The Mommies Reviews

My niece has all 4 of her children in school this year. The twins will be in Pre-K, Dixie is in Kindergarten and Payten if I am correct will be in 5th grade like my Nephew Jason. While Lily is in 3rd grade. Before we know these kids will be graduating just like Charlie. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchase.

I know the kids may be anxious returning to school this morning. I thought I would put together a Gift Basket for each home with Charlie and Suzzie’s favorite books along with snacks and a Gift Card to McDonald’s for a after school snack for the children. If you or your children have a favorite book you read for back to school leave me a comment so my family can check out the book.
