Happy Monday, folks!
Today marks my first day back in the office after a few days away. I used my time enjoying my adult children visiting and reluctantly, nursing a lingering case of bronchitis.
This time last year I was beaming because of my youngest child’s graduation from college, yet I was a little ambivalent about her decision to remain in New Orleans. But as parents, we raise our children to explore the world and be great, right?! But I couldn’t deny the large lump in my throat and racing heartbeat when she revealed her plans in the Spring of 2016. I fought back sounding emotional over the phone, and proclaimed, “I understand”.
When my children and I get together it is always an amazing time, but I just can’t get over the emotions I feel each time we part ways. It’s like I’m dropping them off at college all over again, but there won’t be anymore summer breaks spent at home. They reside out of state and are living their lives as responsible adults. Sometimes I wonder how my mother did it. Clearly, I’m just having a moment and I am sure that it’ll take some time for me to adjust. I will adjust, but my love for them will never. They are my children, forever.
Me and my kiddos! Brad and Ashleigh.

MY STYLE
This floral dress is very pretty, with it’s cold shoulder design. Perfect for a sunny day, it is light and airy and falls nicely on my form. I love the cold shoulder designs that are very popular these days. They are perfect for ladies like me who don’t have the most toned arms, but want to show a little! Ha!
I paired my dress with pink caged stilettos for that splash of color.
Until next time, peace and blessings!
I love y’all!
