Its back to school again for the kiddos and at first I was so emotional about it.  My little boy starting school just made it kick in that hes not a baby anymore.  As most of you moms know, when your kids start school, whether it be pre-k or kindergarten...with mine it was kindergarten, they change a bit.  Their personalities, behavior, maturity level, it all changes.  I remember when my little girl started kindergarten. Taking her the first day and holding her hand, both of us so nervous.  She asked, basically begged me, to stay with her all day.  My daughter had never left my side before...ever!  So, comforting her by telling her mommy thinks school is awesome and how she would get to meet other girls her age and make friends and learn so many new things, made her feel better.  I also drew a heart on her hand with a red sharpy marker and told her if she ever got scared, nervous, or sad in any way, to look at that heart and put her hand on it. That that was mommy and I would make her feel better.  And it worked.  After that first day, I would take her to school and she let go of my hand when we walked to the classroom.  When we got in her class, I would wave bye and asked if she was ok and she would say " yeah mom, with a big smile on her face" and went and played with her new best friend.  I think I might have needed the heart on my hand that day.
      So it was hard for me knowing what was going to happen with my little boy the day he started.  And it did, same way it did with his sister.  Its been a few days now and the anxieties Ive had and emotions I felt are slowly disappearing and Im now feeling highly motivated to focus on me.  I havent had "me" time since I was 16 years old.  So its good, right?  This blog was created as a hobby, a passion of mine, a way to express myself and get involved in the beauty community.  I hope you enjoy these pics of my precious kiddos as do I and feel free to explore my blog, as I am constantly adding new content throughout the days ahead.  Thanks for sharing this new journey with me.  If you have any questions or comments, as always, drop me a line and I will get back to each and everyone of you as soon as I can.

Also, My mom came to visit yesterday and we hadnt seen her in months.  It was so nice catching up with her and seeing the kids so excited when they got off the school bus Gammy was there to pick them up.  ;)  Heres a pic of my beautiful momma and my kiddos.
