  • Quick Teacher Appreciation Gifts

    For the first time ever I get to share what I put together for my daughter’s teachers.  How cute are these?! For the bouquets, my little one did some finger painting and then I cut the paintings into hearts using my Cricut.  I attached all of the hearts into the flower shape using glue dots, and then I stuck them on a green straw.   The books are copies of the Classroom Recipe Book that I put together when I was teaching toddlers. I was constantly looking u the same recipes on my phone and I was sick of searching for them over and over, so I complied them all into…

  • Quick, Easy Teacher Gift

    Do you still need a quick gift for a teacher in your life? Whether you’re looking for a great idea for a co-worker, or your own child’s teacher, I’ve got you covered. I just made these brand new watercolor note cards, and they’re editable so you can add your favorite teacher’s name in a fun font for an easy personalized gift. If you want to add a little more, tie the note cards in a ribbon and slip in a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card for a treat that any teacher is sure to appreciate (and actually use!).

  • Stock up for the end of the year!

    There’s still time to take advantage of a great sale over at Teachers Pay Teachers! Yesterday I shared what’s on my wish list for this sale, today I wanted to share some of the items that I’ve created that have been really helpful in getting me through the end of the school year! My Graduation Bundle not only helps me prepare my kiddos for graduation, but it also includes many of the things that I use for the actual ceremony.  Let me do a little of the work for you, so you can focus on the other details! The Get Ready for Kindergarten workbook is something that I send home with families.  Between end…

  • Teacher Appreciation Week – Don’t Forget about Yourself!

    I’m all for celebrating other teachers (and fully believe that we need to make time to do this more than once a year) but I also know that no one knows you better than you know yourself – So this year, I’m encouraging you to celebrate all of your own hard work! Take a little time to pamper yourself or indulge in a special treat.  You certainly deserve it, and let’s be honest, some of my favorite gifts are things that I’ve bought for myself! Whether you feel like making an investment in something you really want, or you’re looking to be a little more frugal, here are some of…
