The countdown is on around here–seven days of school left! Yippee! I cannot wait to have all three of my precious ones home for ten glorious weeks! And though our teachers are showing no signs of wear, I’m sure they could use a little encouragement these last few days of school to help carry them through! Couldn’t yours, too?

With that in mind, here’s another fast, simple, cheap way to say “we’re thinking about you! we appreciate you!” Simply remove the label from a bottle of water and add an encouraging message tied with pretty ribbon.

And for just a few cents more, you can add an individual drink packet or two (10-pack boxes can be found for a dollar or two in the drink mix section of the grocery store). I attached them by tucking them under a bright rubber band.

Yay! And this little blessing isn’t limited to your children’s teachers, of course: Load up a whole ice box/wagon of them and deliver them to a local park, the hospital, a fire station, a school, etc. with the kids!

So, would anyone in your realm of influence be blessed and encouraged by this little happy today?
