You guys, Smith, Ashby and Mades (my three Lovejoy ISD kiddos) all went back to school yesterday and today…
…our Miss Kensington goes back for her LAST FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
Oh my word, I blinked…
…and here we are.
I am SO excited for Kensington because I know she’s about to have a great year.
My mama heart thinks it’s all so bittersweet but goodness, she’s so excited which makes me so excited.
I’m off to do all the FIRST DAY things we love to do around here. It’s one of my traditions to take the first day of school and enjoy some “me time” after summer break. I didn’t do it yesterday, so I’m going to do it today. I have brunch plans with friends followed by my annual walk through Hobby Lobby to enjoy the pumpkins while sipping my coffee.
If you are a mama out there with young kiddos, let me encourage you to MAKE THE TRADITIONS. Turn this first day of school into a holiday at your house. Do special things, make festive food, be silly, be fun, and enjoy this time of year with your kiddos.
Thirteen years ago, I shared THIS POST…
…with all the photos and details about her FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN, and it feels like I wrote it yesterday. She requested that I make my St. Patrick’s Day Green Pancakes for her first day (a tradition we have continued every single year since!)…and today, thirteen years later, I’m going to make them for her for her last first day of school.
Make the memories, mamas. No matter how silly or small, I promise you, you will not regret it.
Happy (last!) First Day of School, Kensington Kate!
I’ll see you all back here tomorrow. xx
