With Thanksgiving happening later this week, I put together some fun "Thankful for You" teacher gifts for all our wonderful teachers who we appreciate and adore dearly. I feel like I say this every year, but it's just so true...and worth saying again...my kids really do have the such wonderful teachers. We are lucky and very blessed to have teachers who care so much for … [Read more...]

Here's another simple and easy idea to say Thank You to someone this holiday season. The kids decided they wanted to give their teachers gift cards to Starbucks as a thank you for working so hard to teach them every day.

It got all of us thinking, and the kids decided that we should do something nice for them as a thank you. I … [Read more...]
Thankful November
We started off our November with a bang this year by spending a few moments each day writing down what we are thankful for in our lives. I like the idea of taking a little time to do this since it gears us up for Thanksgiving at the end of the month and then will hopefully carry over into December too. I really want my kids to think of others especially during this time of … [Read more...]

The Thanks Giving Tree-TUTORIAL & Giveaway
With Thanksgiving coming up right around the corner...less than 6 days away, oh my! I thought I would share a fun tutorial for a project that the kids and I did earlier this month as a reminder of all that we are thankful for in our lives. Earlier this fall, Elmer's and X-ACTO sent a kit full of goodies out to me so I could try their new Z-Series Knife. This knife is … [Read more...]
