For Your Littlest Lady




Little girls love pocketbooks. They enjoy carrying their belongings around in their bags just like mom. The etsy shop http://threelittleladies.etsy.com/carries adorable skirts and matching tote bags for the little ladies in your life. Her handmade Halloween tote may just be the perfect treat for the upcoming holiday-sure to put a smile on a cute little face!

Substitute Teachers




I am currently a substitute teacher and let me tell you this is not an easy thing to do. Having taught my own classroom for many years and then becoming a teaching assistant, I have had over 25 years experience in the classroom. Although I have taught almost every grade level from kindergarten through grade 8, nothing is quite like subbing. As soon as the kids see you walk into the room, their mischievous eyes light up with glee. They all have the same goal . What can we do to make this woman's life miserable? Of course , I let them know right away that they are messing with the wrong lady, but at times it can be quite a challenge.
Today while browsing through this delightful etsy shop, http://urbanbasement.etsy.com/ I found the perfect journal , entitled Substitute Teacher and laughed out loud when I looked at the teacher's face. I can relate! This shop has some wonderful prints, postcards and journals which would make wonderful gift items. If you know a substitute teacher, make her day and buy this wonderful handmade journal. I am sure she/he will love it.
