Giving A Smile Card Made Me Smile!

1,2,3 Smile Cards!

Smile Story #1

Yesterday was the first day of school for my elementary school kids so I gave them each a Smile Card and explained it was to help make their teachers extra happy and and have a special first day. Since I walk my kids to school, I was able to see each them get a big hug from their new teachers after presenting the cards =)

Smile Story #3

I also sent out a second letter today to my mom with a smile card and the poem "Don't Quit" anonomously. She should be getting the first one today =)

Fun! Fun! Fun!
