So, to give the new school year a good send-off, I'm giving away at least three goodie boxes filled with very cool stuff. Wanna win one? Leave me a comment below! Ain't that easy?!
And, in honor of the Back-to-School giveaway, here is my kindergartner from a few weeks ago:
Look out, world. Here comes your next class clown.
Lunches are made, naptime bedding and backpacks are packed, everyone's ready. Except me and my heart. With each step we'll take on our way to his first day of kindergarten, my heart will break a little more that my boy is not a baby anymore. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it'll be when Makena and then Nadia take their turns.
Come on, guys! Stop it already! No more growing up allowed. I mean it!
My first visit here! Nice to meet you.

I feel you. My 1st baby just started kindergarten and everyday brings a host of new emotion. I've decided my little one is banned from birthdays. To get him to play along I will just have to buy him lots of presents all year long. :) LOL.

I have a son who is entering 7th grade! Agh! When did that happen? Fortunately, I get to enjoy every moment through homeschooling. I'll choose to ignore the hard times and remember only the precious ones!

I hate this time of year because the kids go back but I love the feeling of renewal it brings and the crispness of the air as the leaves turn colors. Happy Fall! And thanks for the giveaway.
