It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! Back to school week! Or, just another week for our Scottish bloggers…sorry.
This week is the week where uniforms will be carefully put on and then destroyed in a matter of hours; Mums will use more tissues than any other week; Coffee mornings will take on a whole new meaning.
This week is also a great time for RENEWAL! Maybe you need to start a new morning routine? What about getting yourself organised? Maybe a fun project to fill some of the hours between school drop off and pick up? Let your imagination run wild! Are you ready for our blogging prompts then?
Prompt #1: School Days
Share with us a memory from YOUR school days. Was there something that stood out in your years of formal education? Was there a teacher or class that inspired you? Did you rebel mightily and wish you hadn’t? Did you study hard and wish you’d had more fun? Tell us all about it! What were YOUR school days like?
Prompt #2: Me Time
Taking off from the intro paragraph, how will you use any new-found quiet time now that school has started? Tell us what your plans are for the coming months. Are you starting a new adventure? Going back to part-time work? Tackling a project in the house? Taking on an exercise/diet challenge? Will this day forward give you any more “Me Time”?
Prompt #3: #SnapHappyBritMums
One FINAL prompt for this week involves our #SnapHappyBritMums challenge. On Wednesday, 5 September, when many of our children will be heading out the door to school, our theme for #SnapHappyBritMums is Back to School. We would love it if as many of you as possible would take part. We will open a special Back to School Pinterest Board and would love to pin everyone’s snaps as well as RT them on Twitter. Simply use the hashtag #SnapHappyBritMums on Wednesday 5 September and we’ll be on the case. We’d love to see all of the bright, smiling faces of our bloggers-in-training as they begin their new year in school. Our #SnapHappyBritMums themes this month are courtesy of @ali991 and are also being featured by @SocialMummy on her blog, Social Mummy, as well as through LoveIt. Happy Snapping!
There we have it! Three prompts to help you this week as many of us start off on new adventures! Write up a post (or three), publish it and then pop back here to link up the post below. Be sure to tweet us on @BritMums as well so we can help promote your efforts! Have a wonderful BACK TO SCHOOL week!
Happy Blogging..

Hi thanks so much for the mention. The #snaphappybritmums gallery looks fabulous with so many great pictures. I don't have school aged children yet but certainly remember my school days mostly fondly so will have a think of a back to school post!
