Hot Mama In The City

I had my Back-to-School shopping list ready and my first Stop was Dollar General. While I was there I also decided to put together a BTS gift basket for my kid’s teachers and grabbed all of my Georgia-Pacific back to school needs to help them stock up on some of their classroom needs. I Purchased Sparkle paper towels, Dixie Plates, Angel Soft toilet paper & more! Dollar General offers a large selection of great quality BTS supplies and items for the home at a great price.



Sparkle paper towels have a fun custom back to school print that is perfect for every classroom!


A few good friends of mine are teachers and I believe that teachers are often taken for granted and don't get the recognition they deserve. It’s important that teachers remember how amazing their selfless profession is. Teaching is not a 9-5 job, it's a lifestyle that they have dedicated themselves to. Teaching is rewarding but sometimes it can be thankless and draining. That’s why I think it’s very important to remind teachers that they are making a difference. When they aren't “working” inside of a classroom they are brainstorming new classroom ideas, training, or spending money on things they need for their students. They work tirelessly to create meaningful relationships with their students in order to make them feel cared for while they learn their core subjects. Many teachers work before the sun comes up and many stay until the sun sets.

No gesture is too small or too big to help make a teacher feel appreciated. Anything from a notecard with a few sentences to school supplies for their classroom can go a long way.
