Veterans Day Video
We are so proud of our large military community at Hedeenkamp! Please enjoy the video we created to celebrate all Veterans and Active Duty Military! We appreciate your service and sacrifice!
Why Scentsy? According to our verified parent source, the worst part about being stuck in quarantine has to be the close sniffs coming from our kids’ rooms, right? How do these teachers do it all year long? No need to worry, we’ve got Scentsy to take care of it! You will find room sprays, car scents, laundry fragrances, essential oil products, sugar scrubs, lovable & huggable buddies, and so much more! So, rather than be sad we are still sitting at home, let’s sip some hot chocolate and enjoy our aromatic, amazing smelling homes with Scentsy!
