  1. Valerie,
    I’ve had your blog bookmarked for quite some time now and love it! I’m always needing good, frugal craft ideas for my girls, ages 3 and 5 who ask me for art projects almost daily. Additionally, my oldest started Kindergarten this year, and we have both LOVED the bento box idea. She looks forward to my creations and her surprises every day! Thanks for the creative ideas 🙂

  2. Hi Valerie!

    I just found you, and I love your site. Very fun stuff, and well-organized too. I’ll be checking out your gratitude activities, since Canadian Thanksgiving is around the corner!

    • Fantastic, Brian! It is so important to encourage kids to develop a good sense of gratitude. Welcome to FFFB & Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!! 🙂
