So, here goes!
My kids all went to public school. Where we live, the schools are still very moral and have a 'religious' undertone. Besides, I didn't think I was organized enough to homeschool them all.
I have 6 kids. They were quite a testimony in their school.
My youngest just turned 18, the oldest is 29. Middle kids are 28, 27, 24, and 20
Our public schools start mid Aug and get out for a 2 week potato harvest. Only the highschool kids can work now, but when I was a kid, we picked potatoes...it was the only way our families could afford school clothes. My college age girls start the end of Aug. (27thish)?
This will be my first year of not loading up on notebooks etc for the girls. But, I've had to dish out finding stuff for their apt. Glad they can be together rather than living on campus and in a dorm!
Survive???? This will be the first time in 30 years that hubby and I are alone...I am sooooo psyched!!!!! it may be a tad boring without the tales the girls always have around the dinner table, but I am so looking forward to not having to clean up behind anyone but hubby and I!
I am a follower
Kids are not in school yet but will go to private.
have a 2 and 4 yr old
Have two children
I homeschool my little guy.
I have one child.
We run school all year; learning is an everyday lifelong thing.
We buy things as we need them, so we don't do a big shopping trip.
We survive by taking it day by day.
My daughter goes to public school. We live in a little country area and I just love the school. It is actually the same one that I attended when I was little.
My son is starting public kinder this year.
I have two kids
two and five years old
School starts in one week!
My oldest son will be going to kindergarten this year. And he is going to public school, but after this year we may think about private. I actually was homeschooled for part of my childhood, and don't think I would do it with my children.
I have 4 kids, ages 6, 4, 2 and 6 weeks.
Oops, ha ha. Didn't read close enough through all the questions first. I will add that my 4 kids are all boys! :)
Our school starts August 24. My son goes that day, and then has the rest of the week off as the kindergarten teachers do individual assessments and then starts going over day on August 31.
Our school shopping is done. We just finished it at Old Navy yesterday. I LOVE Old Navy for my boys. Well, I actually may need to get one more pair of shoes. But we'll see...
I don't have a plan for survival yet, because I'm not sure what I'm in for. :) I think we'll just take things one day at a time.
one is in private shcool, the other in day care
i have 2 kids
2 and 5 years
i think the school year starts after labor day
i'm not shopping for anything in particular this year since they already have lunch bags
just getting through each day at a time to survive
1. My daughter will probably be home schooled when she's old enough.
2. One kiddo! And, if you care to know, we have 8 cats!
3. My daughter just turned three.
4. School starts next Friday I believe in this area. Not really sure.
5. When I was in school, we shopped for clothes(TORTURE) and shoes (CRUEL AND UNUSUAL!!!-I wear a size 11 shoe!) and art supplies (HEAVEN!) My daughter's not in school but I have been buying shoes, clothes, and art supplies lately since everything is on sale this time of year!
6. My plan to survive is similar to yours--when you have a three year old you take one day at a time, invest in good art supplies, books, and puzzles, and accept the fact that sometimes you just have to plop them in front of the T.V. for thirty minutes while you regain your sanity :)
7. I don't Twitter so I didn't learn a thing...sorry.
email subscriber!!!!
My kiddos aren't in school yet but we plan on sending them to Private school.

I have 2 boys. One goes to private catholic school and the other is in preschool/daycare. The oldest will be 7 in Sept. and the youngest will be 4 this month. School starts on 8/26 for my oldest. My youngest is in daycare/preschool year round. My school shopping is almost done. I still need uniform pants. My plan of survival is one day at a time with a little prayer and a lot of faith. I am not on Twitter but I bet the comments are great.
Hi My children have gone to public and seperate schools. MarionG

Well I have 3 children. Two are still in school. polo-puppy-fluffy at hotmail Dot com
Hi again. My youngest is 15, the next oldest 2 years older, and the oldest two years older than that. It makes me old thinking about it. My how they grow up fast. MarionG polo-puppy-fluffy at hotmail Dot com
School starts for us on August 31. Far to soon. polo-puppy-fluffy at hotmail Dot com
I've only started shopping for those supplies. Hope to make more of a dent in that next week. Need binders, notebooks, pens, pretty much everything. polo-puppy-fluffy at hotmail Dot com
I have 2 kids - 4 1/2 and 18 mos.
My daughter goes to private preschool, but will go to public next year when she starts kindergarten.
School starts the day after Labor Day.
My school shopping is done (it consisted of 2 school supplies - an 8 pk of washable Crayola markers and a roll of paper towels).
My daughter goes to a private preschool, but she will be going to a public school for kindergarten next year.

