First Day

Hello friends!  It's been quite a while.  A lot has changed in the past 6 months and it all took a bit of adjusting, but I must say, I'm in a good place now.  My days as a stay-at-home mama have come to an end as I accepted a new job back in April.  It was a huge adjustment for us with lots of ups and downs and each one of us having a difficult time here and there.  Life always has a funny way of working out and we're now well on our way in this next chapter of life.  I'm loving my work as the Director of an amazing early childhood center and have found my way back to some creative time as well.  I've missed my blog and my friends online, so I'm going to make an effort to start posting and sharing again.

I couldn't believe it when I woke up one morning this week as the mother of a second grader!  Where does the time go?  She's so adorable at this age and is loving every minute of second grade so far, already declaring this "the best grade ever"! 

I was sad that I wasn't going to be able to be there for the first bus pick-up of the year and would be leaving for work before her little eyes opened, so I got a few little goodies to leave for her for a little surprise when she woke up.  I wrapped them up in a little handmade bag and created a card to share a few thoughts and wishes for her first day.

She was thrilled!  I love that about her- she loves surprises, and surprising others, more than anyone I know!  I love to make her things because she appreciates them so greatly. 

Well, friends, I'm so glad to be back on my little blog and hope to chat with you all some more over the next few weeks.  Thanks for coming by!
