Back 2 School with Dollar General!

Dollar General is just about the only store in our little tiny town!

It's perfect for anything we need without going 40 minutes into town.

Great place to stock up on school supplies too!

I love a small store--it's so easy to run in and get everything you need and not be gone all day!

Dollar General's Back to School Facebook Page and App launches on July 28th!

It's going to be filled with:

• A word game 

• A quiz – “Which DG Back 2 School Supply Item Are You?” 

(I am totally curious what I am...I love school supplies...maybe scissors--I have a slight obsession)

• An Instagram feed with various #DGB2S products and savings 

• Your #DGB2S Giveaway – Winners and best photos will be showcased on the Facebook app!

• Link to the Dollar General Tips & Ideas page with other great back to school articles 

• A helpful link to shop DG School supplies online

I took the kids to DG and we got some supplies.

We homeschool year round, but I love school supplies!

This year we got lots of organizers, markers and colored pencils, glue sticks, 

a workbook and Prism tape to color code the kids folders and books!

This little Kindergarten baby got to pick out his own scissors!

So grown up!

So, the cool thing is that 

Dollar General is doing a huge 
Instagram giveaway of $25 gift cards!

All you have to do is:

Instagram photos of your kids holding signs with their

 upcoming school year written on them

 or a photo of their kids with their school items

Root Beer Float Popsicles!

Root Beer Float Popsicles!
Perfect treat for a hot summer day!

 You will need root beer and ice cream!
3 oz. paper cups
popsicle sticks

 Place cups on a platter that will fit into the freezer.

 Add about a half inch of root beer in each cup

 Freeze completely!

 Then add a small round scoop of ice cream on top of the frozen root beer.
Add a stick through the ice cream.
Then place back in the freezer for a couple hours.

 Fill the remaining cup with root beer and freeze again.
(I let them freeze overnight)
There was some overspill from the fizziness of the root beer!

 Then just peel off the paper cup and enjoy!
They are so yummy--but they melt fast!
That's why the 3 oz. size is perfect!  :)
