#happysaturday

I know this is Sunday, well almost Monday actually at 11:59 pm, but I wrote this list in my head on Saturday, and I still want to share it!

1. Going to Market in the Park with Danielle...

(And later savoring the cinnamon rolls I purchased from Aunt Rose; gooey caramel pecan are thee best!)

2. Shopping WeCare with my sisters...

 Scored some apparently unworn BabyGap moccasins ($1.99) for Danielle and  classy black Yellowbox flip flops ($2.99) for me! 

3. Visiting Grandpa Smith at the nursing home...

4. Eating a corn dog, fries, and chocolate/vanilla swirled cup of ice cream from Dean's Grill...

(Thanks for the Food Certificate, Mr. Hiebert!) The gal at the window gave me a medium cup of ice cream instead of the small that I had the balance for! And a medium at this Southern food shop is a whopping 16 oz cup! I gave it my all and conquered!

5. Chatting with friends and neighbors at our hometown Piggly Wiggly...

especially made my day to say hey to one of my favorite Walmart employees there! Maybe we both share a love/hate relationship with Walmart!

6. Watching Danl operate his new machinery...

 He is so talented!

7. Taking a family walk on Garrett Road...

We all love the "new-to-us" jogging stroller!

8. Skipping cooking and dishes for an evening!

9. Ordering my childhood favorite menu items at Taco Bell...

(hard taco, soft taco, pintos 'n cheese!)

10. Hearing our baby "sing!" 

She loves to coo along to all her favorite little songs!

A Girl's Gotta Have a Purse!

Danielle acquired her first purse today!
And like a true girl, she loves it! (If clutching it solidly and slobbering on it profusely counts as adoration! I think it does!) I had spied this mini marvel several weeks ago at T.J.Maxx and had fallen in love! I could just picture Danielle playing happily with this little purse and even taking it to Sunday School with her little offering coins in it years down the road... Even though I left it in the store, it stayed in my mind! So today, I ogled the aisles to see if any of the tiny totes remained, and found only 3 of them marked down in the clearance section! If that's not a sure sign to purchase, I'm not a shopaholic! Cute as it is, Ralph Lauren didn't design this as a baby purse; it's actually a "Mini Tote Bag Charm." A purse upon a purse?! Seems a bit silly to me, but it would be a great place to keep your keys! Maybe when Danielle is all grown up, she can attach her first purse to her current one! But for now, a bitty baby with a bitty bag just makes this mama smile. :)
