This is a Retro Re-pin Party so works a bit different than the usual link party.

If the link is not to a previously pinned post, it may not be pinned.
Example:http://www.pinterest.com/pin/555139091540348954/

Very simple rules for this party:

1. Add up to 2 pin links to your pinned posts - the older the better!
2. Repin at least 2 other pins because that's why we are here!
3. Link back to us if you would, it's the nice thing to do!
4. Come back next week and repeat!
5. Spread the word, the more the merrier!

40th Snickerdoodle Sunday

Hello everyone! Did you see the title? This is our 40th Snickerdoodle Sunday! Man has this party changed from the very first one!! Kristina and I are always so excited to see what you guys link up each week and you never disappoint - you guys make this such a fun party!

For the last few months we have been featuring a new blogger each week and offering them a chance to co-host and pick the next week's fav. You guys will not believe how hard that has been to get in contact with the blogger, get the needed info and get the post done in time. Since we are all so busy with summertime Kristina and I will share the Most Viewed Post each week. If you would like to co-host sometime, drop us a note!

In addition, each Snickerdoodle Hostess will pick her favorite post to highlight each week. I hope you remember to follow and visit each hostess so you can check if you were featured!!

Yes!! That's the possibility of being featured 4 times at one party! WOWZERS!!

Back to School teacher Gifts


Oh my, school is starting here soon! Where did summer go? Better yet, where has this year gone? I will tell you, since our newest edition has came, time seems to fly by. It just dawned on me the other day that school was fast approaching for my daughter. Do you have your children ready to go yet? Our school supply list just now got posted for our school system and we went out the other day and picked up everything on the list. I was shocked, there was less items on the list than last year. I would have to thank our school board for that. Our school board had to approve the list which means there were lots of items left off the list.
 With school fast approaching I have been noticing pins on Pinterest of giving your child's teacher a gift at the beginning of the year. I have heard of giving the teacher at the end of the year, Christmas and on teacher appreciation day, but never at the beginning. When do you give your child's teacher gifts?
If you do give them a back to school gift, what type of gift do you give your child's teacher? 
 I scrolled thru Pinterest looking for nice gifts that would not break the bank and would be easy to make and I wanted to share with you 6 gifts that I thought would really bring a smile to your child's teachers face.

A jar full of cookies

A jar of fresh cut flowers.

So out of the six pictures I can not decide on what to do for my daughters teacher. I really like this idea of giving a gift at the beginning of the year. These gifts do not have to be expensive just something small. Are you ready for back to school? What type of teacher gifts do you have in mind?
