Today my oldest starts her journey into Grade Four so here’s the obligatory Wordless Wednesday photo to commemorate the event.
Grade Four? How’d that happen?
While I’ll miss the busy yet lazy days of Summer, I think we all could use a little routine again. Wait, is it too early to start the countdown until I don’t have to make school lunches again? Too soon?
Also, I kind of had a huge back to school fail. What have I done?!

Parenting is so OVERemotional, no-one can argue with that. In February, Fisher-Price will be launching their OVERjoyed Campaign, celebrating the Real Joys of Motherhood. Launching soon, you’ll be able to share a photo with your ‘OVER___’ caption, marking a special moment of your journey. As a Fisher-Price Mom Ambassador, I’ll also be sharing my…
On Friday night, the girls and I had a very special time together. We went to Strawberry Shortcake: Follow Your Berry Own Beat! Excitement was high that entire day, my kids were literally jumping for joy and eager for showtime. They didn’t know what to expect for the show, yet knew they would see beloved friends from TV and in books.
Twas the night before the start of school, when all through the house, not a child was stirring … **reality check: they were but weren’t in bed. I kept hearing the thumps and giggles. What’s that book called again, about going the f to sleep? *sigh* There was only one thing left to do…
Have you seen the new Barbie Princess Power masked dolls yet? It’s the latest line in the vast and iconic Barbie doll collection, and it’s all about how every one of us is a superhero. Termed Be Super, it’s the recognition and celebration of the everyday superhero that lives within us all. As the mom…
Last month my oldest daughter turned 11. It was the first time she had a low-key birthday, spent ‘just hanging out’ with only a few friends. As per her request, there was no official party nor a cake with candles. Actually, it was a day much like any other, and for the first time I…
If there’s two things we know about kids, it’s that they have a knack for getting dirty and getting into everything. Worse yet, is when these two are combined. Whether it be that natural-borne magnetism to messes, or their insatiable urge to touch everything – the result is always left as evidence literally attached to them….
She’s lovely. Wishing her a great new school year!
Awhhh, she is adorable, hope she has a wonderful grade 4!
Aww! nice photo and good luck to her for Grade 4 😉
Have a tanfasticated week 😉
She is so your mini me! Hope she has a great school year!
Have a great first day back!

Oh my, this is how we find the years pass us by! Don’t start counting those days yet a Tammi – only count the minutes in each of the days till you hear how her day went… &*> YAM xx
Cute photo! I swear my parents never ever thought to take a photo of me when embarking on a new school year. I survived. LOL I love the way your generation is much more thoughtful, and …the pictures are more immediate now too. Man I sound OLD! ..well, I am.
Hope she had a great first day back at school!
I hope she has a wonderful year. It’s not too soon to start counting down. I already can’t wait until Summer. I didn’t get to spend enough time with my babies.

Gr. 4 already?! Geez, they are growing way too fast…
Bah ha ha yes, blame Pinterest! It is ALWAYS Pinterest’s fault in my house ha ha ha! Though twenty years from now you should be able to tease her about the way she always brought up the cake incident!
Yes, and I shall do just that, especially when she’s ordering one for her own kids. KARMA baby!!
😉
lovely pic and a lovely girl!
Thank you!!
🙂
Adorable. Happy back to school.
Thank you, she had a wonderful day!
Darling photo, the kids dont seem to mind going back to school!
I’m sure they need the break from me as much as I need a break from them!
🙂
She looks so cute! Hope she had a great first day.
Thank you Katy!!
My son started 4th grade today also! I agree – it is time to get back on a regular school schedule. I hope your daughter had a wonderful day!
Nice, YAY for 4th Grade!!!
She did have a great day, how was your son’s day at school today?
She looks ready. What a sweet smile!
Thanks Alissa, she was excited to see her friends again!
She looks beautiful for the first day of school! You must be so proud!
That I am Amber, I feel very blessed!
🙂
yes how did that happen so fast??? hope she has a fab school year!
Ai @ Sakura Haruka
Thank you – now here’s to hoping that Winter moves along just as fast!
🙂
Oh, she’s beautiful! I hope she loves 4th grade!
Thanks Lolli, she had a great first day! Tired, but it was great!
🙂
Awe, 1st days are great aren’t they?
It could be worse. Empty nest, how did that happen?

