Honestly, I haven’t thought too much about BlogHer. At first, it was because I knew that it signaled the end of summer. Two days after returning from NYC, is “Back to School Night” at MaM’s little school.

Noiw I haven’t thought about it too much because there is so much more to think about.

Except that BlogHer is going to be an even more important experience for me now that I am unemployed (ok. that word is hard to type)

Grown in My Heart, as a collective, have been planning for BlogHer. Her are two links you’ll want to check out–the giveaway is open to anyone going to BlogHer, and I can’t wait to put names to faces at the luncheon!

If you are going or if you aren’t…..if you had 48 hrs in NYC, what would you do???

I remember details about MaM’s birth and placement like they were yesterday. I love reading the archives here, remembering  little details about life when she was so incredibly little.

I blinked and now she’s 4′ tall.

She’s lost two teeth.

She reads.

She writes.

She adds.

She’s starting Kindergarten in two short weeks.

Saturday we had an all-girl gymnastics celebration to commemorate this milestone. I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate her blossoming independence! *sob* *sigh*

When she was going to bed that night, she told me she was sad. When I asked why, she said, “I just don’t want my birthday to be over!” I don’t really want it to be over either!
