Sending your Child to College is like Sending your Heart Away

Sending your child away to college is hard y'all. 
It's like sending your heart away and it's hard not to worry
that you won't be there when they need you. 

So last year when my sweet girl left for college, 
I bought a bunch of cards, wrote in them, labeled them 
(For when you are sad, For when you are sick, 
For when you need a reminder you are loved, etc)
 and put them in a box tied with a bow. 
(Hobby Lobby has a great selection of cards 
that are perfect for this and don't cost a ton!)

My mama did this for me when I went away to Baylor too
and I remembered how much I loved them. 
Because as much as I loved college, 
there were times when I so missed my mama
and those cards were a sweet reminder of her. 

 I placed the box in Madison's drawers to find later. 
I wasn't sure if she read them but when we were 
unpacking her things in her new apartment last weekend, 
I saw the box. 

When she saw me holding the almost empty box- she asked. 
"You are going to write me some more cards, right?" 
So of course I did. 
And as I wrote in them today I thought of how much my mama 
would have loved me carrying on this tradition.

Do you or someone you know struggle with not using their phone while driving? 
Then this free app is for you! 
Drive BeeHive allows you to pair with another user as either their Sponsor or Driver. The Sponsor enters a reward and a total # of miles needed for the Driver to reach that reward. 
Before Driving the driver opens Drive BeeHive and goes on their way. A lock screen will appear on the phone and will count the driver's "Safe Miles". So long as the phone isn't used behind the wheel the driver will earn those miles for that trip - Use the phone and your miles are reset back to zero! Once the Driver reaches their goal, their sponsor will be notified to release their reward.

Here's a description of the book: 
Ever just wish the world would stop for a day so you could catch up?
No matter how hard women work or how much they accomplish in a day, there's lingering anxiety and guilt over what they didn't do. But do we really have more to do than the women who came before us? Maybe not.
In Taming the To-Do ListGlynnis Whitwer exposes a seismic shift in society: from one in which most of us were proactive to one in which we carry the burden of having to respond-- to every email, text, tweet, and message we receive. This creates a cycle where everyone else sets the priorities for our days rather than us directing our own lives. The result? We procrastinate, putting off the important stuff for later while we tend to the "urgent" stuff right now.
It's time to take back your schedule!
Taming the To-Do List addresses this significant change in how we manage our time and the issue of procrastination from a woman's point of view. It addresses the common household tasks many women put off, like doing housework and scheduling doctor's appointments, and moves on to the larger, more life-impacting delays of dreams and goals. Combining practical, easy-to-apply advice with solid research and biblical truth, this book is a compassionate yet challenging message of hope for those struggling to choose their best work over busy work.
I just signed up because boy do I need this!
