This post brought to you by Bealls. All opinions are 100% mine.

It’s back-to-school season. The number of days left spent poolside are numbered. The sun is slowly losing it’s heat, and the stores are stocking shelves full of pencils, colorful notebooks and folders and crayons as far as the eye can see. In addition to supplies, the kids have likely been growing over the summer. Pants that once fit well now look as though a flood is headed their way. Shoes that graced their feet just two short months ago have become tight and uncomfortable after a summer’s worth of sandals and sun.

Inevitably, a trip to the store is in order. As we head to the store to stock up for the kids we generally focus on essentials: t-shirts, socks, jeans and other items that can be layered once it gets colder. Start by for deals in the sale and clearance sections on summer items, searching for t-shirts and shorts that can be paired with long-sleeve undershirts and worn for the first two months of school. Once the weather truly starts to turn cold, the back-to-school items will all be on clearance to make room for holiday wear, and you can jump on those sales.

Back-2-School at Bealls has all you need for the back-to-school season, from uniforms to trendy styles for boys and girls. You’ll have all your back-to-school shopping done in no time.

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom winner will receive a $250 gift card to Bealls Florida (can be used online too)!

To enter, tell me how you would spend $250 on back-to-school shopping at Bealls.

Summer is always filled with adventure for our family. With five kids, any vacation or time together feels like an adventure, but spending time together as a family and exploring new places and seeing new things is totally worth the trials and pain of getting there. With summer winding down and school approaching, there’s still plenty of time for that one last family adventure. Take advantage of the last days of summer, get out and enjoy the time together as a family.

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!

Between camps, vacations and warm weather activities, summer is a busy time of the year for many families. We’ve gone from 4 of our 5 kids playing baseball on three different teams to an impromptu Myrtle Beach vacation last week right into every night football practice, so we know a thing or two about being on the go!

Luckily this Jif To Go Travel Pack arrived the day before we left for vacation. Let me tell you, it was a lifesaver! Our factory GPS system quit working a few weeks ago, so the Garmin was a total blessing.

But the real hit was the Jif To Go Peanut Butter. They were just what my kids needed when they got the munchies in between stops, and I love that you can use them so many ways — pretzels, celery, apple slices. All delicious choices!

Two lucky Deal Seeking Mom winners will receive a Jif To Go Travel Pack that includes:

• Jif To Go Creamy Peanut Butter 3-pack (1.5 oz. cups)
• Jif To Go Creamy Peanut Butter 8-pack (1.5 oz. cups)
• Tote Bag
• Garmin GPS System
• $50 gift card to AutoZone
• Jif Travel Mug
• Travel Scrabble
• Mini bags of pretzels

To enter, tell me what the last road trip you went on was.
