This week our family went back to school.

DD is in 1st Grade.

DS is in 4th Grade.

Hubs makes lunches for both.

Having our kids do well and like school is important to Hubs and I.

I firmly believe having a “desire” to learn, to read, to explore and to apply yourself means success in the years to come.

But, let’s be honest. School is hard. Subjects can be challenging. Kids can be mean. Teachers can not understand. And sometimes you just need a reminder there is a safe place called “home” you can land if your day is less than “Awesome.”

And Hallmark “gets” that kids need this reassurance.

They have created two different products to help kids feel that love and reassurance.

First is the Hallmark’s Back-to-School Care Package. It includes:

  • A pack of Hallmark’s Kids Collection greeting cards, which feature both inspirational cards as well as any-day cards featuring Justin Bieber.
  • Lunchbox Notes, which offer 50 ways for you to add a little love to lunchtime.
  • And Bug’Em, a pint-sized plush that can hold cards and other tokens of encouragement and give an unexpected lift to your kiddos day.

Second, is Nugget the Dog Interactive Story Buddy and his book First Day of School. The story chronicles Nugget’s first day of dog school, from the nerves beforehand to all the new puppy pals he makes during the day, and his excitement to return. (And the interactive story allows Nugget to reply aloud to key phrases in the book.)

And because Hallmark loves sharing the “love”, they are giving away either a Back-To-School Care Package or Nugget the Dog Interactive Story Buddy to one lucky KCM reader.

Here’s How To Enter The Giveaway

(Remember, each comment is considered a entry – so leave a separate comment each time.)

Leave me a comment with the words or phrases you use to encourage your kids. (Ex. God made everyone unique and your gift is singing.)

Additional entry: Become a email subscriber to Kansas City Mamas. (I promise, I won’t spam you.) And then leave a comment and let me know.

Additional entry: Become in Like with Kansas City Mamas on Facebook. (We have fun, I promise.) And then leave a comment and let me know.

Contest will be open till end of day on August 22, 2012. Winner will be notified by email and has 48-hours to respond before another winner is chosen. Good Luck.

    We start each day by one of us asking, “Who is in control?” Everyone else responds with, “God is!”

    To encourage my son I tell him everyday to “Be the best Dylan you can be today”! Sometimes our best varies, and I like him to know that that is okay. I know my best varies and I love my family for accepting my fair days with the same kind of grace they enjoy my awesome days 🙂

    I always try and point out things that each boy does everyday. I also sing them each a special song in the morning.

    I tell my kids no matter how matter what happens I will always love them, believe in them and worry about them.

  55. Kim says

    Lots of encouragement, I love you’s, hugs and kisses and reminders that no matter what your family loves you and is here for you. It is the beauty of their heart that matters and as long as they are doing their best we are proud of them.

    I just tell my son I love him as often as possible. It is important for kids to know that! I also tell him I am so proud of him everyday 🙂

  71. BARBARA SCOTT says

    I always tell my son that if you can dream it you can do it! It’s so important for kids to realize that they can accomplish their dreams through hard work and perservernce….but the first step is believing in yourself.

  76. Lindsey L. says

    I tell my kids that they are smart and I love them so much and they can be anything they want if they work at it!
