Finally the birds are beginning to chirp. With chirping birds we are reminded that spring is coming (even though many of us have thought it never would).  And with the onset of spring, we think of all the holidays to come and one of those is Mother’s day.   During this cold weather, it’s not hard to daydream about a warm breezy morning spent having brunch with my mother.

Not unlike a new mother, new fathers also deserve a special gift when their new baby is born. Sure, they do not go through the physical exhaustions and pains the mother goes through but, they certainly experience many changes in their life. It’s important to show them that they are not forgotten and that they also deserve a little something extra.

In today’s classrooms, teachers need all the extra help they can get. Classroom populations are at an all time high. Many classes even at quality rural schools have an excess of 25 children per one teacher in the classroom. We all know that the smaller the classroom size the more ideal it is for the educational process. It makes sense because of course we work better when there is less noise and distraction. Many classrooms request parents to come in and help. This help can range from volunteering for field trips, to helping organize crafts, and bringing in snacks. Volunteers and “class moms” are present in virtually every classroom. Unfortunately, a lot of the time teachers struggle to find these volunteers. But, once they have a few good ones of course they want to hang on to them. While, we know teachers are over worked and under paid it makes sense that they would want to thank their volunteers. This is incredibly kind of them because, we know it’s proper to purchase them gifts as a way to thank them for all the work they do but, they don’t have to purchase gifts for their volunteers. Not receiving material or monetary...Read More
