One of my favorite childhood memories is back to school shopping with my family. It was never just about the clothes. It was the times spent together before a new school year started. Now, as a mom to an amazing military family, those traditions matter even more because they follow us everywhere we've lived. This year, we made those memories at Tampa Premium Outlets. Watching Alexander light up over the perfect backpack and seeing Valentina pick out things she loved reminded me why these moments matter so much. I honestly can't believe how fast time has gone. It feels like just yesterday, Valentina was getting ready for her father-daughter dance and Alexander was heading to his very first day of daycare with a backpack that was bigger than him. Now she's starting middle school and he's about to start VPK. It's never just about back-to-school shopping. It's about creating memories we carry with us wherever life takes us.
