun!

How can I win the Creativity Cast pack at Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports?

Entry 1: Simple, leave me a comment telling me what your best Back to School tip is

Entry 2: RSVP at Mom It Forward for tomorrow's tweet date and come back here and let me know the same has been done (and leave your twitter id for ref.)

Entry 3: After the Girls Night Out twitter event, come back here and leave me a comment telling me something new you learnt during the event.

See you there! ;> (http://twitter.com/ebmommy) -I'm terribly nascent to the Twitter scene...still debating To Tweet or Not to Tweet on a regular basis....but I'll be there at the GNO for sure!

This giveaway is open to US residents, 18 years and above.

1 winner will be chosen with the random.org generator on August 9 2009 at 10 pm Central time, so enter before that. The winner's name will be posted thereafter. Please note if the winner does not get back to me 48 hours after his/her name has been posted, I will pick a new winner.

At August 3, 2009 at 7:54 AM , A Cooking Bookworm said...: My back to school tip is to STOCK up on all of those school supplies when those prices are soo low! That may seem obvious, but I always grab as many supplies as I can -- for birthday and Christmas presents -- not just for my kids, but nieces and nephews, too! We also have a "store" at our VBS and the kids love "buying" notebooks and markers and crayons! So, STOCK up! You can use those kind of supplies all year round!
At August 3, 2009 at 8:11 AM , Coupon Teacher said...: My best back to school tip is get plenty of sleep. Teachers can tell which students get enough or not!
At August 3, 2009 at 8:52 AM , Anonymous said...: I send a special note in their lunch box.
At August 3, 2009 at 9:13 AM , Anonymous said...: girls are in preschool..all i will say is good night sleep and good nap time brings out the best in them..
At August 3, 2009 at 9:17 AM , Jenn said...: My best back to school tip is to start getting the kids to bed a little earlier a couple of weeks before school starts so we are not still on "summer schedule" once they have to start getting up early again.

My best Back To School tip:
Each night before a school day, you and your child decide which clothes they will wear, lay them out so they are ready and this should help to avoid last minute chaos and tears in the morning. :-)

At August 3, 2009 at 10:50 AM , cheflikes said...: I am SO excited about this post!!! On thing we do to prepare for the school year is make a job chart. Mean mom I know! We start practicing it the week before school starts. It makes our nights and mornings go so much smoother.

At August 3, 2009 at 11:24 AM , SavannahsSmiles said...: My best back to school tip is to serve my kiddos a special breakfast on the first day of school-usually something fun like shaped pancakes with chocolate chips and of course, chocolate milk.
At August 3, 2009 at 12:35 PM , Martha said...: buy extra supplies when they are on sale b/c before the year is over, they will been more.mavans@scottsboro.org
At August 3, 2009 at 2:16 PM , Heather said...: My back to school tip...I started buying schools supplies in May. My daughter came home with a gaint list and I was able to pick most of it up on sale. :)

At August 3, 2009 at 3:53 PM , Ticia said...: My back to school tip is to buy extra crayons and markers, and heck glue as well.

They make great stocking stuffers, they're also good to put in Operation Christmas Child boxes, and just good to have around the house for the random craft.
At August 3, 2009 at 5:24 PM , Lana said...: I home educate therefore I make sure Daddy brings me a NICE WARM cup of java to my bedside every morning. It gets me the jolt that I need so the kids can see more energy from their favorite teacher. ;)
At August 3, 2009 at 6:23 PM , Anonymous said...: Stock up on school supplies during the sale time. Hit the consignment shops like Once Upon a Child for the younger kids and Goodwill for the Older ones using an alottment of money. With my oldest 2 I give them $50 and allow them to pocket the extra money after they do their shopping. They know to treat their clothing with care from year to year because it could mean more money and their pockets and when I give them a choice of where to shop my older two pick the Goodwill hands down over the more expensive places now.

At August 3, 2009 at 9:19 PM , Cher said...: Label everything!
At August 3, 2009 at 10:06 PM , Renee said...: Get stuff like clothing, book bags, etc. prepared the night before--and make that a habit to do every school night.
At August 3, 2009 at 11:28 PM , LyndiLou said...: My back-to-school tip is to stay calm and set things out the night before!

At August 4, 2009 at 6:43 AM , Dee said...: I'd say make sure everything is ready and packed a WEEK before its time so there is less stress the night before and help pick out the "perfect" outfit.
At August 4, 2009 at 6:44 AM , Dee said...: I just went and RSVP @twoofakind
At August 4, 2009 at 9:31 AM , Katie said...: Start your shopping EARLY (like a month ago) and keep your eye out for good deals. School supplies can be super cheap if you shop smart.

At August 4, 2009 at 10:32 AM , justicecw said...: The only tip I have is to start shopping for supplies early! Last year I waited and I was rushing around like a maniac at the end of summer. Thanks for the chance, justicecw@hotmail.com
At August 4, 2009 at 11:21 AM , Meredith said...: I find that getting everything I know about (gifts, cards, etc) ready for the first month of school so I have more time to focus on getting back on the schedule.
At August 4, 2009 at 12:30 PM , Heidi V said...: I start getting my kids to get on a back to school sleep schedule two weeks before school starts so we don't have a grumpy first day!

