Welcome to the 2024 edition of the Apple A Day Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!
An “Apple a Day” as this blog hop is called, brings to mind the old proverb that goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. But that’s probably not the right reference because a) (A is for Apple, after all) that isn’t strictly true, although regular servings of fruits and vegetables do help with maintaining a balanced diet – and b) there’s a reference that works even better this month.
The other ‘proverbial’ apple saying is the poem (and meme) about “An apple for the teacher” and that’s the one that’s more apropos this time of year, as schools start in early August. Here in Gwinnett County they start on Monday, August 5. Which seems a bit early, especially around here, as it still feels very much like SUMMER!
Which it may be according to science, but it isn’t really because it’s BACK TO SCHOOL time!
For more bright, shiny prizes – just like an apple – be sure to visit the other stops on this hop!

No kids to go back to school.
My kids are grown but our grandson will begin 1st grade next week.
i like the back to school sales.
Yes & No. We moved to a new state.
It doesn’t really affect us much, we just need to remember to stay away from school zones during drop-off and pick-up times
My son has already graduated.

Yes, my family is definitely looking forward to the Back to School season! It’s an exciting time with the anticipation of new beginnings, fresh school supplies, and reuniting with friends. My niece, Izzy, is especially eager to start a new grade and meet her new teacher. We’ve been enjoying shopping for colorful notebooks, pencils, and fun backpacks. It’s always a joy to see her enthusiasm for learning and the new experiences the school year will bring. Plus, it brings a bit of structure back into our routine, which everyone appreciates after the summer break.
We don’t have any kids in our house. We are looking forward to fall though.
My kids are grown, so I don’t care about back to school! I am looking forward to cooler temperatures!
My youngest is in college so she is excited. Thank you

My kids finished up last year, so there are no back-to-school worries for them.

Back to school season isn’t applicable in my house, I certainly never looked forward to it.
My kids are grown but my nieces are excited for school to start.
Yes. We are looking forward to the upcoming school season.
School for my daughter started on Wednesday for her online academy in Junior year. I agree thought that it definitely is feeling more summer time now than when they were out for summer. Henry County kids started back to school on August 1st.
I don’t have any children.
Oh yes! I will have a lot more time for reading books.
My nieces are super excited to go back to school!
My children are cats, so we don’t pay much attention to the back to school season. 🙂
Yes, for sure, a new school year is always exciting!
no kids here
I don’t have kids.
My daughters are both in college.
After years of being a stay at home mom, I now have adult-aged children (who don’t yet have children of their own). So back to school season doesn’t really mean much to me at all anymore.
I don’t have kids, and my nieces have grown…
I am looking forward to having the set schedule of the school year making things easier

My daughter is looking forward to it, but my son is not.
No back to school season here.
My children are out of school, but I do enjoy back to school season only because I like the transition into Fall and with that, many happy memories both when I was growing up and my girls as well.
Yes, excited to get back into a routine!
