Tomorrow my fourth—and final—baby has his first day of preschool. 🥹
For the most part, I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for the last eight years. Even when my oldest started school, I always had a baby or toddler at home with me. Tomorrow will be the first time in what feels like forever that all FOUR of my babies will be in school.
And to be honest… I’m so sad about it.
Motherhood is such a crazy journey. We spend so much time hearing, “You need a break.” And some days, we desperately want one. But then the break finally comes, and you realize you’d give anything to go back in time. The days are long, but the years are so incredibly short.
As moms, we pour into everyone else’s cup—even when ours is empty. We show up because that’s what we have to do. Our babies are our world, and for so many years, everything revolves around them. Starting this business was a HUGE step for me. It meant finding something that was mine outside of being “Mom.” I’m still learning how to balance working full-time, growing a business, coordinating everyone’s insanely busy schedules and—most importantly—showing up for my kids physically, emotionally and mentally.
Tomorrow feels bittersweet. I knew this day would come. I just didn’t expect it to come this quickly.
So what exactly am I supposed to do with myself when all four kids are at school?!
Oh, I know… 😂
I’LL BE SELLING COFFEE & WAFFLES. ☕🧇
Come see me tomorrow at 📍5th Quarter Food Truck Park from 9:00–12:30! ⏰
Come visit me and let me make your morning a little sweeter!
And please excuse me if there’s a small puddle of tears behind the counter. 😭 I’ll just be overthinking whether my little guy is okay, if he misses me, if he ate his snack, if he’s jumping off tables, if he made a friend… you know, normal mom stuff. 🙈
And truly, thank you. Every customer who has become a friend, every person who supports this little dream of mine, and every order that somehow turns into a conversation and a story—you have no idea how much it means to me.
Tomorrow starts a new chapter for my baby boy and maybe, in a way, it starts a new chapter for his mama too ❤️
