President’s Day for Preschoolers
The best thing about February being such a short month is just how fast it flies by – we’re already well into it and President’s day is next week!

This year my daughter has multiple teachers, which has made the entire teacher-gifting experience a bit more of a challenge. For Valentine’s day I decided to keep it small.
