Heidi Jo: wife, mama, baker, teacher, crafter, collector. Only good things happen in a house decorated with polka-dots that smells like dessert! God has blessed me……. I love my geek, our kids, flowers, tinted paint, white dishes, and flavored creamer with a little coffee. The best sound in the whole world is a little one waking you with “mama”, although it is more appealing after 5am. “Luck favors the prepared, Darling.” -Edna (the Incredibles)Tumblr (3.0; @heidijo)http://hjmac.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l67731xJkS1qzv539o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Gift to myself…</p> <p>Buy a new teacher a self-inking stamp of their last name.
