Last year on the first day of school I told my kids that I was surrounded by greatness. The idea stuck and grew throughout the following nine months. (Go here to read more.) This year I want my new little crew to know that they're full of greatness too. That's why something new is on my door to greet them. By the way, that's an inexpensive table runner from Big Lots. I'm crossing my fingers it will still be intact after 23 uncoordinated little bodies and their backpacks march in and out of the doorway day after day. No worries though. Greatness will still be happening long after it comes down.
Thanks Tara for the linky!
Love the door!

DeleteI've been a bit hunkered down and haven't even been reading my favorite bloggers - so glad I caught this this morning! Great message for the kids - and it looks nice, too! Sara
ReplyDeleteThank you Sara. I understand hunkered down. It's that time of year.
