Working Update: I have my three weeks of being back at work and Brooke being at daycare under my belt. I have to say, wow that was exhausting. I haven’t woken up this early in consecutive days since high school. But, we are starting to get into a little routine and I am thankful for that. I love routines. I would say that Brooke adjusted really well. She didn’t seem to be phased at all by the transition. Me however, have taken it hard a few days. Sometimes she is just so adorable in the mornings, smiling and playing, it makes it so hard to leave her. I practically count down the hours until I can pick her up some days. Overall, these past few weeks have gone really well though and I am feeling super blessed.

 

Sidenote: I absolutely love this dress! It is slightly more than I like to spend on a dress, so I am currently on the hunt for a similar one, but I might have to cave in or keep admiring it from afar.

    First, that dress is super cute!! I need to add some more dresses to my wardrobe. Second, I’m so glad your first few weeks of work have gone so smoothly! I worked as an infant/toddler teacher for a few years and those first few weeks away from mom and dad are usually so challenging. I’m glad she’s made the transition without too many problems! 🙂

      I know, I really like the dress but it is a bit more expensive than I would like. And thank you, we are hoping it stays smooth!

  • #Ad 💕@StickiRolls are all the craze right now. They’re cute bracelets with unique, collectable stickers.

The girls are hanging Sticki Books from their backpacks and using the stickers on all the things - 
think highlighters, notebooks, cups, etc. 🎀

I love that you can easily peel them off and stick them again - there’s no sticky residue. 

The bracelets make them easy to wear and share. Just pull, tear and share your stickers with friends.

The NEW BFF capsule is perfect for Easter Baskets too! Make sure to add #StickiRolls to your Walmart cart! 💜
