I took my pre-teen back-to-school shopping and lived to tell the tale. Okay, that's a bit dramatic. But, really. Maddox starts middle school next week, and unlike all the other kids moving up together from the public school system, she is coming from a private school which basically means she knows about three people including the school counselor who helped us with her schedule. So, you can imagine that sweet girl is a bundle of nerves. And she's projecting those feelings on anything that . . .
A Girl Can Change Her Mind: Making It Official with Simple Business Cards
I've always believed in the mantra a girl has the right to change her mind. We aren't locked in to every choice we make (thank the Lord), and we get to shape our lives in the way that's best for the season we're in.

Simple Summer Suppers: Stone Fruit and Burrata Salad
