Robeez and Flowers

Today I received two things in the mail. One was a new pair of Robeez shoes for Sophia.
two pairs of Robeez shoes that Sophia outgrew
The monkey and sunflower Robeez shoes are the ones she outgrew. Her sunflower shoes were her main pair. They match just about everything. The monkey shoes I couldn’t resist cause they’re just so damn cute. The peace shoes, which are HUGE on her are the new ones. I got them cause they aren’t pink and the blue is very close to her favorite Peep blue color and the orange in the middle is my favorite color.

The other thing I got in the mail today is a “convertible wristlet” which is a small clutch/handbag. It’s also called a Zippy Zipper Wristlet by Simple Sweet Cakes, the Etsy Shop from which I purchased my wristlet. It’s awesome! I love it. I’m not a purse person, but I didn’t want to carry stuff in my pockets through the summer. I like to go without a jacket on the hotter days and it’s uncomfortable to carry a cellphone in my jeans. This is the perfect small not-a-purse answer for me. I can wrap the strap around the stroller or fish it through my pant loops like a hip pack. I had mine custom made with an exterior zipper pocket for change and two interior pockets to separate my cellphone and business/store cards from the rest of the junk in my not-a-purse. The fabric I chose is called Turquoise Fleur. I thought it might be a little loud for me, but it’s not. I love it. It reminds me of tiles one might find in a Spanish kitchen. And the colors, Peep blue and Orange :)

Yes, that is a nasal aspirator keeping it propped up. No, I don’t keep it in my not-a-purse, but as of lately I probably should!

55 Flash Fiction Friday: Big Help

We went to Costco to buy bulk baby diapers and two forty-pound bags of dog food. “Here let me help you with that” She said picking up the box of diapers.

“Are you sure you can handle all that?” I asked sarcastically, “Don’t worry, I’ve got them all. I’ll help you with all the feathers.”

Green Bags

I’ve wanted to get rid of my dependency on plastic bags, but didn’t really know what to use in their place. Well I’m starting to get the hang of it now. I started by buying a couple wet bags for Sophia. I put her dirty diapers in them when I’m out somewhere and no trash can is available or it’s not appropriate to toss the dirties in the can (i.e. the doctor’s office). I also use them for dirty/wet clothes. They’re great for swimming. Grocery stores are pushing their reusable bags now. I haven’t bought any, but it’s probably about time for that.

55 Flash non-Fiction Friday: Survival

“You survived it didn’t you?” They say, “So it couldn’t be that bad.”
Maybe the bad times are dwelt on too much. However, unless we’re speaking of car accidents mere survival seems like such a low bar to set. Sure, there were good times. I do remember them, but the bad was much more far-reaching.
