Back to School Looks Different this Year

🤝My daughter Ella and I are working on coordinating her Teenage Tuesday Columns with my Whinypaluza Wednesday blogs when we can.

📰She wrote an awesome column yesterday with back-to-school tips, so go find it. All of her columns and my blogs are at 🌐whinypaluza.com.

🧱I’m going to build on it and talk about my own pointers for going back to school and having a successful school year.

🤔This school year looks very different in my house.

🏫If you are following along with my family, we dropped off my son Max to college on August 18th. So far so good and he seems to be thriving in college as I had a feeling that he would.

🎭Every time that I get sad and miss him I remind myself that he is where we all want him to be. I have a deep pit of missing him every day, but I am also doing really well.

❤️‍🩹I am adjusting and moving along and also missing him. I can be ok and miss him at the same time. He is doing well and that is all that matters to me. Along with getting an occasional hug from him too!

😊Max is off at college as a freshman, Ella is a junior in high school and Lillie is in 8th grade in her last year of middle school.

🔄This is the first year that I have been ready for my girls to go back to school. It was the shortest summer ever and yet I was ready to get back to the routine.

📲Join me live tonight at 9PM on my personal Facebook page at 9PM ET as I talk about how this school year can be successful!
