You are so fun. I love how detailed, generous, passionate, and friendly you are. I’m struggling like you with the milestones my kids are at right now with youngest graduating high school next month. My advice to you is to find the joy that your daughter is feeling now and use it as YOUR joy. This is exciting for her and we all know that once we have kids, we no longer have to ride the rides at Disneyland, we are happy to see our kids have the fun while we tend to the baby and keep an eye on the stroller.

My plants ALWAYS die (minus the like un-killable growing ferns haha) so I’m probably doing the light thing wrong too! We also have moved a lot os fake plants are my life!

Cute Mandi – I’m so glad to hear you are trying to stop and catch your breath ! And yes – your kids are growing up so fast and they will not be hanging on you forever ? so girl —- slow down and smell the roses ?- or whatever a rubber tree plant smells like ! You won’t spend eternity in the Merc – but you will spend it with your family – so give them some of your amazingly talented time and you won’t regret it ? ok so my Gramma Kathy rant is over – love you ? ( and that cute guy you let work there ?)

This is exactly why the dragon leaf plant I bought is absolutely dying in its dark corner. I’m going to move it today and start treating it as more of a friend… Even though I really wanted it for that exact space for styling.
I’ve been so mad at it for dying I haven’t moved it LOL… That’s not really helping anything though. Thank you for the wake-up call 🙂 and also… You deserve a mom break. Thank you for sharing 🙂

My oldest is leaving for college next week. I think it was harder for me her junior year than her senior year. Last year it was all about how much I would miss her and how the family wouldn’t be the same. This year I was able to remember a lot more how much I loved college and how I wanted that for her. Also how proud I am of the adult she has become. I think we all mourn our children growing older at different and unexpected times.

Reality hits us all. The fact is that all of us have moments in life where we have to step back, restart, rejuvenate and sometimes change our path. Keep on doing what you need to do for you. An empty bucket doesn’t quench anyone’s thirst.

I’m not a quote girl but this seemed appropriate considering – hang in there!
