This morning we sent our littlest off to pre-school. Be loving, calm, reassuring and do not drag out the good-bye. The principal and teacher prepped me well so the drop-off went incredibly smoothly.
“Mommy loves you and I’ll be back to pick you up later.”
“You come back? Get Mei Mei?”
I nod. You say OK. We give each other hugs, a quick kiss and then off you go. Just like that.
Now I’m back home, sitting at my desk and I’m finding it hard to concentrate on work because the house is eerily still. And too quiet. Who knew that silence could be such a distraction? So now I’ve got both Billie Holiday and HGTV playing in the background and hoping that this ambient noise will help me get back into the swing of things.
I’ve got three new products in my shop today.
First is a 12×12 quick page featuring a chalkboard background and minimalist white accents.
Gallery Album No. 1 is a beautiful collection of layered templates featuring open space and a mix of black chalkboard backgrounds and crisp clean white backgrounds – the perfect backdrop to showcase your most cherished photographs. Included in this kit are 9 layered templates that you can mix and match to fit your project needs.
Gallery Frames No. 4 is a set of hand drawn frames and stamps.

How stinkin cute is she?! Does she call herself Mei Mei? That’s adorable! 🙂
time is really fast! she’s so cute with he backpack! and I, too, can’t concentrate when it is too quiet. I need a little noise…
She’s so incredibly cute . I dread that goodbye so much . Was she home with you until now ?
Yes, she was home with me. I dreaded it too, I think I’m having a harder time adjusting than she is.
Hey! I just wanted to share my calendar…

Take care
Oh my, your photos are so lovely. Thank you so much for sharing!
She is the cutest! And good job with the goodbye. My little girl will be going to preschool in the fall and I am going to be a hot mess. I’m going to be the one that doesn’t want to leave her. I hope you are able to get used to the quiet. 🙂
