Happy 4th of July everyone! What are you doing tonight? I’m going to hope I don’t fry my eyebrows while I watch the amazed looks on my kids face as the fireworks go off. They love fireworks. Well, not the loud ones. =o) When I saw these adorable Corn Dog Cookies over on Sue’s blog, […]
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. […]
I remember making this years and years ago for a friend’s children. It was pretty cool (I thought) so my kids and I thought we would make it again for some friends. It’s super easy and it’s fun to do! What you will need: * any kind of clear bowl. We used a fish bowl […]
The weather here in Oregon has been really off the past couple of months. It was stinkin’ hot for awhile and then summer kind of disappeared the end of August. I’m not real happy about it. I LOVE the nice weather. Well, let me rephrase that. I love wearing flip flops and shorts. My wardrobe […]
A friend of mine at work bought this amazingly awesome ice cube tray mold for me. I thought it was a giant compliment when she said “I saw this and thought of you.” Seriously! How cool is that! I love it when people see weird but extremely cool things and actually think of me. What […]
I know. Don’t judge me. You’re thinking “that’s totally gross!” But admit it… you’re next thought is “but totally cool!” Right? Come on, admit it. These cookies are totally gross and totally cool at the same time. That’s why we had to make them. A friend on Facebook posted this link on my wall […]
We’re taking a little break from all of our holiday desserts to bring you a dinner idea. Crazy, right? Not so much if you know me. I just love making fun foods for my kids and with Easter coming up, I thought these Sloppy Joe Baskets would be fun to serve for dinner. They look […]
I love Halloween! Have I mentioned that? Yep, love it! And how could I not when this is what decorates my kitchen? Cool, right?! Dirty Q-Tips! Ha! I saw these over on Pinterest too. Along with the Bloody Band-Aid Cookies that we made. It originally came from Katherine Marie Photography. Super simple but the […]

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
