I can't believe it is that time of year yet again; and this year, I will have two little hands to walk in by my side. After much debate, the decision was made to enroll the youngest two days a week to see how she would interact with other little ones her age and explore without myself right by her side. My oldest, Charlotte, absolutely loved school last year, so this year she will attend five days a week. Wow, what will I do to occupy this newfound freedom? I am sure I will clean, cook and shop in peace; however, I will miss my tiny sidekicks. My only wish is that they learn as much as possible, make lasting friendships and have the best year.

The love I have for the girls in smocked clothing runs deep and heirloom pieces they can pass down to future generations for "big" moments. Back to school, meet the teacher, first year of preschool, etc. all fit into that category in my book. When I first ordered from Cecil & Lou (years ago) I knew this would be a top contender for those special moments. They might have some of the cutest smocked, monogram and holiday options on the market. If you haven't shopped with them or their other brand, Eliza James Kids, you need to be.

 

Today only, August 13th, 2018, they are running a 1 DAY ONLY SALE ... 40% off all in stock items on both sites mentioned above. Run on over their and stock up on some items for next season or a gift for someone special, etc. I know some items I have got my eye on. :)
