Thank you, Teachers.

What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation. Marcus Tullius Cicero

Huh... I wouldn't quite have put it that way, but I get ya, Cicero.


Hi friends (waves shyly). I'm still here. :)

In case the title did not give it away, it's graduation time. My family have been busy attending school concerts, plays and graduations. Today, my youngest daughter attends her last day of nursery school. There were laughs, hugs, lots of tears and many pictures and videos taken. My daughter loves her teachers, and we really wanted to show our appreciation to them. This year, our gift-giving budget is a little smaller than usual, but we still wanted to give them something.


We put some chocolate covered almonds into beautiful jar containers, wrap them up with some pretty fabric and ribbons, and some lavender sprigs from our garden to pretty them up.


We also included some Homemade Skor Bars (that's what we call them here).

You have to make these bars, if you haven't tried it yet. It takes about 15 minutes and it is quite kid friendly to make.

Yummy "Skor Bars", only better

We added the treats into some homemade gift bags (don't forget the handmade cards):

Finally, we delivered the gifts to the teachers with lots of hugs and thanks.

That's one child. Next week, my older daughter will want to do something similar for her teachers. No wonder I have no time for reading and writing blogs these days... :)
