My Jenna is 6, she is a princess and I love her!

I love my Jenna girl and when she kept bugging me to try out her new beauty kit last night I said ok ok. Keep in mind it was a long day of prep work even with the wonderful help from my mom and daughter Alicia. The house was finally quiet and just the two of us sat at the table and went through her beauty kit one item at a time. Lip gloss, nail polish, fake nails, pony tails and clips, princess toe separator, earings, bracelet, body stickers and body glitter spray. It sounds like a lot but it probably only took about 30 minutes. I was tired but did this for my Jenna, cause that's what a mom does. It really surprised me how just 30 minutes with my daughter made her soooooo happy! She felt and looked like a princess. She was so proud of how she looked. I am very fortunate to be able to be with my children as a stay at home mom but even if I was working the one on one time, even a small amount like 30 minutes can really make a difference in your child's life. I read somewhere that children are raised on love and praise. I think we tend to forget that sometimes. 
I do feel that making time for those special moments is something that I learned from my mother. By the time I went to kindergarten I could knit, sew and crochet. All because I wanted to do what my mom did and she loved me enough to spent the time to show me how. I learned many things from my mom and I try to pass that on to my kids. 
I hope that the tradition passes to the next generation. I can see, when my daughter Alicia has the patience that she too can spend that quality time with her little sisters. Maybe when she is a mom one day that quality will really shine through. 
So getting back to today - My Jenna is 6, she is a princess and I love her!

Jenna is 6 today!
