Holiday Gift Ideas
Whenever there is a holiday and it’s time to go to preschool with my 2 boys, I always cringe a little. The teacher gifts are so beautiful, creative, and are a walking advertisement for Pinterest. The gifts for the kids in the class are even more amazing. I seriously don’t know how these moms do it.
I’ve said it a million times, but if it ain’t easy, I’m not doing it. When coming up with ideas for anything DIY, I consider all the moving parts. If I read past step 5, I’m done and move on.
