      You rock!! @Glue Guns n Roses ! .. #aMothersLove 💗Such close family ties are nearing a rare breed, at least sometimes it seems.. Such Close commitments to family 1-st have taken a backseat (or even 3-rd seats :( ) For many families & homes as there are wants, friends, habits, etc.. & sometimes just a family's basic needs :( ...
      May God bless ur heart & home & any others reading this! You not only made memories your children will cherish forever darlin, you demonstrated the importance of home, family, Love, and God's fatherly Love for His children, which is The Greatest of these (The fruits of the Spirit...) 🤗
      💕So much More important than anything else!💕
      God Bless you all.. prayers for you all thru this adjustment!! & that God will look after & protect ur daughter,,, & you have a while yet... But one day... when the time is right.. God will remind your children of the wonderful job you did while raising them, and all that you taught will come back to them, (or be in them!!) so when they are old enough that (it's their time) to start their family... & Oh my!! Pkz Trust me on this hun!! one of God's greatest gifts that our children bless us with, is- ( 1- returning to the training & wisdom we imparted) and (2-...... GRANDCHILDREN!💕💞🥰🤟🤗😘🫶❤️‍🔥🌹🩷😍💞💝) Amazing Love!! OMGoodness!! when that time comes!! The Love from the deepest part of our hearts, like that unexplainable Love that poured out when we had our babies,.,. Well it Literally ..... 💞Doubles!💞
      it's a Love shock explosion! Lol,..Kinda Like (deja Vu PLUS so much instant L💗VE, Love, Loveee!💗... ur heart feels like it might burst!... and Lil confetti hearts might float out from it! 💞..🤣... My best description!! 😍🥰😅., but..YA!!! 🤗💕🤗💕🤗 #TrueLove 💗 #FamilyFirst

      I remember when our sons went off to join the navy. Saying goodbye to them after they finished "boot camp" was the most wrenching moment of my life. I cannot understand how any parent could give away a single second of their childhoods when it skids by so fast.

      if americans' didnt trade out traditional family structures for nuclear families then our daughters' would be at home, we'd be getting geared up for marriage celebrations instead crying about sending them away...
      and then right around the corner from that we'd all be involved with interacting with the new family she's marrying into & would all be planning for baby showers.
      there would be no such thing as empty nest syndrome, our homes would be growing with grandbabies & all of the celebrations & excitement that entails.

    I’m just repeating what everyone else has said and feels! 1st, I’d be emotional too, you’re NOT crazy. While you were spending quality time making memories, I was FINALLY breaking free of a very toxic 22 year marriage (narcissist/alcoholic). Now? I get to FINALLY start making memories with my adult son w/ Aspergers, and I’m just as emotional. Life is short, they grow fast, I lost 2 decades hoping for what you are blessed to have, but now I’m blessed for what was necessary in my life! Not enough parents care to take that time you did. Sorry this got long, but your love and devotion shows in your photos and you should be proud of the gift of time & attention you’ve given your girl, and that you’ve taught her about what’s important in life. We’ve MISSED you, I missed you, (so did my son, he knows you as the lady with the awesome red hair). Welcome back, wishing you continued success on TH-cam…you were my first DIYer I watched that inspired me to decide to try crafting now that I’m free to do so. It’s time to actually start using all the stuff I’ve been buying to start crafting. Ok, I’m done…sorry…but I’m emotional you’re finally back! I knew you were an awesome person on AND off TH-cam! 💕🙏my son is smiling too…kids ROCK!👩‍👦

    I discovered a Pinterest group that makes monthly seasonally themed college care packages for college students . So I’m going to try that. I’ll bet you could do something amazing with a decorated care package.

    So glad to see you back, and CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR DAUGHTER!!! Allowing the children to leave the nest is hard, but seeing what they become is so rewarding!! I was lucky enough to have a job that allowed me to participate in the school activities throughout their high school years. When the last one graduated, I was lost. I had to relearn how to live for myself and stop circulating around the kids.
    And Meaghan, I cried often watching them accomplish things they set out to do. SO GLAD YOU ARE SHARING YOUR CREATIVITY WITH US AGAIN!! ( hope I spelled your name correctly)

    The metallic spray on the inside really takes the pumpkin up a few dozen notches. It gives it a more high end energy.
    I love this channel because the projects are all solid, basic designs with enormous customization value, and tend to be more functional than some you see. I’m still not over the channels I found last year where the crafts were basically all: buy dollar store wood, paint it, glue it, put a cricut sticker on it. Kind over the “put words on it and it’s home decor” fad.

      if americans' didnt trade out traditional family structures for nuclear families then our daughters' would be at home, we'd be getting geared up for marriage celebrations instead crying about sending them away...
      and then right around the corner from that we'd all be involved with interacting with the new family she's marrying into & would all be planning for baby showers.
      there would be no such thing as empty nest syndrome, our homes would be growing with grandbabies & all of the celebrations & excitement that entails.

