August used to be my favorite month of the year. August was all about me. My birthday. Back to school shopping, which meant new clothes, new shoes, and new school supplies. Yes, I have a love of new pens, pencils, and fancily designed folders. Ahhhh, the smell of fresh crayons. Now, well, not so much. You know why?? It's not about me anymore. Some days, don't we all just want it to be about us again, before kids. Don't get me wrong I love my children and would not change being a mom for anything, but this season really gets to me. Probably because second to clothes is school supplies.
Now, well August is not my favorite month, in fact probably fairly low on the list as it can be a real budget buster. But the real reason I don't, like August (aside from the fact that I've been celebrating my 29th birthday for a decade +/- now), it's not about me anymore. Some days, don't we all just want it to be about us, before cats, dogs, husbands, and kids? Don't get me wrong I love my children and would not change being a mom for anything, but this season really gets to me.
So, in honor of back to school, I think I will do a little back to school shopping just for me- I mean us. I can't wait to share the latest fashion finds...and perhaps a school supply or two will sneak onto our site as well. Happy back to school friends!
