Spiders and spider webs embroidered onto US 19thc crazy quilts were thought to help to catch good luck. Spiders are also said to bring luck to weavers & spinners #folklorethursday 🕷

I never thought I'd say this, but I kind of miss the days when my kids were basically adorable monsters with narcolepsy.

Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults.

I like to remember this every Jan 27th.

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern

@aliceleung Bravo! Adding onto the bag tag idea, I’ve seen kids with laminated reminder checklists tied to their bag so they can check they have everything (lunchbox, drink bottle, hat, reader etc). They decorated the other side with stickers!
