52 Lists week #26: The Things I Keep In My Purse

-
What a fun and easy list assignment this week: list the things you keep in your purse / handbag.  I typically have a pretty small purse but somehow I manage to put quite a bit into it.  I am one of those people who feels the need to always be prepared "just in case!" 


Now I know this list is a bit long but I actually do carry around a fairly small purse- honest!
  • Keys
  • Cell Phone
  • Wallet
  • Small first aid kit/ stash of band aids (I have 3 boys!)
  • Gum
  • Sunglasses
  • A tiny make up kit with lip gloss, blush and a nail file
  • Pen
  • Mini hair brush
  • A Book (usually)
  • A small camera
  • Travel pack of tissues 
What do you keep in your purse?

    I forgot my cell phone on my list, but that's because I normally put it in my back pocket.

      I'm surprised I thought to put mine on the list... usually I forget it on the counter or the table and leave the house without it!

    Your list reminded me that I need to put a nail file in my purse. I keep forgetting and always need one when I'm out and about.

      I try to keep a few in there; I seem to always loose them and yet I need one so often.

    Now I'm wondering where the little pack of kleenex that used to be in my purse is. I didn't see any when I made my list.

      I often run out and forget to replace them.

A Day In the Life Post

Once summer comes we don't really have a typical day!  Half the fun of summer is relaxing and letting our days unfold as they will.  This "typical" day is based on Wednesday July 3rd.



5:00 I woke up and talked to my husband for a bit as he got ready for work then laid in bed reading my latest novel: Magic Hour by Kristen Hannah.



6:00 I finally headed downstairs to work on the blog a bit and was so surprised that I had the house to myself until 7! My kids don't really sleep later in the summer but they all love to laze around in their rooms watching TV or playing video games.

Around 7 I made my breakfast and decided to take it outside and eat in the sunshine as-- I try to do this often in the summer.



After eating I headed upstairs to shower and get dressed and ready for the day.  I made our bed and cleaned up the house.  At 8:30 I reminded the boys to eat breakfast.

By 9:30, once we were all dressed and ready for the day, I asked the boys to go outside and clean all …

Dream Vacation Destinations

I don't think there is ever a day that goes by that I am not thinking about some great idea for a family vacation.  I have planned too many of them in my head to ever really take our family on before the boys are completely grown and out of the house!  I also have thought a lot about trips I'd like to take once the boys are grown and out of the house (though I just know I will wish they were with us to experience it!).

Today's list is all about those dream vacations... and I'm warning you this list could have been so much longer!



One of my goals for a few years now has been to try and visit all 50 states so I do have just about a destination or two in every state in mind and a few outside the country too!  For today's post I'm just going to list those that I think about often.

1.  Bora Bora-- I've always wanted to stay in one of these over the water bungalows.  Just look at that water!!



2.  Bar Harbor and Acadia National park in Maine have been on my list …

Ever since we began homeschooling my boys and I have used summer as a time to drag out all our craft and painting supplies.  Bringing everything outside made me more relaxed about the mess of crafting with kids and allows us all a little more freedom to create.  This week my features are all about some fun summer crafting projects I'd love to try.

Tropical Broccoli Salad

I love broccoli salad, well salads of all kinds really, but knew that if I wanted to keep eating and enjoying them without guilt I was going to have to overhaul my favorite summer salad recipes.  
I've already made my pasta salad Weight Watchers friendly so I decided to put together a Weight Watchers friendly broccoli salad.  And you know what?  I like this better than my original!  Don't get me wrong my original is delicious with a hint of maple, chewy craisins and soft cheese but it is not WW friendly at all.  


I looked through the cabinets for what I had on hand and I came up with a fruity and tropical broccoli salad that is nice and light and perfect for those hot summer nights when no one feels like cooking.  
Ingredients:
4 cups broccoli florets  1/2 cup red seedless grapes, sliced in half 2 stalks celery, sliced 1 cup pineapple, cut into bite sized pieces 1/4 cups pecan halves 2 Tablespoons bacon bits 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt, plain 4 ounces Skinny Girl Poppy Seed …

10 Things I Want to Try or Do

I had a hard time coming up with a list of things I want to try or do because typically if there's something I want to try-- I do.  I like to seize the day whenever possible and try not to put off until tomorrow what I can do right now.  That said there are some things I keep thinking I'd like to do that I do put off... thing I either don't feel the pressing need to jump in and do or things I just can't afford to do right now.



Things like:

1.  I'd love to start learning (or even re-learning) a foreign language.  My boys have started using Duolingo and it looks so fun plus I feel so worldly when I know at least a few words in other languages.

2.  When my grandmother died I got all her old paints and I have been wanting to start painting on canvas again but I have this immense fear that I've forgotten everything and won't know what or how to paint but I really, really want to try.

3.  Go to a hot air balloon festival.  I'm not one to participate in may …
