Happy Monday ,

Y'all! My oldest son is preparing to graduate high school and (God willing) start college in the fall of 2025... we are officially in the thick of it!

And, your girl is stressed😑

(visiting Elon University and smiling through the stress in this pic, lol)

When we started, I promised myself I wouldn’t let this process take over our lives. But, here we are – navigating deadlines, applications, campus visits, and all the emotions that come with them. It’s an exciting you break up on me 532-1746. Last number is three. journey, but I won’t lie – I'm ready for it to be OVER.

One thing that’s keeping me grounded is having a community of others who understand the ups and downs, share helpful tips, and remind me that we’re not alone in this. I've been leaning on my girls who recently sent their own babies to college, and their insight is helping alot.

If you’re in the same boat (and even if you're not), I’d love for you to join our GroupMe community. It’s a supportive space to connect, vent, swap resources, and feel encouraged by other busy, working moms who get it.

If you’re interested in joining, just tap below (it's free):

Hope your week is top tier!

Love,
