One of the best parts of working for myself is having flexibility in my day so when my 4yo asked if I could come and talk to her class for career day, I said absolutely!
There were a few stipulations. I needed to bring a craft and I must “dress up in what I wanted to be when I grew up”, so said my 4yo old. The craft I could handle, and I was already doing what I wanted to do when I grow up, so off I went…dressed as a designer of course.
I had so much fun I thought I’d share some photos with you.
I prepared a craft for the kids to decorate a living room and dress a window. All my supplies are ready to go. A window, floor plan and all the cutouts to make the room pretty.
They were all so cute and the craft was a hit. Didn’t they do a great job?! Interior Designers in the making :)
Happy weekend everyone!

I am totally copying this idea if my son ever has a career day (I hope he invites me!) Way to go!! I’ll bet that they all want to be interior designers now!
