Hi Friends,
The moving out chaos at our house is just about over. My two oldest are out the door and off to grad school and second year of college. They are settled in and busy getting their school year underway.Now its time to clean their rooms and find the floor underneath the discards of items they didn’t take with them…I know I don’t have to do this, but seeing that clean room everytime I go past their open doors just makes me feel better. And maybe, they’ll find time to pop in for a few days or over a weekend to see their mom!
My son too went back to school already; he started high school and has decided he might as well stay since he’s made a few friends. Does the school year always start this early in August? (more…)

I’m still enjoying summer and all it has to offer, (especially enjoying the back yard porch after dinner) and yet, it’s time to make a change and plunge into new and exciting projects.
Over the weekend we spent time getting ready for our college sophomore and grad student to move to new apartments later this week. Both girls are ready to re-enter their worlds after a summer at home recharging and renewing. While I’m a bit melancholy about their leaving, I know we’ve done our job raising them to be strong women leading independent lives. After all, isn’t that our jobs as mothers? (more…)
