What a roller coaster of emotions I’m feeling this morning. Summer is here, YAY, but Audrey graduated pre-K and it has me feeling a little upset knowing all day everyday school is to come. So bittersweet, but I’m proud of my little lady!

Today is Audrey’s last day in the preschool program at our school. It’s been 3 years, and while I know she has matured and is ready for Kinder, I can’t believe how quickly time flies. I will say, I am so happy we decided to red-shirt this year and was blessed to have a preschool program that was so flexible, accommodating and prepared her for the next step!

We had some beautiful weather this weekend and we made hay while the sun was shining! I am so sore from a crazy weekend of getting our garden beds ready to go!

Happy Monday! Hope you have an amazing Mother’s Day weekend! This weekend my Mom and I went to a local plant sale and I stopped up at a garden center – let’s just say I’m itching to start planting outside, but hard to do when you see SNOW AGAIN! Ugh, I think we will be in the clear after this weekend, but what a crazy May. We’ve been hot and we’ve been cold. We’ve seen some awesome sunshine but also had lots of rain and slushy snow – just your typical Cleveland weather!
Anyway, my plan is to share some monthly updates that give more detail on what is happening in the garden. So here’s what we got for the month of May! Spoiler: A LOT of prep work!

Back dating this post because hey, I didn’t get this done when I wanted, but who said I can’t post it now! No sense in sweating the small stuff. And this feeling is so fitting for this Motherhood Monday post. It is no coincidence that Mother’s Day is this weekend and it’s also Maternal Mental Health Awareness week, so what a perfect time to share some thoughts that have been on my mind that I’m sure we all suffer from!
We are busy, we want to do it all, we want a clean/perfect house, we want our kids to be learning at home. Let me preface by saying, I do suffer from OCD tendencies (my house is far from what you would expect a person with OCD house would look like). My OCD is one that builds up and erupts when things around me appear to look or feel like rock bottom in my own head – can anyone else relate?!
After chatting with my Mom and Mother in Law it occurred to me. Why do we (particularly myself) put so much unnecessary stress in our life?! Accepting the fact that you will fall short in some areas so many times in our lives (particularly during these toddler years) is something I need to understand as completely NORMAL.
