Shopping/Organizing

 This is how you shop and organize from 2400 miles away. First, your daughter has organized all the items from her dorm and decided what she is not taking back BEFORE she leaves. This is definitely the biggest lifesaver.  Then, you ask her to make a list of what she needs.  She shares it and  it is practically school supplies- a notebook (that she has used in the past and therefore saved on Amazon) and other easy items. Next, I (the mom) decide she needs a smaller fan and a new back pillow because the other one has been well loved.  So during a TJ Max’s outing, me ( the mom) sees what I think she may like , snaps a picture, sends it to her and hope she is able to answer (don’t forget she is also 3 hours behind time) or answers before I just buy what I think she may want. She responds (yippee) and I get some items and a few other items too. 

She sends a layout of how she and her roommate (whom is also with her 2400 miles away) have mapped out their dorm room. Then, I notice she has also organized other places within her room. She is able to do this because she will be in the same exact room. 

Amazon makes ordering (and remembering for me) easy too!

Send pictures at times to make sure that it’s keep or not this time. 

Show her how I organized. 

Then send text messages asking which ones and thankfully getting a response. Honestly, I love helping this adult daughter of mine.  I am so grateful for her heart and the talents that God has given to her. 

I truly can’t wait to see her smiling face in person.
