Yesss!!! I was so upset when I found out they’re out of print 😩

My daughter graduated from the UArts. She has a ba in illustration. What you can do is get a big portfolio for her finished pieces. It’s a safe place for her most important pieces. She can learn to sort them out. It will help with the overwhelming amount of art they make. Also have her keep an eye on stuff. Paints that are dry toss out etc. teach her don’t put it down, put it away. It sticks with kids. It’s like Water Wednesday for plants lol. Simple tricks lol. You did awesome in her room. Her set up is fantastic.

A storage bin for under the bed is a great idea! The Magic Tree House was the first series that Kinsley binge read lol. It was intended to be bedtime stories but she got so excited about them that she would just read them alone constantly. That’s when I introduced her to The Amazing Days if Abby Hayes & those became her bedtime stories. We’ve completed all of those series, as well as The Giver quartet, and now we’re reading Harry Potter together. ❤️

@@lovinglifeasmegan Awww, Megan, I'm sorry to hear that. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ That makes sense you'd feel this way about Kinsley hitting double digits. I hadn't thought of it like that because my parents are still so much a part of my life in my 30s. Things have changed a bit like I stay up watching tv/movies or playing games with my husband but I always used to do that with my dad. It's kind of an adjustment when you don't live in the same house. I cherish the way it used to be and definitely feel nostalgic about it. I'm blessed to be close with my family members although it can include being involved in their stresses/messes too. Hopefully your daughters will always want you close and a part of their lives because you treat them with respect and value/celebrate their individuality. Supporting and letting them blossom into the unique individuals they're meant to be rather than impressing your will upon or ordering them to be a certain way makes a big difference. You seem to be doing a great job! ❤️
