Welcome to the 2023 edition of the Apple A Day Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!
While the phrase “an apple a day” used to be, at least, an invocation to eat one’s fruits and vegetables to keep from getting sick, as the original phrase was “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, the apple in this hop’s image is more likely “an apple for the teacher” as this is the week that kids return to school in a lot of districts – including the districts in my vicinity.
So the parents I know are feeling caught between looking forward to everyone going back to their regular routine and also kind of dreading going back to their routine all at the same time. While at the same time still being slightly weirded out as August 1 seems like it’s much too early to be sending kids back to school. It’s still SUMMER! Especially in this heat.
But it’s not. It’s Back to School time!
For more terrific prizes, be sure to visit the other stops on this hop!
