Teacher Gifts

This week was Teacher Appreciation week at Avery Reese's preschool. We have been so blessed to have the same teachers last year and this year, Mrs. Iva and Ms. Shayne are wonderful!! It will be very hard to part with them next year (for both Avery Reese and I).

So the parents and staff provided a luncheon for the teachers Thursday (luckily some of my triple chocolate chip bundt cake was left over). We also gave Avery Reese's teachers a gift of our appreciation, they each received a gift card for a favorite place and I made citrus body scrub for them as well. I found this super easy recipe on the Paula Deen website. I hope they enjoy their gifts as much as we enjoy them.

Citrus Salt Body Scrub

1/2 cup sea salt

1/2 cup sweet almond oil (can substitute light olive oil

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon orange zest

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients making sure to not let any water touch them as it will dissolve the salt. Pour mixture into an airtight container and store in a cool dry place.
