With less than 6 months until Maris is packing up to move many states away, on her own, I have started collecting things that will hopefully ease the transition for her {someone please send something that will ease MY transition!} Many of you are in this same season of life and I thought you might appreciate my finds. I will share some of them with you over the next few months.

First up, this sweetly illustrated 'How to do your own laundry' print created by the folks at Caravan.

You simply pay $5 and then you receive a pdf file that allows you to print either a 12x12 or a 20x20 - as many as you'd like! Much better {and prettier} than just a typed explanation from Mom.
