The Perfect Day! (And some new stuff in the shop)

These last few weeks have been really trying for me. Going back to work away from the peanut has been hard. I've cried many times and have constantly wondered why I can't be one of the lucky Momma's out there that get to stay home with their littles. Not only was that lying on my shoulders but work itself has been very difficult different this year with a lot to do and starting out with 25 kindergarteners is a challenge in itself.  Then this weekend I was reminded why I am a working mom. God has really been showing me things these last couple of weeks and knowing that I can rely on him is what gets me through. 


Yes, I am a working Mom that is blessed with a job that helps support my family, my little peanut, our lives together. I get many holiday breaks and summer vacations to enjoy with them and for this I am thankful.


Today was one of those blessed days off where all 3 of us got to spend the day together. It was perfect.


(WARNING* You're about to see a lot of pictures, but if you hang out till the end, there will be a special gift :) 

Little A will be 7 months on Friday, but we decided to celebrate today!

The weather was beautiful and Autumn is definitely in the air.

I've been working very hard this past couple of weeks to add new things to the shop. And because I love you guys so much enter the word "Autumn" in the coupon code  for 10% off!

Summer's End

For as long as I can remember, I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. Of course when I was younger I thought, a job where I get summers off, I think so :)  Funny thing is I have been teaching for 5 years now and this is the first summer I decided to stay home.  Unlike every other summer, this summer was different. This summer wasn't about me, but about my now 6 month old little peanut.

I know it sounds so cliche when you hear parents talking about their little and how much they change your life, especially for those who haven't become parents yet. The truth is, she not only has changed my life for the better, but she has inspired me in ways I never knew was possible.

This summer I have spent everyday with her. We've played, shopped, read books, sing songs,  learned to sit up and now crawl, and explore the world around us. It's amazing how she looks at things. I only wish I could look at things the way she does. Starting next week I will be going back to work. Not quite full time yet, but still not spending the whole day with her everyday.  I'm so grateful for everyday I've had this summer.

To My Arbor (My Inspiration),  Mommy loves you so much! I will never forget our first summer together and although you wont remember it down the road, I know in my heart that because of you, this will be one of the best summers of my life!

My etsy shop is now open. Hope you all love the items as much as I have loved making them! Free Giveaway will be coming soon, so become a follower to see when it happens.

Much Love,

Holly
