It’s been a year.
365 days filled with good and bad surprises.
And this Child? She’s resilient.
And this Mama? She’s learned more than she ever wanted about tween girls: the good, the bad and the lonely.
Onward to summer.
Onward to seventh grade.
Onward to I have absolutely no clue.
<3 <3 <3
My word, she looks so grown up! My youngest just turned 13 and I was both sad and overjoyed that I don’t have any more little kids. As the mom of a 21 year old and a 17 year old, I can tell you that once they hit 13, the years zoom by faster than I can keep up.
You’re going to be fine – keep the communication open and you’ll both be better for it. <3
Onward is the word I’ve been using for a while. Cheers to the two of you as you continue your journey. Onward indeed.
You don’t need any more clues than what you have — love, limits, roots, and wings.
Enjoy the ride….it’s a roller coaster for sure! (I’m glad mine is 31- and because I was a stern no-nonsense mom, she and I are still friends).
The secret is to make the most of each phase with lots of love.
