I feel like it was just a few weeks ago that 
I was packing Halley's backpack and getting her 
uniform ready for the first day of school.

Now I am putting away the backpack and her outgrown uniforms.  
How can the school year already be over?
Now she is a few inches taller, 
has a bunch of new friends
and is beginning to read.  
I am simply amazed at how quickly life speeds by. 
 
It is my hope and plan this summer to enjoy having them home each day.

The messes, the chaos, the fighting, the love, the laughter, the snuggles.

I know many of the days will be crazy.
I will be a little crazy.  
But I am embracing the crazy, 
because I know all too well that I will miss it someday.

  
I just listed some fun new Pretty. Messy. flowers in the shop.
Perfect for the All-American days of summer.
Something about the look of frayed denim always makes me smile.
What summer picnic would be complete without a bandana?
You can find these and a bunch more in the shop.

Happy Summer!
Embrace the crazy.
