Favorite Things

Happy Friday! Gulp. This is it. The last weekend before school starts. Preparation-wise, we’re ready. Summer school work is completed. All school supplies have been purchased, back-to-school clothes are washed, folded and put away. School lunches have been tested and approved by my kiddos (in case you missed it, here is a link to school lunch ideas). Emotionally, we’re not ready. Actually, I take that back. My children are ready. It’s time for them to get back into the classroom and onto a predictable schedule.

Me, I’m not ready. I’m going to miss the morning snuggles in the “big bed.” I’m going to miss having breakfast at noon. I’m going to miss the excitement of the last-minute trips to anywhere that sounded like fun. I’m going to miss spending the afternoon at the beach. But most of all, I am going to miss my children during the day. I know that they are in great care and taking in a whole new year of learning and growing, but this Mom likes hanging out with her babes.

Next week I will be giving away tickets to the Flavour Wine Festival and sharing what’s in my suitcase for our family vacation to Lake George. Until then, have a wonderful weekend xo
