DITL : Started the day extra early knowing it was going to be a big one… slow morning with my quiet time, prayers, and of course my coffee (had to pick a special “mom” mug for this day 🤍), then squeezed in a quick run before heading to Learning Land. After school, it was a quick change, pack a little bag (pajamas included), and off to Auburn. We walked downtown, met up with family, and had the sweetest dinner at Botanic before heading to the ring ceremony… and I don’t know how to explain it other than it all felt a little like a landslide—time moving faster than I can hold onto it. Watching my boys as juniors, so close to the next chapter, made me realize how quickly these days go. Some moments of this season feel easy, some feel tender, but all of them feel meaningful. Late drive home, straight into pajamas, tired eyes today but the fullest heart… just trying to hold onto every second!!!

I have been waiting for these target red striped pants to be online and today is our lucky day… They are online and pair perfectly with this nautical top from Walmart… Wearing a size 2 in the pants. Size extra small and a sweater. These pants are so good.
