everything is more fun with a manicure.

...and your daughter.

It's true.
A set of pretty nails makes everything more fun - typing, folding clothes, reading a book.
Always better.
- and even better a manicure with your daughter. :)

Quinn and I had a Mommy/Quinny date night.
A new preschool year is starting this week and it seemed like a good opportunity for some quality time.  It is not far from my mind that this will be my last year of time at home with Quinn. - and don't get me started because I can't handle it - BUT I'm also super excited about all the things to come for this girl.  Because I know this girl is going to do amazing things...SHE is an amazing.

I'm not sure when my baby turned into this gorgeous little lady...seriously.  Time - slow down!

Quinn's first professional manicure!  Such a special treat for the two of us.
It was so fun to see Quinn handle herself with in this setting, as sweet as pie :)  She LOVED the massage, and asked many questions each time the nail technician grabbed a new tool or started something new "What is that for?"  "What are we going to do now?"  So glad she felt she could speak up though and was very polite, instead of sitting back and being nervous about a new experience.  So proud of my girl!  She picked out a pinky/purple color and got a flower design on both of her thumbs.  She will be all set for the first day of school!


After our manicure, she selected Noodles & Co. for our dinner.  If you haven't tried their garlic bread, do - NOW!
Loved that it was just the two of us at dinner and we could spend so much time just about Quinny.

After dinner, we headed to Kohl's with a giftcard for back to school shopping and Quinn picked out a couple outfits (with a little guidance :).  We also had fun not rushing and wandering the store, and letting quinn push the cart!

After shopping - it was time for a treat!  Our local favorite ice cream shop it was.


After ice cream, I asked Quinn "Do you want to go anywhere else honey?"
To which she replied "Yes"  paused for a moment and said "Hobby Lobby".
Be still my heart - this girl loves her mama and is the sweetest thing in the world to think of others favorites too. And we have just a little in common with our love for crafting and decorating. :)

So - to Hobby Lobby it was!  We just wandered and Quinn was excited to sit in the shopping cart (since Andie always takes that spot) so that worked out perfectly.  We had fun looking at all the new things.  We are regular visitors and it had been over a month!  That is a loooooong time for us.  A couple weeks of vacation will do that.
We tried hard not to buy anything - and we did good.  But I did let Quinn pick out a new hairbow for her first day of school!

Quinny - I love our dates so much!  They are the best!
Thank you for being you my love.
