Time flys by! My son's first day of pre-k

Backstory: My son is 4 years old and will be turning 5 this year. He wasn't able to start pre-k last fall because he was really lazy on the potty training. I wasn't sure if he was going to be ready & I didn't enroll him on time.

Fast forward to today...

10:50am: I had to rush out of school when my class ended. Rushing to go meet my partner & son at his school.

I was nervous and anxious the entire morning. I can count the people I trust with my son in one hand. Leaving him with strangers was making me feel uneasy. But all that went away once we were in line waiting for his teacher. I could tell he was also nervous. Sitting on the box of wipes we brought in. Quietly and thoughtful. I wonder what was going through his mind!?!?!

(The school supplies list had a box of wipes listed. We usually buy a box with 5 packs for our home. & that's what I bought for them.)

11:30am Pre-K teachers finally show up. We walk with them to class and get ready to say our goodbyes. By the way, why do the teachers make us fill out the same forms we already filled out for the office staff???

I had to fill a form out fast, which took away from me watching my son's reactions etc... I'm glad he didn't cry because I would have been crying too!

11:50 Walking out of the school. Nervous... & very curious. I want to know every detail!!!

Can't wait to pick him up and hear all about his new friends.

Let me know your experience with your children's first day of school. I'd love to hear all about it. Thank you for reading my thoughts!

Xoxo,

Getting comfortable in my own skin...

This year I will be turning 30!!! Where and how that happened? I have no idea,,, What I do know, is that it has taken me a very long time to accept myself. As a matter of fact, I'm currently still working on it. Through the years I have struggled with learning to love myself. Never completely content with my appearance. Whether it was my teeth, face, features, body. You name it! In the past I have even contemplated getting surgery. What stopped me? The money of course! As well as the scary stories told by friends. Which often times they hear from others. Postpartum, I suffered from weight gain. It took me years to loose the weight. Even then, my body is not perfect. Does that define me? Do my looks define me? Of course NOT! I know that; However that doesn't change the fact that I obsess over my weight, and constantly weigh myself. My point with all this rambling is, that it's never too late to learn to LOVE ...

Play! By Sephora September box...

This is a really late post/review for my Play! By Sephora box. I apologize but I have been swamped. School & life have been getting in the way. Adulting... amirite?(insert side eye) My first box arrived September 16. The second box arrived October 17. (I will be uploading the October box in a separate post) September box review: I was excited to open it, even though it's not an actual mystery box. (I also saw many posts spoiling the box contents) My favorite product is the perfume sample (of course, since I'm currently obsessed with perfume samples) check my searching for the perfect scent post here . The Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumnizing Fiber Gel is also something fun for me to try. Since my eyebrows are light & thin. This is definitely a product I could be interested on in the future. All in all, I was content with the box. Although I'm starting to think that I may only keep the subscription for 2 more months. I'm not entirely sure yet. We shal...

Florals for spring, groundbreaking!

Spring break means spring has arrived. (& that my son got a week off from school) <help!> T o celebrate and to get some much needed adult time, I went out for dinner with friends. I also wanted to secretly take my new purse "out to town". I mean, what better way to complete an outfit, than with a "spring-y" bag. I paired this beautiful top with jeans and nude ankle strap low block heels. (Also, I previously wore this top for my son's 5th birthday party ). The top can be worn off the shoulders or as a loser relaxed shoulder style. (As previously worn) It features bell sleeves and is a perfect transitional top. These shoes are slowly becoming one of my fave pair. I'm a big fan of the ankle strap heel look, and the fact that these have a low block heel make me very happy! I also love that the heel features a cork look. Yellow is such a fun color for spring. It will brighten up your look and day. My top is a ...
