The other day my son said to me “Mom, we should have every Saturday dinner a fun dinner. You know, like the Aliens and race cars that we had.” Bless him. I love that they want to help me in the kitchen and eat fun things. So we decided to make something similar to our […]
I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]
I’m beginning to get a little tired of the rain around here. It’s May for heaven’s sake and it’s pouring outside. I want summer! I want to be able to open up my windows and smell the fresh air. I want to wear sandals and capris and not feel like I’m frozen. I want to […]
Our last Halloween post for the season (sniff, sniff) is a simple but fun one – Mummy Pretzels! Cute, right?!?! We found two different versions on the internet, here and here – both adorable. The girls loved making them. I’m pretty sure they ate about 20 eyes a piece before I realized where they all went. […]
One of the best things I’ve done with my kids is taking them camping. I was a little afraid the first time we went. It was just me and my two, very young, children. We had so much fun. Now, 5 years later, it’s the highlight of our summer when we go camping. We load […]
I can’t believe it’s October 10th and this is only our first Halloween post. Eeeee gads! I’m behind! I need to get my behind in gear and Halloween it up. So, to kick off one of the greatest Holidays known to man…. here are our Sugar Wafer Monsters. If you haven’t checked out Sugar Swings! […]
My son wanted a Nerf birthday party. Do you know how hard it is to find Nerf party things out there??? It’s darn near impossible. Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie made our Nerf Birthday Party Invitations which were a giant hit! I don’t know how she does it but she is a computer […]
Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]

Lots of great ideas here, Erin. I think my favorite is the Dutch Bros. gift. Fun post.

I know whoever receives these gifts will appreciate your thoughts and kindness. When I was in junior high, teacher appreciate day was just taking off. My mom called all the moms asking them to have their kids write a note to their teacher. Mom and I made cookies and a poster for the teacher’s break room. Sadly, myself and maybe 2 other kids participated, but the teachers thanked each of us for days for our kindness. You know what they say….when you do something nice for others, you always get more in return.
Having your kids help make these gifts would be a great way to teach that, so thanks for sharing these easy ideas at my party!
Thanks for posting such a wonderful round-up of cool teacher gifts!
I know I commented before, but stopping by again to let you know I featured your teacher gift ideas on my Saturday Picks! Thanks for making this a great addition to my party. There is a featured button for your sidebar or a feature bag if you are interested. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Please remember the parapros/teacher’s asst. They are over looked many times. Teachers could not do what they do many times without that person helping them. Many times they do more than some teachers. They are under paid and under appreciated many times also.
Oh, who knew!? Thanks so much for sharing! I had no idea and you’re right, these people go un-thanked! Great ideas!

These are all wonderful ideas. As a former instructional assistant, I can attest to the fact that we are often underappreciated. I would even go as far as to say that IA’s often do way more than parents realize, and they think that the teacher did it all. I worked with our kindergarteners all year long with their reading and the teacher never did that but yet she spoke with the parents as if she had. I was there for the kids so I didn’t mind but you see what I mean? Again, thank you for the great ideas for us “other” teachers.
Its good to be here, very nice post, the content is amazing, keep posting friend it will be very helpful for everyone, Thanks for sharing. I really liked it.
Thanks And Regards
