Sweet 16

Every year is an amazing year when you’re a parent to see the changes and growth from one season to the next as your child grows, but its the milestones you hit that really make you wonder where the hell all the time has gone.

It was only yesterday when I was refilling sippy cups with watered down apple juice and stocking my purse with snack bags of cheerios. Now I’m sitting in the passenger seat gripping the seatbelt as she changes lanes and sips on lattes.

Here is the breakdown of her whirlwind weekend (yeah weekend, I’m a TOTAL push over)

1. Homemade youtube Video of family and friends wishing you a Happy Birthday
2. Presentation of ring given to me at 16, now a family ring passed down to you
3. Trip to Tiffany’s. The YIN to your day and a plan of ours for years. Your choice.
4. Thrift Store trip.The Yang to your day and a fun one too!
5. Dubs, your friend of choice to spend the rest of the weekend with
6. Hair. Gorgeously styled and curled
