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

  • Bear hug in a mug! 🧸🤎 Such a fun and thoughtful personalized Christmas gift idea that’s easy to put together!

Perfect for teachers, friends, coworkers, neighbors, or anyone who could use a little holiday cheer. 🎄

Would you make one of these? Who would you give it to?

  • Some Sam’s Club finds are just too good to wait until you get home to try! 😂🤎

I found Simply More Cocoa Brownie Flavored Walnuts at Sam’s Club, and the rich, chocolatey brownie flavor with that satisfying crunch makes them such a good snack. I love adding them to yogurt for an easy snack that feels like a little treat without the extra effort!

They’re made with simple, high-quality ingredients and are a good source of ALA Omega-3. Definitely adding these to my list of favorite Sam’s Club snack finds!
