It’s a simple saying but it makes a BIG impact. I LOVE YOU WATTS! Perfect for any day of the year. Think Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, grandparents, teachers, friends – whoever! I feel like it’s such a blanket statement for ANYONE who makes a good impact in your child’s life.

Just download the provided file below, print it out in the comfort of your home and add your child’s handprints {or baby footprints} to complete the “rays” of sunlight from the light-bulb.
