Since they don't listen, I have had to get much better about chronicling their (our) lives and cherishing every single moment. Hallmark sent me a few of their new back-to-school items to check out including this Pics ‘N’ Props School Days Activity Kit with a cool chalkboard with inserts for each grade and some back-to-school themed greeting cards.

This is so cute! I love Hallmark!
I love the chalkboard idea! I always take pics of my kids on the first day of school but I never label pictures and at this point cant remember what year they were taken!
What cute pictures. I agree they grow so quickly that’s why I am such a picture junkie myself!
Love the chalkboard idea for writing down the grades. The font is pretty too.
Too cute. I love their back to school pictures. Love your little one’s blue ring.
Those chalkboard pics are pretty great. I don’t think my mom ever took first day of school pics, but I can’t remember.
really love the chalkboards! I can see you using them over and over again!
Isn’t it crazy how fast times goes by. Great pictures, btw!

LOVE that chalkboard!! (and my girls are going into gr 4 and gr 8! *faints*)
Such great ways to know what grade they were in like in 20 years from now. Congrats on getting the 1st grader ready to follow older sibs.

They look so happy to be grown up. Ground them immediately.
They grow so fast. Love the pics and love the signs!!

I wish I knew about those signs before mine went. I made up my own bootleg ones! They do indeed grow so fast.
Oh I so need that kit!!! My hand writing is horrible. Your first day of school pics are gorgeous!
Those are so cool, and your kids all took a great picture! I’ll have to keep these in mind. Luckily I still have a few years left.
I love the chalkboards! Great idea! My kids won’t stop growing either!!
What a fun way to document each start of back to school.
Your children are beautiful and I love how you captured each one. That chalk board is awesome and since it has inserts, you can use it year after year, right? So cool!
Great photos! I also love the chalkboard idea. Sooo pretty. My kids haven’t even started school yet!
They look so happy to head back to school
Those are too cute
Goodness, they have gotten so much bigger? More grown up? It happens way too fast.
The chalkboard sign is super cute, too.
Those are really cute!!
Hi, I’m here from Loving Life’s Simplicities. I love the chalkboards! I had thought I was going to draw on a chalkboard for our first day, but alas I was unprepared as usual so we went with white crayon on black construction paper! 😉
What great pictures. I love the plaques noting the grades. How wonderful!
Love the chalkboards! I have two in highschool this year, which doesn’t seem possible.
So cute! I hope they has a wonderful first day!
Aw! Such great back to school pictures!

I have a daughter going into 1st as well (also one going into 4 year old kindergarten). I can’t believe it!!
Cute pictures!

SO cute! I hope they had a great first day!
