I don't spend my days in the classroom anymore, but once upon a time I was a teacher and this was the best week of the year. One of my favorite parts of teacher appreciation week were the heart-felt "gifts". I loved receiving letters from past and present students. I saved all of them. Those were the kind of things that reminded me my hard work and effort actually meant something. Today I am offering a fun way to thank a teacher for all they do. This is one the whole class can get in on ...
Mother’s Day Printable Questionnaire
This is the perfect way for the kiddos to tell mom just how much they love her. It can completely stand alone or accompany a gift. At the end of the day, knowing how much we are loved is what it is all about. This would also be a great option for teachers looking to do a little Mother's Day activity with their classroom.

Pottery Barn Inspired Baskets
I have a thing for numbers in home decor. I am instantly drawn to them. Dressers with numbers on drawers, stools with painted numbers or baskets with numbers. There is something about this small detail that I think adds a lot of personality and a sort of vintage flair. Every time my Pottery Barn catalog comes I see images like this. Source: Pottery Barn I am loving this look. I already had some baskets from Target sitting on my inherited TV credenza so I thought I would give them a little ...
