{Fab Top Five} Top 5 Back to School Teacher Gifts

While my children have completed their first week back in school, others will be going back in the weeks ahead. While shopping for school supplies consider picking up or crafting a fun back to school gift for your child’s new teacher. The week before school started was all kinds of crazy so my children will be making theirs this weekend. Teachers are such an important part of our kids lives that a quick note or gift of thanks or even a recommendation of a free grader that will help decrease their workload will go a long way in starting a great relationship with your child’s teacher.

Here are a few fun and easy gifts to put together to show your child’s teacher how much you appreciate them.

Tickled Pink: Grab a pink mason jar and fill with fun items a teacher might need for her personal use. Chapstick, hand lotion/sanitizer, and nail polish are just a few ideas of what you can put inside. Get more ideas and the free printable HERE

 

Mason Jar Teacher Gifts

 

Thanks A Latte: Super cute. Great for gifting a gift card and travel mug. Find the instructions and printable HERE

Back to School Teacher Gifts

 

Customized Printable Art: These are great for a teacher’s desk or to hang in their office. For only $7 you can order this as a digital file, print yourself and place in a frame. Customize your order at this Etsy shop

Back to School Teacher Gifts

 

Fun Gift Card Holder: With budget cuts we all know that some teachers have to dig into their pockets to make sure their students have what they need. A kind gesture of a gift card to Walmart or Target would be appreciated I am sure. Find instructions and this printable HERE

Back to School Teacher Gifts

 

Succulent Desk Planter: Add some color and life with a easy to maintain succulent. This ruler box will take a little handiwork but is so cute. Find the instructions HERE

Fab Top Five – Top 5 Drugstore Beauty Finds for Spring

With each season beauty brands give us the best they have to persuade us to purchase the next hottest color or formula for the upcoming season. Reeling off the deep colors from Autumn and Winter the bright pastels and happy colors are welcomed.

As I mentioned in my Milani post last week, I am really looking forward to adding to my beauty arsenal. While I’m not submerged in beauty products around here I do have a few favorites to share. Seeing that I am cheap, I have yet to splurge on some of the bigger items so I stick to my CVS or Walgreens for the majority of my beauty product purchases.

Five Fabulous Months!

Addison,
You turned five months on October 12. At your four month doctors appointment you weighed 13lbs. 8oz. and you don’t return to the Dr. until you are six months.During this month you got your ears pierced, tasted a little cereal for the first time. You are still breastfed and are NOT sleeping through the night on a consistent basis. When nursing you like to grab my lips or swing your little arms and hit me in the face. You are smiling and laughing alot. You still cannot sit up by yourself, although you are trying. You blow a ton of spit bubbles and can wet up a bib and shirt like nobody’s business. You are now rolling over big time, and we can’t take our eyes off of you for one second, lest you hit the floor.
You can surely turn into a Diva at a moments notice..just like your mama!!
You are reaching for everything and refuse to stay in the swing or your bouncy seat.
You and your brother are interacting more, and it warms my heart
We don’t particularly like for you to fall asleep in this thing, but you seem to like it more than the bed
When sleeping in the bed most of the time your little butt butt is in the air and other times…
you find it hard to keep your little hands and feet inside
You found your toes and….
it is not uncommon for your bib to turn into a cape
You are the princess of this house and are waited on hand and foot. Thus this photo of you in chill mode enjoying one of your favorite past times…sucking on your socks.
Mommy
