Good Luck Jackie

with one comment

Today is the start of Finals for Miss Jackie.

Senior year is 2/3 over. Wow. I remember her first day of Kinder , and driving her to Middle School, and the first time she had homework in second grade. I remember play groups and feeding ducks, sewing dresses with her and years and years of Girl Scout meetings.

I am amazed to think that this time next year she will almost be done with her first year of college.

She's wearing her thinking cap ...


I am not amazed that she is smart, sweet, and such a nice person. She always has been.

Today is Spanish – “Ugg”, she says when I ask her about the teacher, the class and does she want to watch Plaza Sesamo with Darla and pretend it is studying for her test.

I know she doesn’t need luck. she is smart and she has worked for this success – but what am I supposed to say?

Darla Needs a New Diaper Bag .... or, look, a bag I finally want to own

I want this!Imagine this in black with white swirls… the one she has now has stains from bottles opening and spilling – and this is oil cloth.
Ginger Cross-Body-The Gigi Hill Collections
Product # [GinCB]

I am NOT a purse person – but a this could double as a diaper bag and a purse when I have to pretend I am a real girl (I am a real girl, but not very girly – and I am just fine with that!)

Anyway – so should I get this for my birthday?
My friend Becky is selling it – and she has my wish list (*HINT HINT*)

I could not get Darla to willingly surrender the Taco Lita sauce. That’s my girl!
