Shoes


I love shoes. I mean ... who doesn't? I would love to have more. Lots more. The thing is, I rarely buy myself new shoes. I think I bought a pair of shoes a year ago. And before that I bought a few pairs with some birthday money. But I think I have gone a year without buying a new pair of shoes. Crazy, I tell ya.

Last night that changed. Jackson needed a new pair of school shoes so we ran into Kohls. These shoes just happened to go up to the register with us and then came home with me. I don't know how it happened. And for the price I paid, I don't even have buyers' remorse.

Cute, cute!

I have too many too, but they're all old. They need new friends to play with up there in the closet. ;)

Very cute shoes! Isn't funny how things just follow you to the register and then home all by themselves? Happens to me all the time!

Even now the children chant "two shoes, new shoes, bright shiney blue shoes" from a story book by Shirley Hughes from when they were very little (now 15 and 12).

There is something so special about new shoes. Hubby asked why women have so many shoes. I explained about the holy grail of shoes which are comfortable, look good on a woman, and above all make her feel like a million dollars. I think he understood. :-) Fab shoes!

you mean? shoe shopping for yourself with your children in tow isn't your idea of an afternoon well spent? searching for your children as they escape to the nearest mirror and catapault off the chair? that's not fun?

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
