College is for Learning Right?

Posted by Dawn Motolese on 24th Jun 2017

So I always thought the next step after high school is college, period end of story. You already have your foundation from 12+ years of school now you have to build. Build your knowledge. Build your future. Build your life. Learn how to be an adult right?

With my oldest in her second year of college I’m realizing that perhaps college isn’t just for learning. College is a way to ease parents into the fact that their babies will not be around 24/7 and you won’t see them everyday. College is a way of easing parents into adulthood for their children....... and I don’t like it. Don’t get me wrong I am thrilled that my daughter is growing up to be decent, loving, hard working adult but I miss seeing her everyday and hearing her stories and laughing with her.

College isn’t just for learning....college is also a lesson for parents.

Try to enjoy every minute.

And Then It Hit Us.

Up until now cancer was something that other people had, I never thought it would get to my immediate family. I know that is a bit naive since it seems everyone on the planet is affected one way or another by this horrible disease that comes from who knows what. Is it diet soda, is it pesticides, is it smoking, [...]

You Learn Something New Everyday.

When you have children there are those times, especially with twins, when they seem to either constantly bicker or they constantly giggle. I know I’ve mentioned in a past blog that I never thought I would get irritated at hearing my kids giggle but sometimes I do have to ask them to stop. Mothers of multiples you [...]

And She's Off.......

We dropped our oldest off at college this weekend. I decided to make it a family event because I wanted the younger girls to see what this whole college thing was all about and see what they will be working toward for the next several years. I don’t know that I made the [...]
