First Day of School SY 2015-2016

I was looking at this photo earlier at my phone and it makes me sad that my kids have grown up a lot! I am so grateful and blessed  that I get to be a stay-at-home-mom.  It might not be a cloud nine everyday (you know what I mean right, lol) but it's worth every second I spend my time with them.  

oday is there first day of school and as I prepared their breakfast, U wanted to cry because I felt a very strong emotion  that I couldn't  explain.  I thought that as they grow older, it would be easier for me to  send them to school but no! It doesn't get any easier at all.  The only consolation I have is seeing their smiles  and  their excitement of going back to school.  

 They never really cried when I sent them to Kindergarten on the first day but I did!  I don't cry now when I get back home but still hard  for me to see them  go on the first day.  Today is half day and they have free dress day.  Tomorrow will be the start of a full day at school and wearing uniforms.

 Anyway, we went to school early today to avoid the rush of so many  students pouring in.  We brought all their supplies last Friday when we  registered  so it was an easy day today.  I can't believe my son is now in third frade and my daughter is in middle school.  Ahhhh time really flies!

My daughter  woke up so early and made this  note for her teacher.

As I tyoed this, my heart is heavy but at the same time  I am excited for their new adventures in learning.  Talking about mixed emotions eh?  I don't know, maybe I am just too attached to my kids that I have this separation anxiety everytime they go.

In ten years, we only left these two to a caregiver ince when we attended a Navy Bal few years ago.  Ut was really hard for me being away from them and it was just  for few hours.  I don't think I will be able to take it if we will be sparated for  weeks or even days,  Ih boym I better stop before tears  flood my keyboard.  Have a great  day everyone!

First Day of School for SY 2014-2015

Today is the first day of school. I am glad that my husband is off because the kids always look forward for both of us to send them off. Since it is the first day, they are allowed free dress today. Uniforms will be worn starting tomorrow.  The funny thing was, hubby and I set our alarm clock to 6:30 but the kids woke up at 6 am lol. They are so excited to go back to school! I am sure that this excitement will start to wear  out  as son as the  homework pours in.

Our second grader is ready to rock.   I can't believe my little boy is growing up to fast!

I see some changes with our daughter in the past couple of months.  She is becoming more conscious of how she  looks now.  She fixes her own hair now which I am thankful because  she doesn't like it when I do it.  According to her, it hurts but I don't let her go anywhere with a messy hair so it is a relief for both of us now that she  knows how to do her hair.

Our fourth grader is still the littlest among the class but she think she's big already. It makes me sad to see my babies grow up so fast. I feel like they are  slipping off my hands.   Few days ago, I was very calm and said "Glad I don't have anxiety anymore in sending them to school" but last night, I felt this  funny feeling again of  making me want to cry and that's because they are going back to school. I thought I passed that stage already but obviously not lol.

I hope that they both do good this year in their classes and I pray that every  student will be safe from any harm. May God bless them and the teachers too!

Personalized Lunchboxes

I did not tell my  kids that I got them a new  lunch boxes so when the package arrived, I asked them to open it up.  They were very happy and excited to see that they have new lunch boxes this year.  Adding to the  excitement is the fact that  the lunchboxes has their  names on it, yay!  Thanks to "I See Me!" for these beautiful personalized lunchboxes!

I received two lunchboxes to review but I will write about  my son's lunchbox at my food blog.  I really love the way this looks, I love the butterfly design and I love the fact that there's not only one name but in three different  sides.  

My daughter was grinning from ear to ear when she saw hers because she love butterflies!  I can't wait to start making their lunches again on the days that they don't like what the school is serving on particular days.  I would rather  prepare their food everyday than pay $2.50 per meal but sometimes, they want to eat the same food with other kids  in school so I let them choose what  menu they like.

Reading is part of   the activities that I set for my  kids when they got off from school and so I entered to the "Summer Reading Sweepstakes" sweepstakes that I See Me is sponsoring! My kids would be so thrilled if  I get to  win the Grand prize which is a a $250 Visa Gift Card and 5 Personalized Books!  I am keeping my fingers crossed! Aside the from the grand prize, they are also giving a personalized coloring book to  25 Runners Up.  So make sure to enter the sweepstakes before it ends on 8/31. You can enter here.

What other  cool stuff does I See Me  has to offer for Back To School?  Well, not only they offer  personalized lunchboxes but they also has puzzles, coloring books, placemats,  stickers and growth charts! They have something for everyone for  every occasion!  Their products would really make great gifts that I am sure every child would surely love to have.  If you are like me who has  kids  that love personalized stuff like these,  like and follow I See Me on their  social network  such as Facebook, Twitter,  Pinterest, and  Instagram.  

Below are some  fun photos  of my daughter  pretending to go to school on the first day.  That's actually the dress she plan on wearing on Monday lol.

Thank you very much I See Me!!