    Bless your heart I think every mother gets emotional when their child graduates high school. It’s just a mile stone not only for the child but for the parent as well I have a friend that never cries never the day her son graduated high school. She called me sobbing she just could not believe how emotional she had gotten, but it is something every parent goes through because you have accomplished something as well as your child you get to share and that accomplishment that joy that excitement. Then when they go off to college, you feel like a piece of you has been torn away. Trust me, you will have bad days. Missing your child but you will also have good days finding yourself.

    Girl I am crying along with you! I am so glad you took time to enjoy those moments with your family making memories are the most important! It is a bitter sweet moment when you realize your kids are no long a "kid" my baby girl is 24 and such an amazing adult. I have cried every time. We have 11 kids, so a lot of tears have been shed.
    You truly have been missed and so excited to have you back!
    Blessings to you Megan.

    I’m so thankful for you and your videos. You are one of my top 5 favorite DIYers. You are so down to earth, and the fact that you put family as a priority just proves that you’re an amazing person and mother. Congrats to your daughter on this new chapter, and sending love and strength your way for the adjustment period for you and your family. Also, as a Texan, if I ever see you at Dollar Tree, I promise to fan girl out. Ha ha. Just kidding.

Now he’s living in another state since graduating from college and he’s engaged to get married to his college sweetheart. Time goes by so fast. You’re entitled to enjoy every minute. Congratulations to your daughter and to all of you ❤️🙏🏻❤️

I have a 13 year old daughter and can’t imagine her going off to college, so I’m sure it’s been rough. Although I missed seeing your crafts 😉, I’m happy for you for taking the time off! Good mama! Look forward to watching all you have to share. I’ll be making some these fall crafts for sure 😊

      Next year I’ll be losing my two oldest. I’m already not loving the idea. Then I’ll have to do it again three more times. I don’t know how people do this without feeling like they’re losing part of themselves. I thought I would be ready, but I’m so not.

I also love how real your emotions are and that you shared that with us. ❤ Congratulations to your daughter for ranking 7th! As a Mom I always feel our kids are a testament to their parents. You clearly raised a smart and intelligent young woman. Blessings to her on an amazing school year! Looking forward to seeing more great DIY videos!

    You, sweetheart, are definitely NOT crazy! You did what EVERY mom should do when they are getting ready to send their child to college!! Kudos to you for putting your family first!! You never get that time back and it should be well spent! I have five sons and after they grew up and started moving on (currently there are still 2 at home and I'm glad that they are there...even though they are 25 and 32! hahaha!), I said that I likely wouldn't have had as many if I knew it would be so hard emotionally to let go of them. But, they do grow up and move on and it starts to feel okay, especially when you start having grandchildren!

    Congratulations to your beautiful daughter! I know how tough it is when they go off on their own! We lived in South Carolina and my daughter got into the University of Pittsburgh. So, being sad and her leaving was not an option; so our family moved! Now my youngest is going to be graduating in a few years. Your crying just made me realize we need way much more family time!

    And girl... I cried too!! It's its a happy/ melancholy/ proud cry. I was so proud I thought I'd burst!! 😭 ❤️ She told me not to cry when I took her to her first apartment in college. I got her all settled in, and then she walked me back to my truck & and said goodbye with no 😢 tears. She was so "proud," she said 😆 🤣.
    I drove away and cried ALL the way home!! 🙄😅🥲😪😭 You're not alone! ❤️ 😍

    I have missed you, but it's good to spend time with your family. I'm a teacher, at the beginning of the year I tend to bring work home on the weekends. I have found that everything still comes together when I actually spend time with my family and really truly relax on the weekends. Sometimes, we just need to unplugg and focus on our self care and our families.

    Oh ho, you just THINK she's all gone off to college & grown up, but I promise you, she'll be ba-a-a-ck! THere will still be so many thiings to do as a family: college graduation, first real job celebration, weddings, grandbabies (you are of course too young to be a grandmother, but...), vacations, the list is endless. Did I forget to mention laundry (it will probably be back soon if her college is close by!), & "Mom, how do you make that spinach cheese pie?" & all the things she'll need to know as an adult & wife & mother & woman in the workplace. It's not over by any means, just a little bit morphed. But it's good to have you back, you were one of my very first YT channels, along with Kelly Barlow & a couple of others---I was in awe of you-all's creativity & cleverness. Still am.

    Girlfriend!! I have missed your videos! You always have the best ideas. However, I FEEL your pain/happiness. My oldest son decided to go to college in Oklahoma. We're in GA.:-/ I RELISHED every moment I could with him during his Senior year,, Class of 2023! No one can prepare you for this moment. I'm crying writing this. You're incredibly proud and happy for them. You've poured into them all the love, fun and instruction to be a great human being. But there is a mourning period of watching them leave you as they flourish in the next chapter of their lives. I'm so proud of my son but I miss that little boy needing his momma. I'm thankful that he calls me regularly. He needs me in his own way now and I am becoming good with that. HUGS!!
