Give Dad the ultimate pick-me-up treat with this DIY toolbox! The perfect gift for Father’s Day, or any day your family wants to show extra love to Dad. Use the free printable provided to create this easy Father’s Day Box!

Dad’s Ultimate Toolbox Printable

What’s the best way to get through those hard days? The answer is candy, of course! This fun and easy printable is an amazing way to create an easy and useful gift for dads. Father’s Day is coming up, and if you or your kids are scrambling to find a gift that Dad will love, this Ultimate DIY toolbox is the perfect solution. Every dad out there will love their Father’s Day box, and the best part about it is how cheap it is to create! All you need are Dad’s favorite candies, a box, and this free printable for a memorable gift. Plus, you can give this Father’s Day box to Dad even if it’s not Father’s Day. Save this printable and give Dad his ultimate toolbox on his birthday, on any other special occasion, or just because. It’s a fantastic way to remind dads just how loved and appreciate they are. Have fun making this Ultimate Toolbox and enjoy your free printables!

Supplies you’ll need to create Dad’s Ultimate Toolbox:

  • A plastic box with dividers. I like these boxes because you can remove the dividers to customize the space and fit all of your goodies inside.
  • Candy, candy, candy! We used lots of different treats, including Rolos, Snickers, Hershey’s Kisses, and Ferrero Rochers (YUM!) Make sure they’re Dad’s favorites!
  • Any other small treats you can think of that Dad would love.
  • Curling ribbon to tie it all together.
  • Your free Dad’s Ultimate Toolbox gift tag printable! Just follow the directions below to get your free download.

Directions:

  1. First, fill your box with all of your “toolbox” essentials. We recommend Dad’s favorite candy and any other treats he would love.
  2. Next, tie your box up with your choice of curling ribbon and use scissors to curl the ends. Choose curling ribbon that matches Dad’s favorite colors for a personal touch!
  3. Then, you can hole-punch your Dad’s Ultimate Toolbox gift tag printables and tie them on with the ribbon or tape/glue them to the box — whichever you prefer!
  4. You’re done! Give your Father’s Day Box to Dad and pat yourself on the back for giving a great gift.

Thankful Thursday

thankful thursday small gift ideas for teachers

As a former teacher (and survivor of a Virtual Teacher Appreciation Week in Quarantine), I have always instilled showing thanks for teachers. Often this comes with me picking up a candy bar at the checkout line or grabbing an extra cup of coffee “thanks a latte” before dropping my kids off at school. These are just because occasions.

There are many ways to show Teachers Appreciation without waiting until teacher appreciation week. One way to is adopt a Thankful Thursday. This does not have to be every Thursday, just choose a Thursday one a month or twice a year in send in something small.

Alternatively, the homeroom parent can create a classroom SignUpGenius. Easily organize a weekly Thankful Thursday with classroom signups for schools and classrooms. Promote a spirit of gratitude by gifting something small every Thursday.

How to Write a Thank You Note To Your Teacher

thank you teacher

With electronics taking over, hand written notes are a thing of the past. Because of that, a handwritten note is more meaningful than an email or text. To show your upmost appreciation, use a pen or pencil to write your thank you note to your teacher.

First, start with blank canvas and outline positive words or phrases that come to mind when you think about this teacher. These are words you will want to put inside your letter.

Second, begin your letter with a salutation. This should be like with a “Dear _____,”

In your paragraph(s), give a reason your teacher has helped you or describe what they have done for you. Provide an example. Express the positive impact these words or actions had on you. How did this change you? Don’t forget your thanks.

End with a Closing.  Choose a “Sincerely”, “All the best”, “Warm wishes”, “Deepest thanks” and/or “thank you again!”

Teacher Appreciation Thank You Messages

Thank you notes can be brief. They can short little messages with quick line of thanks. Consider some of these Thankful Thursday Quotes for Teachers when adding messages to your appreciation notes.

Thank you for believing in me.

You showed me how capable I am of achieving great things.

I don’t think you realize it, but you were such a huge influence on me this year.

I wanted to let you know how much of an impact you’ve made.

You are, hands down, the best teacher I’ve ever had.

Teacher Appreciation Quotes

This printable teacher quote can be found on Etsy at Soul Printables, “a truly amazing teacher is hard to find and impossible to forget.”

Sign off your letter with teacher appreciation quotes. Below are some inspirational quotes about teachers to share at the bottom of your message or on your gift tag. Sometimes no additional words are needed.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” – Henry Brooks Adams

“When the teacher is ready, the student will disappear. When the student is truly ready… the teacher will disappear.” – Lao Tzu

“Most of us end up with no more than five or six people who remember us. Teachers have thousands of people who remember them for the rest of their lives.” – Andy Rooney

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

“One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.” – Malala Yousafzai

“A good teacher is like a candle—it consumes itself to light the way for others.” – Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

Glamping Ideas for the Ultimate Camping Trip for the Girls! Glamping: where stunning nature meets modern luxury.

