Abby senior pix.jpg

This seems impossible; my baby is a senior. It's amazing how time flies- when Abby was starting Kindergarten, I was getting my business established.  I remember how fast I would try to move during the hours she was gone (12:12 to 2:49 pm!) because I still wanted to spend the time she wasn't in school together. I feel so lucky that I was able to be sort of a hybrid stay-at-home mom/ home-based-business mom because I could work around (sometimes literally) my kids. Now my son is hundreds of miles away in college and my daughter is busy with her life more than she is hanging around the house, asking to go to the park. The hours I have available to work have expanded greatly and I still love the flexibility to stop work when necessary. But more than anything, I feel so truly grateful to have gotten to spend so much time around some wonderful people- I can hardly call them kids any more- and to have been able to watch them grow up. Time is a crazy thing- when it's a 2 1/2 hour Kindergarten "day" it can feel really productive if you get it together and make every minute count. But some how 17 years seems like the blink of an eye.
