Mother’s Day 2015
For Mother’s Day our children made hand print flower planters and self portrait silhouette’s as gifts. Although we encourage our children to appreciate their mother’s all year long, we truly want our Little Genius mom’s to know how much they are valued. So we made sure the crafts were created with a lot of extra […]
