I recently shared with you some “hat” topic writing ideas, and I have some followers interested in the “hats” theme, so I thought I would go ahead and reshare that with you today. There really isn’t a whole lot with this one, but I’ll share what I have.
This is a great theme for Mother’s of course, but for volunteers or team members as well. It can be suited to almost any group of people that you want to give some recognition.
