pinterest

there's a website that you may or may not be familiar with -- pinterest.



it's mainly for people to share other ideas, pictures, crafts, etc. i usually just get on there to repost funny quotes or cute pictures. sometimes i do repost crafty, creative ideas but it's just to make me "feel" creative because i actually am not at all "crafty".



i have made a few of the recipes and used a few ideas for party decorations but no real "crafts" ... until now!

the zoo "stuffed animal" storage that we (my husband, bro-in-law, father-in-law and i made)



the menu board that i made to plan out each weeks meals. (i'm really liking this so far)

what's in my purse?

one of my favorite magazines is us weekly and one of the items in each issue is where they have a celebrity tell what all they have in their purse. i'm by no means a celebrity but i thought i would do that too. i have a lot of random stuff in my purse (which explains why it weighs about 12 pounds)!

notebook and pen - i will forget anything and everything if i don't write it down immediately so i have numerous lists going at all times! shopping lists, to-do lists, people to call, bills to pay, etc.

my phone - i will turn around and go home to get it if i forget it. how did we ever leave without cell phones?

sunglasses - i can't walk to the mailbox without sunglasses

keys - usually buried at the bottom of my purse

koozie - because that's just how redneck i am!

hair brush, clean and clear face blotters, chapstick

ipod touch - has all my music, games for me, games for the kids (to keep them occupied)

pictures of the kids

wallet with checkbook, cash, credit cards

coupon holder - i would be so upset if i lost my coupon holder!

day planner (because i can't remember any appointments or obligations if they are not written down)