Thanks

At August 4, 2009 at 7:09 PM , Barb Webb said...: My best back to school supply tip is to use competitor ads! Walmart will price match any competitor, so when you see great sales at Target, Meijer, and so on, bring the ad to Walmart for a price match :)

thanks for the chance to win, my children would love to have this set!!
At August 4, 2009 at 7:11 PM , Jamie said...: Shop at the end of the season when everything is on clearance for the next season. I found $1 lunchboxs last year and a lot of supplies for 5 to 25 cents each.

Thanks for giving us the chance to win!

At August 4, 2009 at 11:38 PM , Erin Lowmaster said...: Planners! Every one in the family needs one! Google calendars is helpful for mom and dad too.
At August 5, 2009 at 1:53 PM , wigget said...: let the child pick out his/her own backpack and lunch bag
At August 5, 2009 at 4:56 PM , Anonymous said...: My best tip...about 2 weeks before the first day of school, get into a "back to school routine"...set a bedtime and time to get up each morning, start each say with a good breakfast, get dressed and ready and practice school studies (reading, writing, math, etc), basically pretend it's time to go to school and do the things you would do if it where school time, this way when the first day of school does come, you'll be in a routine already.
At August 5, 2009 at 5:43 PM , Dolphin Girl said...: My best advice is to be excited. If your kids see you excited and postive they will be more likely to feel that way. :)
At August 5, 2009 at 5:43 PM , Angie said...: I love making their lunches more special by cutting their food into shapes. Makes the same old more special!!
At August 5, 2009 at 8:27 PM , dctm said...: My best back to school tip is to get kids back in their bedtime routine long before school starts - go to bed early to get plenty of sleep

At August 5, 2009 at 9:44 PM , The Bluths said...: Best back to school tip? Well, my oldest is 4 so he hasn't gone to school yet, but I sure like hearing everyone else's tips!
At August 5, 2009 at 10:10 PM , Angela said...: My best back to school tip is to pack their lunch the night before their first day of school. It's going to be hard getting back into the routine the first day and trying not to run behind, so this would be one less thing to think about as you're running around.
At August 6, 2009 at 12:02 AM , ossmcalc said...: My best back to school tip is to make certain that your child gets plenty of sleep. I teach high school and studies have shown that teenagers do their best if they have 8 to 11 hours sleep each night which I know is impossible. Most of my students have a job, have a child, or are active in sports - none of which allows them to get sleep. It would certainly keep them from sleeping in class.

Also, parents please do not call or text your children during class. They are not supposed to have cell phones with them during the school day. If it is an emergency, call the office and they will get the message to the student. Just like all of the other rules, it is even harder for the teachers to enforce them if the parents are breaking the rules.

thank you for letting me get on my soap box,

Christine

At August 6, 2009 at 2:33 PM , Kristy said...: My best tip is to lay out the clothes the day before so everyone is not as rushed.

At August 6, 2009 at 4:46 PM , Anonymous said...: my back to school tip is to keep the refrigerator full of healthy snacks that the kids can grab themselves! Also, stock up now on back to school supplies while the prices are low!
At August 6, 2009 at 10:24 PM , Kris said...: Let the kids start getting their supplies ready a week in advance so they're prepared and looking forward to the new school year.

At August 6, 2009 at 10:52 PM , The Demille's said...: My back to school tip is to plan a visit to the school BEFORE school starts...especially if it's their first year going to that school. That way they can figure out where the bathrooms are, where their class is, where everything is! They will then feel more comfortable on the first day!
rachel_demille@yahoo.com
At August 7, 2009 at 1:03 AM , Secret Burkheiser said...: My back to school tip is starting the early to bed and early to rise routine two weeks before school starts

At August 8, 2009 at 6:56 PM , Amy said...: My tip is to buy school supplies early. That way you are stressed with all the other moms and you can still get the good deals.
atndwj@yahoo.com
At August 8, 2009 at 10:55 PM , lace said...: My best tip is to get everything ready to go the night before the first day of school. It makes for a much smoother start to the school year. This works for the rest of the year as well.
At August 9, 2009 at 12:07 AM , tina reynolds said...: my best back to school tip is shop ahead shop sales get your kids in a routine about two weeks before time thanks for the chance to win eaglesforjack@gmail.com
At August 9, 2009 at 7:09 AM , LeeAnn P. said...: Stock up when school supplies are on sale - staples, cvs etc have stuff practically free right before school starts!
murphykatt[at]yahoo[dot]com
At August 9, 2009 at 11:33 AM , Unknown said...: We try to stock up on supplies at the beginning of the year while there are some great deals so that we do not need to purchase as the year goes on and deals are not as good.
At August 9, 2009 at 1:10 PM , xenia said...: Definitely lots of sleep, as well as preparation ahead of time. My daughter is starting her first time at preschool next month and I am already making sure to tell her about how much fun she's going to have and all of the new friends that she's going to make.
