Wordless Wednesday: Sleepovers and Letting Go

A few nights ago, my daughter had her first sleepover. Other than the two whirlwind nights I spend in the hospital when her brother was born, I've never been apart from her for the night. So, while it was difficult for me to let me to let her spend the night away from me, I knew she was in good hands. After all, she was at my parents house.  Literally down the street.  And I knew it was an experience she needed to have.  I needed to have it, too.



While I weep for the loss of each new stage in her life -yearning to hold on to even the smallest pieces of my "little" girl, I can't help but feel excitement.  I have nothing but fond memories of spending the night at my grandparents houses, and I want nothing more than for her to build such memories with the people she loves as well.

Happy Wednesday, y'all!

Keep on saving!  :o)

    How old is your daughter? Out of all the people I do feel safe with (letting her sleep over) is the grandparents. Mainly becuase they love them like you do! #wehope

    Yes, this is a stage of letting go. I am sure you baby girl had a great time.

    yeah...I had a week where my youngest had a sleepover and my oldest slept in a dorm for the first time at the college he'll attend in the fall--part of his orientation. my heart is still in my throat.

Ditching the Sponge

Ditching the Sponge This summer I accomplished something I once thought unthinkable: I gave up the sponge.  It was a gripping addiction, harder to kick than a nasty nicotine habit.   ...a habit that had the ability to spar k the silliest of arguments amongst even the best of   roomies.  Right, SwimBikeMom ?  :P  But once again, I digress; that's a blog for another day. Perhaps a tad  OCD, I was one of *those* people who had a sponge designated for various parts of the kitchen: one for the floor, one for the counters, and another one for dishes.  I knew for quite some time that sponges were a breeding ground for all things disgusting; however, I was not keen on the idea of using paper towels, or other disposable products -- I had  to find a GREEN alternative to sponges.
