With Back-to-School in full swing I have been pondering what to give my daughter's teacher. There are so many fun ideas out there and so many cute things to give. But what do teachers really need?

{Back to School} Pencil and Crayon Cake
School is officially in session at our house--well, at least for some of our kids! Our oldest started last week, our Kindergartener starts tomorrow and our youngest begins preschool next week.

This tent would be the perfect place for them to hang out and have a special spot (without roasting in the hot summer sun. :) Now I probably could have taken a few months to figure out the measurements and all, but lucky for me I knew right where to look for the … [Read more...] about Summer Tent
