Motivating, encouraging, and celebrating life
My Momma was a beautiful person…inside and out. In most of the pictures of her, she is wearing a smile. In life, she taught my siblings and me how to smile, how to laugh (even when things weren’t going our way) and definitely how to have a sense of humor. She modeled that one well! She also taught us how to enjoy the little things.
Employees look forward to going to a workplace that they enjoy… don’t you? Injecting the fun factor helps staff members have a sense of belonging, builds rapport, and reduces stress. You can help create an enjoyable work atmosphere with ready-to-go scavenger hunts. Note: Click on any of the scavenger hunt product picture(s) in this post to see more details. 1) Grab your photo-taking devices and
Want to add PIZAZZ to any goodie/gift bag? The possibilities are endless…but let’s start with THREE!

Throw in a genuine smile and you’ve just made someone’s day! “Visitor Welcome Cards” are designed to help do just that. “Thanks for visiting!”, “Thanks for stopping by…” The variety of messages on the cards is simple

One day my husband stopped by a convenience store and bought her favorite large fountain drink on his way to his appointment there (without her asking). You’d have thought he bought her an
Right before I retired, I started making digital download products for fellow elementary principals to help motivate, encourage, and celebrate their staff. At the time, I had plenty of room for an office area at home (i.e., a laptop, printer, paper, supplies, camera, and a photo shoot area) to produce the products. I never dreamed I’d be taking the show on the road…literally. Since 2018,
I’m so excited! These cards are what I was looking for when I was an elementary principal to THANK my wonderful staff at the end-of-the-year.

For example, if you studied whales,
