FOR TODAY
May 11th, 2009
Outside my window: Birds on the feeder and kids leaving school
I am thinking: I wish I had a Kitchenaid mixer so I could make bake more easily.
From the learning rooms: AppleTV with new podcast episodes
I am thankful for: beautiful weather and great friends
From the kitchen: Homemade potato soup - just like Mom used to make
I am wearing: Jeans and a black tshirt - smeared with baby “goo” and flour
I am creating: a photojournal
I am reading: Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris and The Price of Privilege by Madeline Levine
I am hoping: for a relaxing, uneventful week
I am hearing: the dog greeting the husband, the baby “talking” while he eats dinner and NPR on the radio
Around the house: lots of laundry and dust
One of my favorite things: fresh strawberries and cream
A few plans for the week: Meeting, Groceries, Laundry and Pictures
A picture thought I am sharing: Enjoying the spring weather
Just How White is Your Trash?
That book is this:
How I ever survived the school system without this book to guide me is well beyond my comprehension. Michelle Lamar and Molly Wendland have an incredible sense of humor and a way of looking at things that I am desperate to adopt. From Volunteering ROI to the “Muffia”, this book is a must have for any mom with kids in the public school system.
I honestly do not have the words to adequately rave about what an asset this book has been to me this first month of school. If you haven’t seen it, go and pick it up. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
Holy Giveaway, Batman!
Is it wrong that I am ubber excited about
reusable produce bags
and
aprons? I am truly a domestic diva.
Anyway, take a look over at Simple Mom’s blog:
It’s a Motherload of Prizes!!
