Note: I am an affiliate of Melissa and Doug and there are affiliate links in this post. But this actually happened yesterday, and I think this product is awesome. Carry on. It often happens when a gift-giving occasion involving the girl comes around that she gets more gifts than she wants to play with immediately. […]
Hold Onto Inspiration {Creativity Boosts}
Do you ever see inspiring pictures or quotes but don’t have a system for keeping them? That’s what we’re working on today. It can be as simple as a physical file folder if you tend to rip things out of magazines or print things out. I have a Pinterest board called visuals that I keep […]
