First Day of Kindergarten for Matthew and First Day of Preschool for Juju!

I was up late last night worrying for my first born!
He started kindergarten today, and I was worried about how he would handle it.
Luckily he did great!
It was also Juju's first day of preschool.
I can't believe how fast they are growing.
I am so lucky they have each other, and seem to adjust pretty well!

We are ready!

Our school.

Daddy calming nerves.

It's Ms. Natalie, Matthew's teacher from last year. So sweet!

Finding my cubby

More reassurance from Daddy.

Off to play! She's a pro!

Checked in on him later, and he was settled in.

A surprise waits for carpool!

It really was a great start to the year, and I am hopeful that we will have many more great days!

Julia's First Day of Dance!

Yesterday was one of those days that I really looked forward to!
Julia got to start a class just for her! So much extra curricular stuff has been geared towards Matthew.
It was nice to have something she could do just for her!
We got dressed, and packed our dance shoes in our special ballet box.

It was such a fun first! Pretty soon school will start, and we will have more firsts! Time flies!

Kitchen Herbs

I decided to plant some herbs in little pots to have in the kitchen.
I have been watching cooking shows, and noticed they had fresh herbs in their kitchens.
Anywho, I decided to find some small pots, and paint them white.
I found the pots at Hobby Lobby for under $4.
I found little dishes to collect the water at Lowes.
I think they help finish off the kitchen nicely!

When I get a chance, I would like to find cute markers. Here's to fresh herbs!

Super-Cute Bows!

I have been loving Lilly Pulitzer lately.
From the designs of the clothing to the prints on them.
It's just plain fun!
I found some cute bows on Etsy the other day, made out of Lilly fabric.
They just arrived today, and they are cuter in person!
I'm going to have a hard time sharing them with Julia!

Some Lilly prints, and Vineyard Vines inspired prints.

"Written in the Sun" print.

So cute and fun!

Small Town

Matthew's school has an event every year called Small Town.
It is a cute little mock set up of a town.
The kids are given money, and can spend it where they like.

Meeting the mayor of Small Town.

Meeting a fireman, and policemen.

Learning how to send a letter at the Post Office.

At the car wash.

Enjoying some ice cream.

At the bakery.

Getting a shave at the Barber shop.

This was for sure his favorite.

Juju loved the bubbles!

Juju getting her nails done at the beauty salon.

Admiring her fancy nails.

We didn't get a chance to visit every store, but we had a really good time. Can't wait for next year.

Valentine Decor

Today I hosted a Valentine Playgroup, and wanted to document some of the decor.
Valentine's Day was always so exciting for me as a kid.
I hope my kids love it as much as me!
