But your blog commands to “be inspired” and I am, so I thought I would share. I wanted to thank you and your whole family. I found you and your family from monitoring what my daughter was watching on TV and YouTube and I ended up landing here and just loving your site. I was hoping I could make a request. Would you mind writing something about bullying? My daughter is being bullied at school and has been for three years. Some days the only thing that made her happy was watching Suoernatural…so literally you guys saved a thirteen year old…and I am so grateful. But I don’t know how to handle it as a mom and I am unsure how to advise her to keep her head up in a situation that I, as an adult, would have trouble adapting to. I value your opinion, as does she. Again…thank you…to all of you…for reminding my girl to always keep fighting 🙂

My last little one is off at college. Granted in the first few weeks I think she was home more than in her dorm, but I am fine with that. 🙂
I was so excited to see her off to college as we live in a small town and her big brother left quite an impression behind in their school. I was thrilled she was able to get out of that shadow and begin a life of individuality and purpose. She is a true warrior and wicked smart so I have no doubts that she will soar!
As her mom tho…. there have been a few days of deep sighs and standing in her doorway to try and remember everything I can. Today (30th of October) is a little bittersweet. Today she turns 19 and I am finding a little ache today. Hold those “littles” tight all – blink and they are grown.
Thanks,
Jenn (always Mom)
p.s. – Thank you for all your book recomendations – My library has me on speed dial for all the books I have on reserve. 🙂

An older friend of mine has an empty next. Every summer she buys school supplies and donates them to the school. The teachers are happy and she’s happy and it works. It might be something for you to consider.

I think it’s important to have these types of days to use as a “new beginning”. 🙂 I mean, why not have a day like new years throughout the year!

Back to school it’s not easy but we thinks about many things at this time I love this here in France it’s not like this but it’s so fun to share your experiences with your children 🙂 here we avoid to get cars to get our child to school I prefer to walk because the climate change we promote this or bikes.. it’s a new beginning to us parents sorry for my English I hope you understood…kisses and hugs from France enjoy your family I wish you a good September

P. S: I love your eyebrows in your younger self picture. ?⭐
