Kiddies off to Kindergarten

My oldest child started kindergarten today. A huge step... for mommy that is! She just came home from the hospital, and what's next? Driving a car?? Dating?? I'm not ready for this. Such sweet sorrow, watching your little daisy blossom.
She was completely fine and gave me a kiss and sent me on my way. I did not want to leave her classroom. Infact, I would still like to call her teacher and ask how much of her lunch she ate,does she miss me and has she made any friends? She is easily adaptable though and before we had even left the room had already made a friend at her table, and had located the bathroom, so I know she will be fine. Me? Not so much :(

Here she is in her uniform, cuddling one of her "friends" :

Here she is with her daddy and brother, in her new class, doing the robot, because apparently, this is what you do in school:

Cherish every day, because they fly by!

Majestic Maternity

During pregnancy it can be a harrowing experience to dress your new lovely lady lumps. So while I was pregnant I took to online inspiration(as I do for most things, and should probably read:The Shallows: What the Internet is doing to our Brains by Nicholas Carr, as there as probably a section on this phenomenon in there).
Here were some of my favorites to try as "go-to" outifts during the times in my life when I swelled (sometimes with pride, but mostly just with water retention):

When in doubt, look to the supermodels for pregnancy fashion. Or don't. You are also absolutely allowed to lay around in sweats all 9 months, but I found I felt less whale-ish if I at least put a little effort into it.

Love and baby-making,
