Confession:
I don’t like this whole being-a-mom-of-an-almost-grown-ass-person-thing.
‘Cause that shit is a little painful.
My son moved out today and it almost doesn’t seem real.
I don’t understand; how did he go from being 6 years old and bringing me flowers from the neighbor’s yard to….living on his own in what seems like such a very short period of time?
So, I had about 17 mini panic attacks when we got home from helping him move.
What if he doesn’t lock the door at night?
What if he leaves the oven on?
What if he gets sick and doesn’t tell me and doesn’t go to the doctor?
Nobody prepared me for this.
Kids have no idea that they are actually our hearts walking around, and when they grow up, we have zero control over it.
ZERO.
Unfortunately, there’s no handbook given to you in the delivery room.
Anyway, after all that mushy shit…
One of his very favorite desserts is key lime cheesecake, and I made these a while back at his request.
I find it’s easier to make cheesecake in “mini” form because they don’t seem as fragile during the baking process as making a whole cheesecake.
These would be perfect for a baby shower, bridal tea, or just to make when you get a craving.
Here’s your printable-

If you’re looking for a replacement son, I’ve got someone I am more than willing to send your way. He’ll eat you out of house and home and you’ll have to beat his ass to keep him from scarfing all of those wonderful (mini) cheesecakes.
I appreciate the offer, Adam, but we will still have our hands full keeping our teenager daughter (and all of her friends) fed.
