As part of our teacher gifts this year, I made a little tea wallet for each teacher. We gave ours with a mug ($8 for a pack of four from Coles – $2/gift), a couple of TimTam Bites ($3 for a pack of 12 – 50c/gift), and filled the wallets with a selection of 6 teabags (a gift box of […]
This week, I feel like I should apologise for my absence, and for my lack of posts on Tuesday & Friday like I would normally. On Tuesday, my heart was too sore.
