Five Things I Can't Leave The House Without- August

Here's a list of the five items I have in my possession at all times, at least for this week. The list is bound to change.

1.) Cell Phone:
It's not fancy and I hate to text, but I've been known to drive backwards great lengths to retrieve my cell phone. I have two fears regarding this: I'll fall down the stairs and break both legs and won't be able to call for help, I lock Little Nib in the car/house with the keys and she's screaming to be let out.

2.) Munchkin Snack Catcher:
Not to be confused with the Snack Trap. Whoever invented this gadget is a genius. Let's kids eat snacks without spilling them all over. Usually filled with some kind of raisin, goldfish, pretzel goodness. Pure awesome.

3.) Lipgloss:
I have one in my purse and one in my car at all times. For those mornings when I forget to look in the mirror before I leave the house, at least I can look somewhat put together.

4.) Blog Notebook:
Dear Big Cheese bought me a special notebook with a world map on the cover when I decided to start this blog. Now I don't go anywhere without it. You may have seen me at the side of the road hastily jotting down post ideas...my memory ain't what it used to be.

And finally...

5.) Water Bottle/Sippy Cup:
I never leave the house without my water bottle. And I certainly never leave the house without a sippy cup for Little Nib, been there done that and it was not pretty. Who does not need extra hydration?

What things are always on your person?

  2. I do it because I live in the 21st Century and don't want to feel 'old'. But really? I'd rather just call you up or send you an email. I think it's because I'm lazy and talk to much. :)

  3. Hey Mary, I'm so excited you have blog! I remember once that I was going to ask you if you had one because for some reason I could just see you having one. :) I started ours after the new year and have become pretty obssesed with the blog world since...it's fun! :) Actually I started it because I failed miserably at scrap booking, baby books and all that good stuff so it's original main purpose was to make up for that. :)

  4. Hi Laura! I didn't know you blogged! Thanks for stopping by here, I'll have to check out your blog soon. I have a few friends that blog and they seemed to really get a lot out of it, so I thought I'd try my hand at it. So far, so good!

    You and your family are so beautiful! I'm happy for you!

Now You See Me, Later You Won't

Although I've been away from this space for quite some time I was surprised to see that people were still reading it.  Go me!  So, although I am not going to be blogging in this space for much longer, I'm going to leave it up for the time being.  If nothing else as a way for people to find me in my next space. Next space you say?  Yes, I'm moving.  When I started this blog things were very different from what they are now.  I thought we were moving abroad much sooner, I was not going to school and there were no definite plans for a second baby.  That being said, the last few months I felt like I was not able to really be comfortable in this space.  So I'm opting to move someplace else, under a different blog name and start again.  I really hope that you will move over with me; I've so enjoyed having you along for the ride! So, sometime soon I will post about my new digs.  As soon as I find the time to put something up over...

A Giveaway, A Giveaway!

Well fellow inter-friends, I was going to post today about my experience with the Wii Fit. However, upon looking at my post number I realized that today was post #95. Which means that I get to announce the nifty little giveaway I have planned for post #100. Giveaway you say? Oh yes, just keep reading folks. I'm not going to get too introspective and sentimental today. After all, I have to leave myself something to write for the hundredth post. I'm excited that I made it this far. When I started out I really, really hoped that I'd actually write in this space and feel motivated enough to keep writing here. And I do! I like having something to do everyday that is for me, and really (sorry to disappoint you) only me. We can discuss this at more length next week, when I've actually made it to one hundred. So, the details. I want to know more about who you are. Yes, you! The people that come and read my stuff everyday. Or every week. Heck, if you're just pa...

Lady in the Sky, With Broccoli

We've had a whirlwind, chaotic, hectic, exciting week.  It was a week of fixes, car naps, quick meals and heat.  Oh, the heat!  I finally feel like today we had the chance to tone things down and take a breath.  The Little Lady and I were left to our devices for the evening while the Mr. took a much deserved night off.  We had a light dinner and then went outside for our favorite pre-bed activity, Bubble Chasing.  (Well, she chases, I blow).  The following conversation ensued. Laying in the grass: MP: Hey LL, look at all those clouds! LL:  Yeah mom, clouds. MP:  What do you see up there?  I see bunny ears! LL:  They just puffy mama. MP: (Humph, this might not work...) LL:  Mama, I see Lady! MP: (Getting excited)  That's great, what's she doing? LL:  Lady in Sky, with Broccoli.  I like Broccoli! MP: Well, yes, it does look like broccoli.  What else do you see? LL:  Poop in a glass.  Ha...
