Welcome to Turn It Up Tuesday #101!

Time to start the party with us at Turn It Up Tuesday!

Oh, the summer is winding down and my boys are getting ready to go back to school. I am going thru so many emotions all at once. I’m proud that they are starting 3rd and 4th grade. But at the same time I am sad that they won’t be home during the day. Have your kids started school yet?

Last week was an amazing 100th week, and we’d like to thank each and every one of you for celebrating with us and embracing the new look and the new giveaway! And make sure to keep stopping by, linking up, and sharing your amazing posts with us here on Turn It Up Tuesday!
