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

  • Life with you is certainly never boring! ❤️

Through every hard season and every joy, you’ve been right by my side.

I’m so thankful for the man and husband you are. You encourage me, push me, lead me and always serve our family. 

You are an amazing example of Christ’s love to us and I’m incredibly proud to call you mine.

You’re my very best friend and doing life with you is so fun. You always bring the smiles and the laughter.

I love the life we’ve built and I can’t wait to experience the rest of this life with you. I love you so much, Happy 15th Anniversary @kevinclarke15!
  • The older I get, the more I realize wellness doesn’t have to mean a complicated routine. 🤍#BarleansPartner

I’m focusing on simple habits that actually fit into my everyday life — morning walks, staying hydrated, and adding @Barleans Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil into my routine.

I love that it’s a liquid format, tastes great, and feels like an easy swap instead of adding another pill to my day. ✨

You can find Barlean’s at Walmart!🛒

  • Back-to-school shopping for a junior high girl is about so much more than checking supplies off a list. ✏️🎒✨ #pOpshelfPartner

As moms, we know it’s about helping our kids feel prepared, confident, and excited for a new school year.

Brooke and I found so many cute, affordable back-to-school finds at @popshelf — from school supplies and organization must-haves to accessories and fun extras.

I love that we could find everything in one stop, and at prices that let her pick things that fit her personality without blowing the budget. 🤍 Those little details really do make the first day feel a little more exciting.

Visit your local #pOpshelf for affordable, stylish finds that help your kids feel ready for a fresh start! 📚✨
