for my baby to start school...... Tomorrow is Millie 5th birthday and I'm not ready for her to walk in those school gates and really start to grow up...... this time 5 years ago she wasn't even born and I had no idea that Wednesday 12 December at 12.36 (lunchtime) was the start of an amazing new career for me - being a mum and all the amazing experiences and absolute overwhelming feeling of love I have for her that comes with that role and even though I know she will still need me for a little while yet I can't help but feel she is ready to gain just that little bit more independance. Don't get me wrong, I wish all my children the ability to be fair, positive, self sufficent individuals who will make a difference no matter how small - but I also want them to still be my babies who never discover how tough life can and will be, can't have both though I know! I am so glad that I gave up work full time to spend the last couple of years with Millie and to be the 'kindy' Mum - and be an active part of her life and now it's time to let her venture into the world and see what she thinks, make new friends, experience new things and perhaps try those wings out of hers....... I don't think I will be ever ready somehow!!!
We had her birthday party in the weekend at a cafe called The Sticky Beak - the owner Heather dresses up like a witch called Bad Apple - it was absolutely fab and Millie had the best time - they played games such as Musical Chairs, did the limbo, decorated their own cupcakes and she is the most amazing chef - according to Millie the best bit was when Bad Apple chased them through the garden
Bad Apple and Millie
Witches Fingers made out of lollie cake
Musical Chairs
The Cake - it was covered in chocolate ganache!
So for tomorrow Millie - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, we love you very much!!!!
Sneak peeks for Januarys kit went up today - the colours are yummo and some new products in the kit for you all to play with - last month sold out (I admit we were not prepared for the response we got so apologies to those of you who missed out)!

Happy 5th Birthday Millie. Hope you enjoy our first day at school. Looks like Millie had a fab party and those fingers look cool.
Meg I know how you are feeling being the first baby to go off to school. Sorry to say it will be the same for the second and I'm sure the 3rd as well. Like the look of Jan kit Meg....can't wait.
Happy Birthday, Millie!! I can only imagine how bittersweet this day must be for you Meg! I will be going through it in less than 5 months with Ethan (sniff, sniff)!! I'm sure she'll have a great time at school though.
The birthday party looked like it was a lot of fun!!
Happy 5th Birthday Millie. Wow thats an awesome birthday cake, and her day at the sticky beak looked like fun, love those finger cakes.....
Oh Wow - looks like Millie had a fab day!
You always find the 1st one to go the hardest - but it doesnt get much easier - lol. I was more clingy than Jess when she started!!
But Millie is just going to love school and I cant wait to see her in her uniform - she will look so smart!
Wow,
Looks like a lot of fun ... you are going to have a ball scrapping those pics. Loving the fingers ... lol. Millie looked all grown up today in her school uniform. Hang in there Mum - your little girl is growing up ...
Hope the day went well Meg.
I remember being so much more upset than Connor. He was quite happy to be there.
I was the one with tears as I walked back to the Car! I look at him now and wish he would slow down with the growing up!
Looks like Millie had a great party Meg! Taigy starts first day next year...I can't believe how fast 5 years can go!!
