Why my students love their mothers...

For Mother's Day, I had my little kiddos make cards for their mom (and a few grandmas) and I asked them to write seven things that they loved about their mom. Here are some of the answers I got...

"I like your shed."

"I like your elephant bird bath."

"I love your potato soup."

"I like your bed spread."

"I love when you drive."

"I like when you talk."

"I like when you tuck me in."

"I like when you make my bed."

"I like when you buy me clothes. But I don't like the clothes you buy me."

"I love your shoes."

"I like when you take me to McDonald's."

"I like when you kiss me."

"I love when you give me candy for dinner."

"I love you because you're my mommy."

"I love you because you made me."

"I love you because you wash the dishes."

"I love you because I kiss you."

"I love you because you give me video games."

"I love your cool ring."

and...

"I love you because we live in the United States."

These kids just crack me up. EVERY DAY. :) Happy Mother's Day!!!

 

DIY: personalized wedding gift: key fob

About a month ago, I bought these key fobs on Pick Your Plum (which might I add, is FANTASTIC! Seriously... hop on over and check it out, then subscribe for their amazing daily deals) and had them sitting around waiting for an idea.

My dear friend, Sunil, got married last weekend to a darling, godly woman, Amanda. Since I know myself, and I've gotten a decent clue as to just how wonderful Amanda is, I picked out the seemingly PERFECT gift to add to their already crafted wedding gift.

...and her new last name is on the other side. I know if I was a newlywed, I would freak at this gift, and possibly even just carry my keys around the house. So, I made my own... "Miss" on one side, "Roberts" on the other. haha! I'm paranoid enough about losing my keys... hopefully this will help if I ever do!

The key fob is made of thick felt, and the stitching is brown embroidery floss, leftover from my mug hug. I'm really excited to give it to her soon!!! :)
