A couple months ago, I shared my craft room reveal. And while I have used it a bit...Baby Girl put it to the test this summer!!! She is on a crafting mission. New pad, blank walls...#sheisapaintingdemon.
Hubby walked upstairs earlier and when he came back downstairs, turned to me and said, "I have a blog post for you." Uh-oh. He said, "take a picture of the craft room and title the post, Like Mother Like Daughter." Seriously, you had better be talkin about the crafting going on and not the mess! LOL

My posts will be a bit sporadic in the coming days. We are packing, driving (12 hours people!), unpacking, saying goodbyes, hanging in Austin, and then heading home in a matter of days. However, I will try to keep all updated via Instagram (simplylkjblog). Okay...now I need stock in Kleenex! Whoever said dropping your child off for their 2nd year was easier LIED!!!!
However, I am sooo thankful to have my wonderful empty nest blog friends to commiserate with me over the next few weeks. Seriously girls...next year we need to plan our own conference for the 3rd or last weekend of August to
Just got back from Kansas this afternoon after dropping off #1 and I am still spontaneously bursting into tears! I am better today but last night I was a basket case. It was not a good idea to be alone in a hotel room....LOL...normally I consider being alone a luxury in my crazy household!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
Next year will be the dreaded senior year for me to get through - I will need some help with that! Try to have some fun with your daughter in the midst of all the packing :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that!! Best of luck to you BOTH!!!
ReplyDeleteLauren.... I love your craft room. I probably told you that before but it's worth mentioning a second time...OMG...your daughter is as clever as her mama. How cute!!! I wish Austin was closer. We have to meet in person someday. Safe travels and hopefully cooler temps for you in Austin. It's only 90 here in Dallas! Can't wait to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you. My oldest is 25. It was hard when she moved out of the house. I would be an empty nester in a few years as my younger daughter is starting her sophomore year of high school. But, crazy as it may be, we had #3 6.5 yrs ago. He is starting 1st grade. I am telling you, sending him back to school this year is just as hard as him starting school was last year. I can't imagine sending him off to college or him moving out! I am really going to miss my kids. I love the summers. It is the only time for good quality time with them. Middle child spends so much time holed up in her room with a boat load of homework during the school year. She works hard for her good grades.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels!
Aww good luck with the dropping off Lauren,I know it is not easy but you can look forward and plan for the next holiday!

Wow, great craft room. How special your Baby girl put it to good use. Sometimes we do make a mess, however in the end, it is cleaned up.
ReplyDeleteI know it's difficult to see your Baby girl go off to college again. She is all grown up. I see a very special bond between your daughter and yourself. Be proud! xo Linda
