    Back to School Party!

    By Stacy 12 Comments

    School starts THIS WEEK for my boys. I will be sending my oldest three across the street to school in a few days. I am sad that the summer has flown by but I also wanted to celebrate a fun new milestone in their lives.

    Like I mentioned before, I have partnered up with Oshkosh B'Gosh for a back to school campaign. And along with the giveaway (the winner will be announced later in the post), I was able to host a back to school party with a few of my neighbors :)

    You can't have a party without cupcakes, right? I made little cupcake wrappers to (kind of) look like crayon wrappers.

    OshKosh B'Gosh had sent tote bags and Velcro lunch bags for the kids to color. They also sent fabric markers. The kids had a BLAST coloring them which gave us moms plenty of time to visit.

    OshKosh also sent coloring pages and crayons but we never got to those. We sent them home with the kids so they could color them later.

    I never know for sure how others feel about having pictures of their kids on my blog for the world to see so I took a picture of one of mine :) Not only did he color for the entire party, but also the whole rest of the day!

    Every one of the 21 kids (yep! 21!!!) colored their bags differently.

    Alright, now for the WINNER of the $100 OshKosh B'Gosh gift card!!!

    According to random.org the winner is Deana who said "I love the denim jeggings for girls.  A perfect layer under dresses and tunics." Please email me with your information so I can get you your prize :) CONGRATS!!!

    Remember OshKosh when you are dong school shopping this year. My boys are loving their new duds and I loved the awesome prices on graphic tees and jeans. :)

    Like” OshKosh B’gosh on Facebook, and on Twitter and follow them on Pinterest for outfitting ideas, vintage ads, deals and special events!

    OshKosh B’gosh partnered with bloggers such as me to help promote Back to School Denim.  As part of the program, I received product or gift cards.  OshKosh B’gosh believes that consumers and bloggers are free to form their own opinions and share them in their own words, and therefore did not tell me what to purchase or what to say about the products I used. OshKosh B’gosh policies align with WOMMA Ethics Code, FTC guidelines and social media engagement recommendations. The winner of any giveaway in this program will be randomly chosen and gift card fulfillment will be handled by a third party.

      Since I don't have little ones anymore (and therefore supposedly have more time...although where?! lol), I should host a back to school party for my nieces and nephews. They'd love it! Looks like your party was a success! So fun!

      Love this. My girls would love the coloring bags as well. I think they would have sat there the entire time coloring. What fun!