Very true, HUGS!!!
Time really passes very fast.. hope she enjoys her time in Grade 4
So fast, it’s crazy!
I feel like I am late to the party…everyone seems to be back in school! My boy will start Kinder on the 9th/10th…I am so nervous! Yikes 🙂
Good luck and enjoy the last few days of holidays!
Here is to another amazing year – for both her and YOU! 🙂
Thanks Annie, I’ll cheers to that!
🙂
Gorgeous little possum! We have only 2 weeks left in this term, before 2 weeks holiday, then the last term of school, before our big 8 week Christmas/Summer holiday. I’ve already started counting! 🙂
Ahhh, that would be nice. Can I just country hop to take advantage of all the holidays? please?
🙂
We’re starting preschool on Thursday! Eek!
Hope it went well today!!!
Hi Tammi (via Trish’s WW)
This year is the first my daughter has started school and it’s very hard!
I have two boys, younger, to go through it, hopefully I’ll be an old hand by then!
Emily 🙂
I’m sure you’ll be a pro by then, the first is always the hardest!!
Down under {In Australia} we don’t have summer holidays as such, only Christmas Holidays which go for about 6 weeks and then there are 2 week holidays three times a year – broken up through out the year.
I really like the idea of a “Summer Holiday” where you get to have time off in one big lot…..and yes Grade 4 – they sure do grow up way too fast. Hope she has a wonderful time – oh I so can’t stand making sandwiches!!!
I like the idea of many smaller ones I think. Takes the pressure off the Summer holidays and needing to squeeze it all in at once. Grass is greener, right?
They just grow up way too fast if you ask me 🙂
WAY TOO FAST!!!!
.. I sound like my Mother but I now know why!
The summers go way too fast don’t they? She looks great and ready!
She had a fantastic first day!
She looks ready and raring to go back!
Let’s hope this enthusiasm stays!
so cute! mine started yesterday :sniff sniff: how do they grow up so quickly?
Awe, hope it was a great day for all though. Chin up!!
My little guy started grade four too! So exciting!
Ahhh, another Grade 4. I think 3 was really tough, curriculum wise. Someone told me it was the ‘hardest’ of the Elementary years, would you agree?
Aww Tammi, I hear ya..my ‘BABY’ is turning 9 today and just started gr 4….but on the other hand by other ‘BABY’ is turning 13 next month and in gr 8…I am crying I tell ya..crying!! it goes TOOOOOOOO fast!

Ahhhhh, passing you a kleenex mama!!!!
🙁
Happy WW, thanks for the linky, I linked up! Your DD looks happy for the first day of school!
Thanks Tracy!
What a sweet pic! My daughter is in grade 4 as well. Time flies!
Sure does!!
I have one in 5th grade this year and I wonder every second how that happened. 🙂
Grade 5 .. that just seems a lot older than Grade 4 to me. Like, A lot.
Ahhh, more panic attacks!!!
So cute! But getting so big.
I would be counting down the days to holidays again!! But kids grow so fast already, it’s like wishing your life away, catch 22 🙂
So true!! I try not to do that but it’s almost unavoidable isn’t it?
She looks happy to be going that is a great way to start G4
What a darling! Great photo!
How fast time go by… Soon she will going to college.. sniff sniff
Sorry that I’m a day late… Thank you for linking to our Wordless Wednesday Hop
They grow way too fast. Hope she is enjoying her new school year.
Kids grow up way to fast. One day my girls were in elementary and the next day they were in their 20’s. It honestly goes by in a blink of an eye when you come to look back on it. Your daughter is beautiful, I’m sure she’ll have a great grade 4!
I remember Grade 4 as one of the best years in Elementary for me! Hope she has a wonderful year!
….we got to spend time together this summer….I was sad when school started. Could have used a couple more weeks.
Oh wow! Grade 4?! Isn’t it crazy how time flys? She’s growing into such a beautiful girl! Hope the school year is treating her well so far!
