classroom valentine

This is for those of you that may have received my Christmas Card in late January (which isn’t many since I still have a stack to mail on my desk). I am on the ball for Valentine’s Day! I’m going to make up for the rest of my Pinterest-Mom failures last year and order Kate cute Valentine’s Day cards for her classmates. I thought these would be easy to attach a pencil, cookie or candy to move closer to Mom-of-the-Year status. (note: usually when I am prepared like this, I will inevitably get an email two weeks after from the teachers saying they will not be participating in that holiday…wish me luck).

I tried to save the cards that I thought would be easy to attach something you can easily buy at Target on my Minted Storefront HERE.

I am excited to be a new Kelly Moore Bag Affiliate Partner. I absolutely love my 2 Sues’s leather camera bag. There are lots of sizes and options to choose from. I think my favorite aspect is the compartment that holds all my camera cards on a photo shoot.  I have tried other bags but always come back to this one so I wanted to pass on to anyone interested that they are on SALE this weekend.

The Our Town cover this month features a new couple that has relocated to Smyrna and their furry friend, Jackson. We had a quick session with a lucky break in rain last month.  Family pets always add interest and lots of fun. Jackson definitely had a great time and found out where all the people gather on Food Truck Tuesdays!

Wednesday means Fox 5 Atlanta will be showing a Wednesday’s Child Segment featuring a foster child in need of a permanent home.  Try to catch channel 5 at noon or 6pm for the latest feature. I assisted one a few months ago by taking pictures of Toni’s segment at an Atlanta hair salon. Toni got a day of special treatment getting a total makeover.  She was full of questions for the professional hair and makeup team. I loved her ambition and all the things she wants to do in life.  You can see more about Toni and her segment here. She will be aging out of foster care soon and would benefit so much from a permanent family that could provide extra guidance and love.

More about Toni

“Toni is a funny and positive teen with a great personality and a great sense of humor. She loves horses, playing card games, listening to music, talking and going to the movies. Toni also enjoys learning new things, cooking and doing hair and make-up for others, at which she is very talented. She is interested in doing hair and make-up or cooking professionally when she grows up. Toni needs a loving adoptive family who will provide her with the attention, structure, encouragement and nurturing environment she needs to continue to thrive and reach her goals. Her family will also need to support her desire to maintain her relationship with her sister, who has been planned for separately, as well as her need for ongoing therapy and academic assistance, which addresses her developmental delays.”
