Hello! If you frequent Mama Writes Reviews with any regularity, you're probably expecting a Quickie Question, since that's the usual agenda around here. I'm going to make an exception this week!

I always have a hard time coming up with teacher gift ideas. I mean, they're so awesome and they've changed Froot Loop's life, and therefore, my life, for the better. I owe them so much!

Weekly Etsy Post: Instant Download Digital Thank You Notes!

So, last year for our VBS at our church, I was in charge of making and distributing our Teacher Treats: a little treat we gave out to each volunteer for each day they were there.
