Take Each Day By Day

I love bags- handbags, leather bags, overnight bags, I even love shopping for suitcases! Whilst I was studying for my teaching degree I worked at a handbag shop and was in heaven! And slightly broke...  I  was very spoilt this week with a new #dkny bag that is very different to the soft slouchy leather bags I go for. It is structured, hard leather and very classy! I love it!  This also got me thinking about the bag dilemmas I have a school- I love taking a handbag (where else am I going to get the chance to get them out??) I need to take a bag that holds my laptop and books and I have a cooler lunch bag.  Three bags!!  I'm of ficially the bag lady!!  I know I could solve this with backpack or a larger handbag computer combined (my collegue has a # forevernew one and it is to die for!) but I kind of don't want to. I love mixing my handbags up so I feel like I need a better laptop/ lunch bag solution! I'm off to #kmart this morning to see what I can find. Any sugges

My husband and I met at Bathurst university and enjoy visiting whenever we get the chance- esp as my brother lives there now. We enjoyed a great day at the races and a nice dinner out.

They customized their vegetable and salad side plates to suit my son's tastes and the servings were huge!! So for $6 he got a very healthy and exactly to his liking dinner. It's great to receive above and beyond service. Till the next time!!

Luckily they are at public play centers so I found myself ok to sit with a coffee and phone and wait for conversation to come my way.  Boy was I glad I took my gem as it turned out he was the only kid from his class at one party and one of three at the other two. Not that the birthday kid was fussed as they were surrounded by family and running wild with my son but it was still disappointing to see the lack of effort put in from other mums of day care friends. After some friendly conversation towards the end I was profusely thanked and told that we were the only ones who RSVP. So not only were there limited numbers but the poor party planners were left in a bind still not sure how many were
