I was not ready for the first day of kindergarten, but my daughter sure was! Just like that our baby is a kindergartener, and I'd be lying if I told you there hasn't been a lump in my throat for the last week or so. It really is a happy and exciting day for all of us, but you know how hard it can be to see your baby grow up.

My Real Purpose for Blogging
There is so much to learn when it comes to blogging. I know that when I first began five years ago, I just thought I'd take some pretty pictures, write about decorating, and that would pretty much be it. #blessmyheart I just attended my fourth(!) Haven Blogging Conference in Atlanta, GA, and it was, as usual, amazing. I love meeting new bloggers, hanging out with my bestie-blogging friends, and taking in as much information as my brain can comprehend... There is just SO much to learn, you ...
