A chatty look at a 40 year old’s college freshman year, her kids, husband and other craziness
Things are changing quickly for the Carbone family and since I haven’t documented anything for so long I thought I’d try and catch you up.
Tommy is graduating from the University of Missouri on May 12th with a degree in Journalism with an emphasis in Magazine Editing. We are headed out there to help him celebrate [...]
In the past 4 years I’ve done 6 college move ins, if you don’t know what that means I’ll explain it to you. It’s where you take everything of importance to your college aged child and help them cram it into a very small sleep/study space. Tommy has always let me do what I want [...]
As of today life is finally back to being semi-sane. Both boys got off to college yesterday and I received a phone call from each of them this morning, Simon wanting to know where I had put his mixing bowls and if the cupcake pans belonged to him, and Tommy letting me know he got [...]

Tomorrow is Simon’s first official day of college spring break, well at least tomorrow is his last day of school before spring break starts. Olivia and her friend McKenzie are going to accompany me up to UF tomorrow to pick Simon up, while we are there we are going to go to a UF v [...]

Tommy is trying to finalize his summer internship and Simon has just decided to come home for the summer, Liv is once again going to [...]
Another year has come and gone, where does the time go? Today is a crazy day, we are having our annual New Years party tonight and I’m trying to get ready for it. Tommy and his girlfriend Kelly ( who flew in from Wisconsin) are currently at the grocery store picking up all the [...]