We didn't have much school shopping to do since she is only in preschool. A backpack is basically the only thing she needs and she has a basically new one from last year. We may pick up a couple of new outfits before school starts though!

My brothers go to public school. (like my kids)
eyedealdisorder@comcast.net
I have 3 brothers. (like my kids)

Most school supply for the 16 year old is done via CVS freebies. The 18 year old needs books for college classes.
The best plan of survival (for school, I am assuming) is organization, sleep, and breakfast.
eyedealdisorder@comcast.net
We home school!
I have four kiddos.
They range in age from 6 to 1.
Our school year is continuous. School (almost) every day!
I am just getting started and love the deals!
My kiddos aren't in school yet. But, kindergarten will be here too soon I'm afraid! :(
I have two kids.
My oldest will be 3 in a month, and my youngest is 10 months old.
I can't remember all the questions but quick run down. We homeschool, have 5 children, ages range from 8-1.
1. Do your kids go to Public, Private, or Home School?
My son is starting Public PreK this fall.
2. How many kiddos do you have?
I have one little boy. He's a pip!:)
3. What are their ages?
Connor is 4.
4. When does your school start?
Our schools start September 8th. My husband and I are teachers so we go back the same day as Connor starts.
5. Is your school shopping done and What do you shop for?
No! Dh and I always shop for school supplies for our classrooms - we teach in a low SES district and our students don't have much. Its easier for us to provide what we want them to have rather than have someone go without. So we hit up all of the major school sales for paper, pencils, crayons, glue, all of it! For our ds, we haven't gotten a list of his needed supplies yet but will get that next week. Plus, we also all shop for some new school clothes! Not done yet!
6. Let us know what your plan to survival is!
My plan to survival? I start prepping for a major freezer cooking session to have dinners set aside for the month of september. I will cook between 10-20 meals next week and freeze them in reheatable containers. Then I can just add a quick side and call it good. We are huge fans of our IPhones for the sheer fact that they sync to our family calendars. We always know whats going on and when. And finally, my biggest help - all bags get packed the night before along with lunches!
Great giveaway!
We have 4 kids: 13, 12, almost 5, 6
We homeschool and love it. We will officially start August 19th. I agree with one day at a time, with a lot of planning for a month at a time :-)
Thanks for the giveaway-

My children go to a public school in MN. I teach 2nd grade at a public school too. We're expecting our 4th child in Nov. Their ages are 7, 5 1/2, 1 and then the newest addition to come! Our school starts after Labor Day every year. We don't really school shop besides for school supplies. As our children need things shoes, clothes etc we get them. We don't make it a point to go out and spend hundreds on clothes when its not necessary and not in our budget! hehe My survival is is just staying positive, laughing every day is something we love to do here! As far as Twitter..I haven't quite understood Twitter. I signed up for it a bit ago but it didn't work and I don't have a cell for to do it that way! Thanks for letting me have the opportunity to join this contest!

I set a routine and stick to it. (Most of the time). But we are pretty flexible around here. My husband is in the ministry so we must be flexible!

Our school starts Aug. 25th and ends June 6th! I'm thankful we don't have year round school, I feel kids need a break, but I'm always happy when they go back, lol!
My school shopping is 1/2 done, I keep searching for deals every week. Pretty good so far, I haven't spend nearly as much as I thought I would!
jellibeenz1978@hotmail.com
Our plan to survival is to take it one day at a time! Years ago, I wanted to plan every minute of every day. Now, I let the days go unplanned most days, and I'm less stressed out doing that.

My kids go to public school.
Two boys ages 8 and 6(on the 12th)
School starts the 10th for my kids. My husband teaches in a different district and they start the 17th.
School shopping finished until the fall clothes chow up on clearance and in our local thrift stores. I am a bit of a school supply junkie and stocked up at the sales. I got what the kids needed plus extra to have at home for homework time and to replenish their supplies through the year plus some to give to some kids in our youth group who need supplies and some for stocking stuffers for my boys who love to do arts and crafts projects.
