The 5 Best Things About the First Day of School

1. The anticipation of the first day causes me to plan early... which means a smooth morning and a great start to staying on schedule.
2. Two words: Photo op.
3. Ella and Mommy time.
4. Getting not only the laundry finished in one morning but also having enough me time during Ella's nap to get on the tread mill AND shower all before 11 am.
5. Seeing the smile on my preschooler's face that tells me that she is a well adjusted little girl ready to learn and meet new friends.
