A Letter To My Four Year Old Daughter

Dear Brooke,

Oh my sweet girl, this year went by way too fast and I cannot believe we have a four year old. This year, we watched you grow and learn so much. You are so incredibly smart. You are constantly asking questions, are incredibly kind, and have such a sweet heart. You love your family so much and like trips to Chick-fil-a, Sonic, and Target. You are so silly and fun.

You love to learn and go to school. You can do puzzles quickly without our help and are starting to recognize all your letters and numbers. You love reading and playing pretend. You are so excited to go to Pre-K next year and are just growing up so fast.

Every day I feel like your kindness grows. You think of others, love everyone so much and are just so sweet. You are constantly asking us questions and by constant, I mean constant. Your mind never stops. You are so curious about the world and want to know how everything works. You love to sing worship songs and watch disney movies. You love playing outside and have an opinion about your outfits big time. You are a ball of energy and sunshine. You are so incredibly fun.

I’ll never forget the laughter that fills our house from your giggles, your love of Target, shopping trips with mommy, bible class and Chickfila. You pray with your brother every night, then pray for all your family and friends. Your heart is so lovable. Playing with your Daddy is one of your favorite things and you love cuddling with mommy in the mornings. You and your brother are best friends and partners in crime. You have so much fun together and you are such a good big sister. 

We are heading into 4 and I cannot believe in one short year you will be going into Kindergarten. I just want to soak in every moment of having you home with me most days. I know there will be so many changes this year and I just want to embrace them all and cherish every second. Every day with you is such a gift. You are truly loved and treasured sweet girl. Happy 4th Birthday!!

I love you SO MUCH,

Mommy

  • #ad Christmas Teacher Gift Idea 🎄I love being able to run in @walmart and grab gift cards for the kids teachers.

They have such a wide variety that you can pick one that’s personalized to them! Then to jazz it up a little, I added the gift card to a snack box with goodies. 

It turned out so cute and it was so easy to make! Such a fun gift card gift idea 🎁 

Make sure to grab your gift cards at #walmart or Walmart.com!

  • #ad 🎄The holidays mean festive gatherings, cozy movie nights, and our favorite, cookie baking! 🍪 Thankfully, we have the @BISSELLclean PowerClean Furfinder to help with all the messes. It works so well.

❤️COMMENT “shop” for the link! It’s a cordless, self standing stick vacuum and my favorite feature, by far, is the bright headlights. They are seriously so bright, so you can easily spot hidden debris.

It also has a tangle-free brush roll and a 200w motor that delivers a powerful suction. And, it converts into a handheld.

The snap on the fur finder tool helps you effectively remove up to 95% of embedded pet hair. Plus, the crevice tool is great for hard to reach places like in between couch cushions. 

✨YOU WANT THIS!✨ BISSELL helps me handle the mess, so I can enjoy this special time with my family during the holiday season. 🎄
