First Day of School!


Awwwww!  This picture is from the first day of school last year, and today is the first day of school for this year!

I am going to get my people dressed and ready for their big day, we’re going to eat all of our yummy back to school breakfast bites and then after I drop them off, I’m going to enjoy the rest of the day to myself.

It’s always such a bittersweet day to send my kiddos back to school, but this year, more than ever, I feel such a peace about each and every child.  I feel like they all have the right classes, the right teachers…I feel the most excited about this first day of school than I ever have before.  I’m sad that summer is officially over at our house, but I’m so pumped to see how this year will unfold for my 7th, 6th, 3rd and 1st graders.

Happy first day of school to many of you!!  Sending teachers, students and parents so much love today! xx

    I hope they all have the best year! We start in a few weeks and this school counselor can’t wait to see them all here in VA!

      YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I am giddy to get back to a normal schedule where I actually sit and work for hours in a row without being interrupted by cute children every 30 seconds 😉 .

    I hope your kids have the best first day of school! I just had to tell you, I went to my first Red Sox game last night. It was so fun and the stadium is beautiful. Glad they got the win! I’m in the Boston area for a travel nurse assignment and I’ve appreciated all your travel blogs on things to do around Boston. I’m currently planning a day trip to Nantucket!

    Hi Shay! I’m sending my firstborn to K in a few weeks after 4 years home with him full time and my mama heart is so heavy for so many reasons. Any advice?

    Awww Shay~~~they grow so quickly, don’t they!? Thanks for sharing a slice of your life. God lays you guys on my heart, and I continue to pray up here in Washington State! Someday you guys would come visit the Oregon coast, mainly Cannon Beach. Hang in there, Shay, He’s got you and your kiddos right in the palm of His hand!
