It appears that Daddy decided to let this kids take pictures (a twist for us, as typically Mommy or Daddy are the ones behind the camera)  When asked why the goofy faces he replied, “I had to come up with new things for them to take pictures of.”

I am entering this picture in a photo contest at 5 Minutes for Mom. This photo captures my daughters joy as she was introduced to swimming in the Chesapeake Bay.  What summer fun this was!Summer Fun copy

My Bag of Tricks

August 12, 2008

in Homemaker

IMG_6659 A few weeks ago I was given a voucher for a free gallon of milk from a certain grocery store.  Today I finally made it back to the store but when I went to pull the voucher from my purse, I had a bit of trouble finding it.  When I got home I decided it was time to clean out my purse.

I really could put Mary Poppins to the test for who has more in her lovely bag.

Check out what I discovered today.

  • 1 bottle of ibuprofen
  • 27 BJs coupons
  • 1 expired mailer for a discount day at the consignment shop
  • 1 small bottle of Bath and Body Works Lotion
  • 15 receipts
  • 1 dirty napkin
  • 2 church bulletins
  • 1 CFA kids table topper
  • 1 CFA purex hand wipe
  • 2 bug repellent wipes
  • 4 CFA breakfast coupons
  • 3 old shopping lists
  • 1 e-mail address
  • 1 girls sock
  • 2 OJ lids
  • movie coupon stub
  • 1 button
  • 2 feminine pads
  • 1 and 1/2 crayons
  • 1 check book (to an account we no longer use) 
  • 1 comb
  • car lighter (no, I don’t smoke, neither does my husband, I have no idea how this got in there)
  • 1 loose credit card
  • book of stamps
  • 1 panty liner
  • 1 golf ball (we don’t golf)
  • IMG_6670one tube of chap stick (cap off) that is so dirty and grody there is NO  WAY I’d let anyone’s lips near it 
  • seashell
  • dirty tissue
  • straw wrapper
  • 2 baby barrettes
  • 3 toddler barrettes
  • 1 of my own barrettes
  • keys to church
  • 6 quarters
  • 9 pennies
  • 5 dimes
  • 2 nickels
  • 1 card for a kids hair stylist
  • 4 nametags from the kids at nursery
  • 1 hallmark gold crown sticker (with no stick left)
  • 1 sharpie (besides the bottle of ibuprofin this is possibly the most dangerous thing in here)

And at last my free milk voucher…which expired on August 5th.

While I may not have had a coat rack in there, I could take comfort in the fact that if I was stranded in a snow storm I could start a fire with my car lighter, 15 receipts, and 27 coupons!!

Of course, not anymore..

Now that I’ve tackled it, I’d say it would be much better to rely on her bag of tricks instead!image
