Follow That Spark
Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to take the time today to just sit down and reflect on all that Kaitlyn's Kloset was, is, and will become. So grab your coffee, snuggle under a blanket, and get cozy as we walk down memory lane together for the next few minutes.

Past, Present, Future
Here is a little past, present, and future for all of you Kaitlyn’s Kloset members. I thought it would be fun to take a little trip down memory lane, especially for those of you who weren't here in the beginning, as well as tell you guys what my goals are for the future!

Girls, Find Someone That Treats You Right
Someone who makes your heart flutter and makes your tummy turn. Someone who doesn’t call you “hot” or “sexy” all the time and instead calls you “beautiful” and “gorgeous”. Someone who will hold your hand in public and not be ashamed. Someone who laughs at your jokes even when they aren’t funny (but let’s be real, they’re always funny and they just doesn’t get your humor)....

A Year of Changes
I never thought one year ago I would be where I was today, heck even six months ago I never would have thought I would be here. One year ago today I was a senior in high school, and I was taking a full college course load online through the University of Northwestern. I was fully engrossed in my school life, and the thought of college was the only thing on my mind...

2017
I started my senior year of high school not knowing what my life would look like come 2017. 2017 was the year I had thought about my whole life. It was the year I would graduate high school. Thirteen plus years of schooling all led up to this one year. And here it is….. 2017.

To the Woman at Hy-Vee...
I saw you struggling to push your walker up to the lane, a red basket piled with groceries balancing carefully on the seat. I saw the pained look in your eyes as I asked you how you were doing. "Not well. I pushed it too far today. I have a cast on my foot and did too much walking." I told her I would just come around and take her groceries for her, as she didn't have the strength to even try and lift that bright red basket.

My Momma's Hand
I lay here next to my mom in bed, holding her hand and thinking about how much has gone on in the last week and a half. After I think she is asleep I let go of her hand and get up to use the restroom, but she wakes up and asks where I'm going. I quietly tell her I am just going to the bathroom. She looks at me with her exhausted eyes and then says ever so quietly, "Please come back." As a couple tears well in my eyes I tell her, "I promise I will." Momma, I will never leave you.

So You Want to Date My Daughter...
I’m convinced that the amount she has cost us over her lifetime is somewhere in the Rembrant/Michelangeo range. Together, her father and I created this prized possession. She was our first love. Treat her like the one-of-a-kind piece of art that she is. Never forget how amazing she truly is.

Thoughts From Kaitlyn's Mama
Sometimes, my heart is so swollen; drippy and overflowing with joy. I am certain it may explode at this very moment in time. As I'm writing this, I can hardly get the words out fast enough - my mind working faster than my fingers can type.

Sidewalk Chalk
Last night I was outside, enjoying the beautiful day, while I watched Ashley grab the chalk. For a 13-year-old, she still loves her inner-child, and on top of that, she loves art. I asked her what she was going to draw, and she simply replied with "I don't know yet". Since Easter is Sunday, I told her to draw something that represented Easter.
