And Then there was 1

 
 
Dear Diary,
 
I have been waiting for my house to become a bit quieter, the grocery bill to become lower, my sanity to come back to me a little bit...BUT, maybe I'm not!
 
 
Today was the big day, we woke up early, made sure everything was packed and ready, loaded the cars up and off we were to take my middle son to college. Oh yes, ladies and gents I did just say college, I know you all know where this is heading!
 
I was doing great, enjoyed the 2 hour car ride (had my T-tops off) and it was a beautiful day! We got there, of course he was on the 3rd floor. We arrived on campus and started unloading the cars, WOW did he have a lot of stuff. The men were working on putting together furniture and little odds and ends and myself and my sons grandma started putting clothes, food, little stuff away and doing a bit of decorating. All was still good and well. Once we were done my sons grandparents left and then it was just Cory, myself, my middle son and my youngest. We hung out for a while talking, went to a meeting about football, had dinner. It was really an awesome way to spend his first day on campus with him!
 
Now it comes time to leave, we each give him hugs and kisses of course, and each of us take a picture with him in his dorm, piece of cake! We then proceeded to drive him to the hall he had to be at before we left. He gets out of the car, I wave tell him I love him, see him walking up the sidewalk. 2 minutes down the road and the tears won't stop coming!
 
 
Finally I calm down and Cory lets out a big yell joking around "only 1 more to go" I then look back at my youngest son who I now see is in full blown tears! What happens next you may ask? My tears start flowing again! I calm down, enjoy the ride home, sit down to work on the blog, happen to look up and see his picture, what do I do? I start crying yet again!!!
 
Now for those of you that haven't had kids leave the nest, it is almost devastating. No matter where they are going or how happy you think it will be it just breaks your heart! My oldest son moved out last summer, he has been on his own for a year and its still strange not seeing him in the house, now today...that means I only have one left! I need to figure out a way to keep him from growing!!!
 
 
Go Muskies!!!

Natural Eyebrow Gel

  You guys know I love natural items, especially for my body. I like doing the research and blogging about it. I am for sure making this. My eyebrows are thinning and not shaping well. I love, love this recipe and it's only 5 ingredients!!!! WHY I LOVE THIS DIY It gives a light, natural tint to eyebrow hairs thanks to cocoa and (for darker hair) activated charcoal.

Great for sparse brows!  It’s suitable for all skin types.  It’s a snap to whip together.  It can be applied with a regular clean eyebrow or mascara brush (called a spoolie).  A little product goes a long way.  It’s only 5 ingredients and it makes 1 small jar.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
