The Art of Friendship: Painting Smiles on Faces

By

There’s something special about childhood friendships. Watching my daughter and her best friend blossom over the years from kindergarten to fourth grade is no exception. Yesterday, my daughter was super excited to celebrate her best friend’s 10th birthday.

I’m so glad Quinn was included in her friend’s intimate painting party, especially since they will be in different classes this year. Watching them paint together with the other children in attendance, chat and giggle definitely painted a smile on my face. What a wonderful way to close out summer break.

All the best,

Miniature Golf is a Hole in One!

By

As we age, our firsts become few and far between. This certainly is the case in watching my ten year old daughter grow up. Today, Quinn not only experienced her first time playing miniature golf but her first time getting a hole in one.

I’m so glad that I caught her in action because the look of excitement on her face was reminiscent of how excited I was when she walked or talked for the first time.

With the 18 holes, I was barely on par and did get a little frustrated with myself and the ball at times, but none of that mattered because I witnessed the joy Quinn felt and had a great time with my family.

All the best,

Ten Years of Friendship

By

It’s hard to believe that my daughter is ten, let alone that she formed a friendship as a baby and had the opportunity to celebrate her friend’s tenth birthday party today.

Ten Years of Friendship

Of course, Quinn’s bond with Arya was formed as a result of the friendship I formed a few years prior, but I’m so glad they (along with Arya’s younger sisters) all enjoy each other.

Though we live in different towns, watching the both of them grow up into beautiful, bright young ladies makes me so proud. Before we know it, they’ll officially be teens. 😅

All the best,

Local Fun at the Strawberry Festival

By

I just love when I stumble across a local, family friendly event, and this weekend it was the Strawberry Festival. There were some cool pop-up shops with strawberry themes, a lot of samples to try out, live music and a photo opportunity.

I’m glad Quinn wanted to go and that Zack, our toy poodle had a great time at this pet friendly event. Looking forward to checking it out again next year!

All the best,

Proud of My Little Violinist

By

Learning to play an instrument, especially the violin 🎻 is no easy feat for most, especially learning to play in unison with others. But after months of hard work and occasionally nudging Quinn to practice 😅, she did an exceptional job. She was a part of three solos and performed like a true musician. I’m so proud of Quinn, her classmates and fellow fourth graders from the neighboring schools. 🤗

All the best,

Tanya
