Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

Here’s everything you need to know about participating in the 2026 Back to School Bundle.

The Back to School Bundle is a free collaborative event where bloggers and content creators come together to offer an incredible collection of resources for parents and families navigating the back-to-school season.

It’s one of the best list-growth opportunities of the year - contributors grow their email lists while their audience gets a huge collection of valuable resources at no cost. We all benefit from promoting together.

In 2024 the bundle attracted a highly engaged, family-focused audience - I’m building on that success to make 2026 even bigger. I’ve designed this year’s bundle to be streamlined and easy for contributors - more growth, less hassle.

Read through this page, then hit the button at the bottom when you’re ready to apply. Can’t wait to grow together! 🎒
