Friday!

Happy Friday everyone! There has been lots of good stuff happening around here lately and I have enjoyed enjoying it….. I promise to resume a more regular blogging routine next week when both my girls return to school. This weekend holds lots of fun….we will celebrate my girl who made me a momma SIXTEEN years ago this coming Monday…..she was born 4 weeks early on  September 1,...

Thoughts and Ramblings…..because it's Friday!

 That time of year has finally come to our house… back to school. My sophomore's first day is Monday. My 7th grader is lucky and is spared the dreaded day until the day after Labor Day. {She gets a week to  rub that fact in to her sister.} As a momma, I can get caught up in thinking about what my girls' growing up means for me…..   {I still find it really hard to  believe I...

Lately…..

via Perhaps it's the season of my life…. or our busy summer…. But for whatever reason, I have found myself "racing to the next moment"…..and I don't  like it one bit……. My big girl starts her sophomore year of high school in just 21 days, and my little one in 27 days.
