We were asked to share what back to school means to us.. So, to me back to school is a little sad because my son will be going to school for the first time this year.. I know his so ready to go, but I'm not ready for him to be so big just yet.. To make his first day special I made a fun little snack for him to eat on the way home from school..

    What a fun and colorful little snack :) I hope your son has a great first day, and even more so I hope YOU have a great day while he is gone and don't feel too bummed. Maybe you should make yourself a special mommy snack that involves chocolate ;)

    This is such a lovely project! The treat topper is absolutely adorable (the crayon is PRECIOUS) and the treat itself looks so tasty. What I love most is the project itself... he'll be (or already was) so happy to have something from his loving mom as he makes his way home from an eventful first day. Such a loving project! Thank you so much for playing along with us at Whimsical Wednesdays! :o)
