Schools Out: Teacher Gifts

The end of the year is coming up very soon! In a matter of weeks now! My kids have no idea what that means and in fact will probably be devastated when there is no more preschool for awhile. Though I am in fact excited for the weather that is "supposed" to be associated with summer. Last year was awful (I was thankful though being 9 months pregnant) but this year I want swimming weather EVERYDAY!

Anywho......we don't want to forget those very special teachers that helped our kids all year long, put in countless hours before and after school planing, are underpaid and had to put up with (I'm sure...but it wasn't me) irate parents (lol). Here are the links to the great schools out gifts for teachers that are shown up above. 

You can also view our Teacher Appreciation Gifts from Teacher Appreciation Week.

Also look for:

1. Apple Milk Glass and Matching Card 
2. I tried to track this one down, found the photo on Google images and LOVED it...so simple and SO cute...but it was copied and pasted to many times and error only resulting when trying to track down the originator. Any way this cute apple and Thank You tag is very simple to do. Thin ribbon/twine, make a tag and tie to an apple stem and your done!
3. Assorted gifts in a Soda Pop Box
4. Sweet Strawberries Gift
5. "You are sweet" Ice Cream Cup
6. Root Beer appreciation gift

8. Even though this was originally a Christmas idea you can use the idea and just make a few changes for your teachers.... Christmas Gift turn to End of School Teacher Gift
9.  Personalized Pencil Holder
10. Another idea for those of you who aren't so crafty...buy these Adorable Magnets for your teachers!

The Bachelorette, My top 4 picks

ABC's "The Bachelorette" aired two weeks ago and I finally have my top 4 bachelors. The top four are the ones who normally get to take Emily to meet their family. I really like this seasons Bachelorette because she has been through so much in her life that she does really deserve to be happy and in love. Even though I'm not sure a highly televised love has really ever "worked out" beyond what I can count on one hand. BUT lets all hope for Emily's sake and her daughters that Emily will find LOVE!


Don't watch?? Don't worry you can watch the latest episode on ABC's website, you've only missed two so far so it wont be hard to catch up! 
Go to ABC.com to catch up on episodes, watch video clips and more! Watch on ABC every Mondays 8:00, 7c.

The Bachelorette

Emily Maynard

 26, Single Mom, Charlotte, NC, follow this link to view Emily's Bio.

(My top 4 picks, in no particular order)

Bachelor Chris

 25, Cooperate Sales Director, Bartlett, IL, follow this link to view Chris's Bio.

Who are your top 3 favorite groups/artists & why?

Rascal Faltts – Their music seriously gives me goose bumps

Zac Brown Band – Awesome chilling music

Johnny Cash – Rebellious 

Why I like Chris? Emily had an instant attraction to him, not that attracting is the only thing, but he seems very genuine and she seems like she's not going to send him anywhere anytime soon. He'll have an individual date next week so I am very excited to see how that goes and to see if he goes home or sticks around.

Bachelor Jef

 27, Entrepreneur, St. George, UT, follow this link to view Jef's Bio.

Do you prefer "hot spot" type clubs or low-key bars and why?

Low key I like to talk

Why do I like Jef? He's corky and fun and just really low key, down to earth. He has a way about him that you just KNOW hes a good guy. You look at him and get a different idea but after you watch him and watch his bio on first episode you change your mind and I bet everyone will be rooting for him.

Bachelor Doug

33, Charity Director/Realtor, Seattle, WA, follow this link to view  Doug's Bio.

If you wanted to impress a woman what would you do and why?

Be there very time they needed me so that they know I was dependable. Not enough guys know how to take care of people anymore.

Why I like Doug? He's a single dad with full custody of his son, he's local, and just good ol' boy feeling about him. He could easily fit into the father role for Emily's daughter and they'd make cute babies...which Emily wants many of them. LOL. He also received the first impression rose by giving Emily a letter from his son to read. Usually the first impression rose winner sticks around till the very end couple guys and recently most of the the last two contestants. I also don't think that he's wanting the "spotlight". GOOOOOO Doug!

Bachelor Ryan

 31, Pro Sports Trainer, Augusta, GA, follow this link to view Ryan's Bio.

What is your greatest regret?

Not stick up and fighting for my brother when we were young. It never happened again. 

Why I like Ryan? He seems VERY a gentleman, but I don't have that absolute feeling that it would stick around FOREVER or that that really how he is ALL the time. But I still think he's a great guy. I also had alittle hesitation after watching this last episode when he went on the first individual date, he seemed out of his element or that he wasn't "into" it but after watching how truly happy and "falling in love look" he had for Emily when he watched her bring her daughter's soccer team snacks I now just think he was uncomfortable being thrown into the "DAD" roll but remembering him working with kids at his sports center I feel he'd be great at it. 

A close pick:

Bachelor Arie

Who I was kind of routing for but changed my mind was Arie. He really seemed to hit it off with Emily and they'll be going on an individual date next week so I'm curious to see but I just don't think he'd be the best fit for a father role in Emily's life. He lives and races in the Netherlands, Emily wants to stay where she is. I also read his bio questions and that changed my mind, I think he's more the age of a 20 year old not a 30 year old. i like you Arie...sorry. I have a fear he'll go far in the show but I really hope he goes home before the end or before my top 4 do. Sorry Arie...you need to find you a single lady that's a thrill seeker too! :)

What's your best date memory?

When we took my motorcycle and rode to the park for a picnic. After we rode to the lake and went cliff jumping, it was an awesome day.

What is your motto?

Drive fast take chances.
