Hello
Trying to find my way again after my babies have spread their wings. I have a lot of feelings to work through and weight to lose .. I hope this helps with both 🙏🏼❤️

    I sure felt that. Trying to find healthy and active things to do with my time. It's been ROUGH!

    It’s like going through a period of grief. Soon you’ll find things that fulfill you and you and your kids will find ways to keep in touch. Just give yourself time to feel the feels while not stagnating. Look for new and healthy recipes, get out and exercise in nature, find some things to do you didn’t get to do as much while you were raising kids. Life will still be enjoyable, just different. Sending a virtual hug.

    I'm not an empty nester, but as I recall, my mother received a lot of solace from trading the station wagon in for a new Mustang :D

    I ditched the Minivan for a Smart cabrio. I still love that little car. Ten more years and we’ll both qualify as antique, lol.

    Your mom sounds awesome.
