Gifts for Teachers Day: Mini Plant Pots

While teachers always deserve our appreciation, we think this past year might take the cake. Whether your children have been meeting with their teachers in person or virtually, there’s no doubt these humans have helped your kids navigate the challenges that the past year has brought. And we wouldn’t be surprised if they helped parents as well. Teachers have dealt with preschoolers in masks, chemistry class over Zoom, and band practice in the parking lot. They’ve helped kids through quarantine, the loss of loved ones, and an unknown future. And they’ve done it all while facing the same challenges themselves. If they don’t deserve a heartfelt thank you, we don’t know who does.

Mom Unfiltered: Stories

2021 hit mothers hard. Women have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Many mothers lost their jobs while being asked to suddenly become home school teachers. They’ve had to take on extra child care duties, and figure out how to make ends meet. Not only have had to adjust to all the changes and limitations, but they’ve also had to do it while making sure their children are as healthy and happy as possible. This year, we’re asking all mothers to share their moments of being a #MomUnfiltered. Here are some of the responses we’ve received so far.
