I always knew I wanted to be a teacher & being a parent gave me the platform to be the most influential teacher to the most important students in my life. So, how does a former teacher turn mom keep the teacher spark alive? She creates, makes messes, survives a daily grind & tries to sneak in educational moments for the little ones. Sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn't, but just adding hugs & kisses makes everything better.

Handprint Plate
My first attempt at a gift for Grandparents and Great Grandma turned out pretty decent... This is a regular ceramic plate from Target and I added Oil Based Sharpie markers. I baked it at 450*, starting with a cold oven, and bake for 30 minutes, then turn off and wait a few hours until cooled and set. I then put non-toxic pain on my daughters hand and put it on the plate. These were a big hit with everyone who received one, I'm already planning my next creation- this was very easy!