Glamping Ideas for the Girls!


If I get a chance to get away with the girls, sleeping arrangements are often more like a 4/5 start hotel over an outdoor camping facility. I have always wanted to get one with nature, but I really enjoy the comfort of a nice bed and the enjoyment of a temperature controlled environment.  Since camping was always polyester tents and sand in my toes, and bed, I never really considered it. With the evolution of glamping, camping has one again peaked my interest!

If you have always desired a camping trip but feared loosing your comforts of electricity and down comforters, take a look at these Glamping Ideas for your next trip with the girls! Glamping is doing things outside of your comfort zone, while not straying too far!

These are the absolute Best Bread Machine Recipes. Check out our round-up of favorite homemade bread recipes you can perfect in the bread machine with simple secret recipes to create the best-tasting bread.

The Best Breadmaker Recipes

The Best Bread Machine Recipes

Calling all carb lovers! I have to admit, I absolutely have a weakness for bread. It’s filling, satisfying, and the possibilities of flavors you can add are endless! I’m no bread snob either — I love bread with fruit, white bread, wheat bread, and my favorite is bread with cheese and herbs… my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Our bread machine is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. I love that you don’t have to worry about kneading or resting times — the bread machine does all of that for you, so that bread making isn’t a process that takes up your entire day. Because of this, I’m always looking for the best bread machine recipes and testing them out. Try these delicious bread machine bread recipes for the most delicious payoff with minimal effort!

What’s the best bread machine?

I assume if you are reading this list of the best bread machine recipes, you already have your bread maker. If not, it’s important to choose the right bread maker machine so it’ll last you forever.

If you’re anything like me, you grew up hearing about your mother’s bread maker brands like Oster and Sunbeam. Actually, the best bread maker machine on Amazon is this Cuisinart 2-Lb Convection Bread Maker. This is the same bread maker that will cost you way more at a specialty high-end food supply store!

Another popular bread maker machine worth mentioning is Cook’s Essentials 1.5-lb Stainless Steel Breadmaker. Plus, get $10 off your first order at QVC right now with code FRIENDS. This discounted Curtis Stone 2lb. Bread Maker on HSN is a favorite as well.

What supplies do you need for bread machine bread?

Now that you have your best bread maker, you might be wondering what else you need to make bread. When making bread machine bread, it’s best to have a few key supplies on hand. Once you get these, you can add whatever fillings or additions you like to jazz up a basic recipe.

Most importantly, you’ll need these three ingredients:

  • Yeast (or a bread starter)
  • Flour
  • Salt

Having these three bread ingredients plus a liquid (milk or water) will have you all set for your first loaf of bread machine bread.

What’s the best yeast for bread making?

For the best yeast for bread making, we recommend this best-selling yeast, Saf Instant Yeast. Additionally, Fleischmann’s Instant Yeast works great for a bread maker yeast!


A few other optional items to have on hand include…

  • Bread Whisk
  • Bread Basket
  • Bread Knives
  • Bread Stencils


I also recommend having this Baking Hacks & Tips Conversion Sheet on hand. It’s the perfect resource for bread making and you can instantly download it!

How long does homemade bread last?

Homemade bread doesn’t contain the extra preservatives that grocery store loaves often do. That’s a good thing if you’re looking for a more natural option to satisfy your craving for bread, but you’re going to need a solution to make it last longer. Here are a few tips for how to keep your bread machine bread fresh and preserve the life of a homemade loaf of bread by a few days.

BEE’S BREAD WRAP

Bee’s Bread Wrap is a natural, sustainable and earth-friendly way to keep your bread machine bread fresh without using plastic. Reusable Beeswax Food Wraps are a zero waste solution. They’ll even save you money over time since they can be reused! The antibacterial properties of the beeswax keep your bread machine bread as fresh as possible so you can enjoy it longer.


Bread Bins

Next up, Bread Bins are a cute and easy way to keep all your bread making creations fresh. The bin acts as a protective house for bread while letting in just the right amount of air circulation to keep your bread machine bread comfortable and make your homemade bread last longer.


Bread Storage Bags

Bread Storage Bags not only eliminate waste as a sustainable option, but extend the life of your bread machine bread as well. They’re made with cotton to create a breathable environment for the bread machine bread so it will stay mold-free longer.


The Best Bread Machine Recipes

In an effort to appease my love of bread, I hunted down some of the best bread machine recipes for home bread making. Enjoy all kinds of bread machine bread with additions like fruit, honey, vanilla, herbs, and your standard grains.
