we are in west virginia visiting family and this is what a nine year old Lily looks like
the last time we swam in this pond surrounded by the purple irises she was much smaller
seeing her get older and bigger so fast pulls on my mama heart strings like no other

Lily
today she will start baking camp for the week
last week however, she enjoyed the first week out of school without routines by waking up after 9am every morning
on this particular morning she actually woke up at 11am
happy monday friends!
around here
last saturday at our friend’s end of the year party, there was an altercation between Lily and a classmate where personal boundaries were pushed and disrespected
parents had to get involved and a he said/she said situation is never easy
phone calls and texts were exchanged throughout the week, feelings and emotions were high but eventually on wednesday Lily and her classmate met up (with parental supervision) and Lily got to share her truth, her feelings and got her power back
it’s important more than ever to talk to our children about respect and consent
so proud of our girl for being strong, standing her ground, facing someone who scared and disrespected her and for speaking her truth
happy friday friends

school is out for summer!
having some down time in her room before heading out to the second end of the year celebration this weekend
happy monday friends!
around here. so long third grade
well friends, here we are
today is the last day of third grade
although i am so ready for summer break, i kind of wish third grade could go on forever
it’s been the most wonderful school year so far
Lily had the most amazing teacher/class and my heart is breaking already for when she will have to say goodbye later today
there will be many tears for sure (there always are)
Lily has grown so much this school year
not just in height (4″) but emotionally, artistically, academically… all with such confidence
she has risen all year!
we are so very proud of her
now if only time could just take it a bit easier on me
happy friday and happy weekend friends!
