Now that almost everyone has moved in and started college…let’s do this year’s dorm tours. I did this series last year and it was a big hit.
So let’s start our 2026 series where we share beautifully done dorm rooms. Today is day 1!

If you want to share your room with us then DM your dorm video and we’ll showcase it in our series.

The dreaded Move-in day is almost here. It’s a bittersweet moment where we are happy for our child’s new life but sad that the bird has left the nest.
Make that day easier by going though my blogs on “how to pack your car on move in day “ and “all the essentials you’ll need on our college move in day”
Comment “move” and I’ll Dm you links for both the blogs.
