The Parent Bloggers Network

The first day of school never fails to elicit a flurry of emotions in both parents and kids. Boarding the school bus, locating your classroom, and finding your friends at recess - those nerve-wracking first days of school are still vivid in our minds, especially now that many of us are sending our own kids off to school.

Tell us about your own memories of the first day of school - the good ones (wearing your cool new clothes, discovering that your best friend is in your class, pizza for lunch in the cafeteria) and the not-so-good ones (getting caught picking a wedgie, not seeing a single old friend all day, forgetting your lunch money), or share your thoughts and feelings about sending your own kids off, whether this is your first year as a parent of a school-aged kid or you’re already an old pro.

This week, we’re working with Hanes to help moms ensure a comfortable start to the school year with new Hanes Comfort Fit Promise - better-fitting and more comfortable basic essentials guaranteed, or your money back! Kids will stay comfortable, confident, and even wedgie-free all school year long. Check out http://www.hanes.com/kids for more information, plus specials like the Hanes Comfort Rewards program!

Here’s how to participate:

Write a post on your blog telling us your stories of the first day of school. Post anytime this weekend - Friday, August 22 to Sunday, August 24 and include links to http://www.hanes.com/kids and http://blog.parentbloggers.com.

Make sure to send your blog post link to parentbloggers@gmail.com and we’ll round them up on our blog - so give your post a creative title!

What can you win?

We’ve got five $50 gift certificates to Hanes! That’s a lot of socks and underwear - and one less back-to-school worry!

Canadian bloggers are free to post and win, but the terms of the gift certificates specify that products must be shipped to a US address.

We’re looking forward to your posts!
