The first day of school


by moi

My little girl started school today.  A monumental day in a child's life, and I am finding out in mine too....Weirdly, I feel more like a Mom now than I have since she was born....somehow "real" school denotes "real" parenting to me.  So I shed a tear or two about that this morning...but for the most part have held it together.  Patting myself on the back:)

Of course, I had homework for the first day...

The "tell us about your child" project.  This was what I came up with,  I made the photo kind of fuzzy, like an old photo (this wouldn't mean anything to anyone else, but it symbolizes Eliza's old soul, she is the most understanding child, somehow like she has done this before...)  The image just sums up this wonderful little girl of mine...and it is so poignant that she is looking into the ocean, the ocean of possibility, promise, and adventure.  What will she learn, who will she meet, what does this life have in store?

But please go slow, this past 5 years has flown by, can I PLEASE stop time.

Vintage Desks on the brain...

My baby girl starts kindergarten on Monday!  It is an exciting time in our house...and Eliza is the most excited of all.   She can't wait for homework!  She even thinks getting up early is going to be fun...(not so much for her love to sleep in mom:)  With all of this school talk,  it got me to thinking about the desks that I used when I started school, and what people are doing with them now.  Here are a few ideas.  I am a sucker for industrial chic, and I think an old school desk fits the bill.

I really like this idea.  


Isn't this kitchen great???  Loving the fridge.

This is where old desks go to wait for someone's next great decorating project....look at all of the colors...I am a bit inspired.  Maybe this is a project I will do, when I have all of this extra time on my hands when good ol' school starts...
