In case of emergency.........

do not break glass.........just open my purse. I'm the kind of person you want to be stuck with in the event of some disaster. You may be able to survive with the contents of my bag for up to a week. This is a well known fact among family and friends. So, since I am just getting started in the blogging world, Sarah suggested that 'the contents of my purse' would make an excellent post. With the help of Tiffany's ever-present camera, and Kelli's recounting of my MacGyver skills a few Sundays back, my first 'real' blog entry was born.


I am a superhero and my purse is my superpower.
I can feed the hungry....sweetarts, fruit roll up, or gum. Usually there are more food items in there, like a pop tart or a baggy of crackers or something, but this time it was just candy. Having so much food and goodies in my bag has earned me the nickname "Auntie Snack", a title I hold proudly!
If I can't feed the hungry, I can save them money with some coupons, give them a recipe, or a Coldstone giftcard.
Help the sick (coughdrops and kleenex). Be a beacon in the dark for the lost (tiny flashlight). Perform a variety of life saving skills with my trusty pocket knife. This is what Kelli was a witness to, one Sunday I fixed baby sunglasses by using my pocket knife as a screwdriver. Protect the innocent (mace- don't leave home without it! and a change purse heavy enough to knock some teeth out) Help the needy....anyone need a hairclip, floss, eye drops, girly products, 3 kinds of chapstick, a pen, fingernail clippers/file, or lotion??
Just shine the signal up in the sky.
Since my bags are often know as 'Mary Poppins bag', I think the silhouette of this bag is a fitting signal.

I'll see you on the roof!

Lai-la, Lai-la, Lai-la....



This is from last week at my Mom's house. Laila has been doing a little bit of imitating so we have been practicing her name.
Major props if you last through the whole video because I think this is the sort of thing that only a mother loves. You will probably be more sick of hearing me trying to get her to say it.
Pardon the shake in the middle when I nudge Nathan away!
