If you have friend, family, or even someone you semi-like that has a child graduating from high school this year, do them a favor and give the student a gift card and give the mom this book.

@miserablemoms does a great job of telling her story about her first child going off to college and also mixes in great dos and don’ts about the whole college process in a graphic book style.

I’ve been there 3 times already and will be sending my 4th off to college in August. This one feels different because this is the last to leave home and when I drop her off I’ll be heading off myself 18 hours away to a new city.

It will for sure be a transition time for both of us so I appreciate this book.

There is a graphic of a do which is to say your real goodbyes in the comfort of your own home and that’s great advice because I vividly remember standing in front of the bookstore sobbing uncontrollably in front on the University of South Florida bookstore saying my goodbyes to my oldest daughter.
