Teacher Appreciation Gift Day #2

Today the kids gave their teachers these keychains.

Truly, all of their teachers have been so amazing. I have not experienced better teachers in my time as Mom of a student. 

The kids even helped me make them. I hope the teachers all enjoyed them :)

Teacher Appreciation Day #1

It's Teacher Appreciation Week!

I have had some great experiences with teachers for my children. All three of my big boys attend school and each one of their teachers have gone above and beyond. They are caring, loving, and sweet - the epitome of true elementary teachers.

This week we will be sending a gift every day to show how much we care!

Today we sent these:

(I had to crop this one because it showed our last name)

I got the image originally from Pinterest, but the link was just to a media cache of this photo, which I then printed directly onto cardstock. 

Starbucks has these awesome Teacher Appreciation gift cards! Love it!

Check back all week for more crafts and gift ideas :)

Swim Suit Trends 2014

So many cute and classic trends for this summer's swim season! 

Topping the list: mix and matching patterns, high waisted suits, fringe, and aztec. 

I've compiled a few of my favorites up above.

Top left: AE Floral Tropic Bikini with coral bottoms. Cute, bright, perfect shape even for large busts. 

Top middle: Seafolly twist bandeau with AE printed bottom. Love this combo - bright colors, twist top, and aztec all in one! I'm thinking this may be the suit for me. 

Top right: Miu Miu bow swimsuit. I'm not usually a fan of one pieces, but this one caught my eye - so cute, bright, and classic. 

Bottom left: Bow top from Etsy and Madewell hipster bikini bottom. Love the bow paired with the polka dots - feminine and stylish!

Bottom middle: Topshop retro bikini top and Monki Jana high waisted bikini bottom. I don't personally like the high waisted bikinis, but I've seen some women rock it!

Bottom right: L'Space Dolly Fringe bikini. Love the shape of this suit, but the fringe may look odd on big busts. 

What will you be wearing this summer?

Update From Us

First - Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! My littles took the cutest picture known to man (above) so I'm pleased :)

Secondly, I have returned to the blog! It's been awhile - I've been absolutely swamped with orders! I appreciate my family, friends, and random Etsy users supporting my little business. You are all amazing! 

We have more exciting things coming up - this year will be the best yet!
