It’s Mylie’s first official year in school and so it’s our first official year to make “Teacher Appreciation Gifts.” Awesome! Luckily, as time goes on and I become more and more of a grown-up, I learn more and more about planning ahead. It’s a neat trick. So this year I was prepared and knew just what I wanted to do! I saw these cute gifts on Our Best Bites and thought they’d be perfect(ly easy). And they were! I think they turned out super cute if you ask me. We even made some for our church teachers, Mylie’s dance teacher and Nolan’s music teacher. So cute.

Teacher Appreciation Week
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011Feel the Love
Monday, February 15th, 2010A little post about our Valentines Day love in the Winters House.
Last week, Mylie and I made cookies to deliver to friends. We tried a new icing technique from Annie’s Eats, and I thought they turned out fabulous! We also used the cookie recipe from Nick’s cousin, Brandy, and it is definitely our new favorite.
Yesterday, after church, Nick and Mylie made some homemade Valentines for me (Nick had gotten his present the night before after the kids went to bed…. Get your mind out of the gutter people! It was a box of See’s Chocolates that we didn’t want to have to share with the kiddos). Nick made a cute little heart pocket-envelope and the two of them filled it with things they love about me. Some of my favorites: “Your sense of humor” (Nick), and “Food” (Mylie). But the best by far was the one that said, “I love your body.” And no, you gutter dwellers, that was not from Nick. That was from little Mylie!
