Next year, in January, my last baby goes to school. Not only will this event be quite the milestone for him, but it will also be quite a momentous occasion for me! And I dare say I'll be more upset than he will about the prospects of attending school! However, for the longest time, he has been content to wave goodbye to his siblings in the morning, as they ride the bus to school and happily come back home with me. This situation has clearly changed in the last few weeks. He is confident and ready to go to school. He does a lot of 'practising' while at home and of course, now invents homework to complete along side his brothers and sister after they arrive back home, in the afternoon.

Today I have used the new Tiny Tots collection to document his learning process. The Alphabet Soup patterned paper is ideal! To further enhance my story, I've included a short video of my boy doing his 'homework' via a QR code at the bottom of the layout. Careful as to not obscure the details of the code, I've surrounded it with stickers from the Tiny Tots Trinkets and Treasure & Text sticker sheets. Finally, to transform this new collection into a school themed layout, I've added a McIntosh Crochet Heart with a small leaf, to repeat the apple motif found below.

I hope you get a chance to check out all the inspiration over at Bella Blvd this week!! Thanks for visiting today...x
