Thanks to Card My Yard Millstone for partnering with Mom Home Guide for this post. Yesterday my twins graduated from high school! I can't believe how quickly time has flown! Surprisingly, I didn't cry at their graduation ceremony yesterday. But I admit that I did cry the night before! I happened to drive by my kids' high school Tuesday evening and got weepy. I realized that I will no longer be driving my twins to school!
