Off to a baby shower this morning, then out for my birthday dinner tonight. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
Junior-Senior banquet? Oh my! Another moment in a year filled with them, no doubt. How are you holding up, mama? 😉
And THANK YOU for sharing my post. That means so much to me. I have to say I cannot wait for summer #21 with my first baby! Bless you, Tracey!
As you know, having walked this road before me, it seems like every week has another milestone or “last time for…” in it!! But it’s all good, while a little teary and heart rending at the same time. Excited for the future while living in the moment – at least that’s where I strive to be!! Thank you for asking 🙂
Looking forward to summer #19 here, and encouraged by your words!! Hope your summer #21 is memorable in all the best ways!
Thanks so much for your kind encouragement and sharing my post! AND have a beautiful birthday celebration! God bless you!
Thank you so much!!
HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉💖
“From Summer #21 as a Mom, the First 18 Sure Don’t Feel Like They Were All I Got” – reading this made me SOOO HAPPY!!!
“When Your Home is No Longer the Center of Your Child’s World” was also sooo affirming right now 🥰
Thank you!! Had a nice dinner out with my husband in downtown Charleston!
Awww, where??? High Cotton was “our special date place” for YEARS!!!
Halls Chophouse! The food is always delicious, and the customer service is great. We usually have a gift card, which makes it nice since it is expensive. We’ve eaten at High Cotton a couple of times, and it’s really good, too!
Happy belated birthday! I forgot that your birthday is a week before mine!
I loved the post about weekly traditions. It seems like traditions have to be some big production, but they really don’t. A nice tradition is just something that everyone looks forward to, isn’t it?
I keep forgetting to tell you about a new author I found: Kristy Cambron. I’ve read two of her books, and they’re so good: The Lost Castle and The Ringmaster’s Wife.
Thank you for the birthday wishes! 🙂
I found Kristy Cambron some time last year, and flew through all of her books!! The sequel to The Lost Castle (Castle on the Rise) just came out recently. I have it downloaded to my Kindle, and hope to start reading it this week. Glad to know you enjoy her books as well!
