The thought of helping my daughter get ready for her first prom is so exciting. I hope she feels the same way. As we discuss what she needs vs. what she wants, it becomes very clear that this is going to be on the expensive side. On top of the prom, we are helping out my son with his wedding as his bride to be parents are deceased. This is a sad thing. So, my husband and I are helping them as much as we can financially. Today, I will be picking up the wedding garter and the wedding favors. Tomorrow, my prom daughter and I will be going to pick up some discount prom favors, some personalized prom favors for her best friends and a prom garter. I think that’s enough for this week. I want them to enjoy each of their special events as they are (supposed) to only come once in a life time. Funny, I’ve heard some mothers say that their son or daughter have gone to the prom 3 years in a row. And, of course, no one ever gets married more than once. Okay now I am being sarcastic. Shopping, here we come!
