Why Didn't I Think of That? Wednesday

Each Wednesday I'll share a tip to make your week go more smoothly or just make you say "aha!"

It's back to school time already, and kids with birthdays in the fall are already deciding what they want to bring to the class to celebrate.

Parents know that most schools have food restrictions, due to allergies and other health concerns. But that doesn't need to spoil the birthday celebration!

Ask the teacher if you can donate a book to the classroom instead. The birthday kid can read the book during story time and you can even include an inscription. No allergies, sticky fingers, or messes!
