So pretty

Guys I found the rainbow hangtag yesterday! It was in the bathroom storage cabinet behind some stuff! So today I told my DS2 let's clean the cabinet! He'll hand me stuff and empty the cabinet and I'll wipe the shelf when he's done. He finds it and then he says "Oh yeah, I remember doing that now!" Of course he does! I have been asking him for a month like almost every day for fun because he does this eye roll and sigh and says I STILL CAN'T REMEMBER! The week I carried the bag the hang tag went with, he asked me to stop carrying the bag so I would stop asking him where the hang tag is! He was ecstatic to find it and give it to me! I hugged and kissed him of course for finding it! The chain is torn but the tag is ok.

Talking about hot masks, this one claims to be cooling.

The Cooling Face Mask

Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, this is the general use face mask that can help protect against airborne impurities while keeping your skin cool and dry even with extended wear. Made from breathable fabric, this mask remains cool against the skin, provides UV protection, and comes with...

Thank you! If you (anyone) tries something like these, I want to hear if it works.

I'm so happy! My instacart shopper found my favorite brand of bacon! We've been out for a long time and the other brands just aren't as good. And I got toilet paper!

That is awesome! Now I want to (and will) cook some bacon today. Thank you! We did grocery pick-ups, and I kept saying that they must not know what some things are because how could they be out of things like cabbage, lol! They eventually admitted they didn't know what some of the things were after seeing them in our orders repeatedly, and we helped them find them. I know several teens who have never had a job before (and never grocery shopped) picking grocery orders. lol! Here's to bacon!

I am skeptical of Hamm/Schlemmer products at times because I think they often just like to sell overpriced gimmicky items, but they do have some good ideas. I was looking at this mask, and it really isn't made of anything special. I am not sure that it could really be a cooling mask. I think many of the positive reviews probably just didn't try other lightweight masks out and assumed they were all hotter than this one? Maybe I am just being a skeptic of the cooling claims since there isn't anything about it that is cooling that I can see. Plus people said it has the ties instead of just the adjustable band so you have to keep retying them.

I didn't check in this weekend and come back to toilet paper discussions! LOL you never know what will happen on the island!

As long as it's not 1-ply I'm ok with whatever haha I can't wait to tell the youngsters in 50 years from now about the great TP shortage of 2020 ... they probably won't even know what toilet paper is. "You did WHAT to your BUTT?" Believe it or not we still had butts in 2020, but after Kim Kardashians butt became sentient and was elected President in 2028 butts were outlawed.

I know; this is so funny! We should make a time capsule.

There is a group of tiny little boys (maybe age 5) riding their bikes down our street everyday. They have this war cry scream as they ride by, and it sounds like they're being killed, but now we know it's them. One of my children asked how those little boys can be out all day and after dark, all alone, screaming in the streets, every day. We told them that was how it used to be in the olden days. You only came home when you got hungry or tired. There weren't cell phones; so no one could check on you either. Lol!

I'm skeptical too. It doesn't explain how it keeps you cool. It just mentions the silver. I think they should let me test one though. If it works for me, it is amazing.

I haven't taken a ton of pics lately, but here are a couple I recently shared on my instagram. We need some pretty blue skies with the crazy world right now

This is beautiful! I would ask them to let me run barefoot on that grass and have a picnic with the ducks (and nap?) by the water.

I feel the same way about the cooling. At least they should tell you how it works.

I already have masks with silver. It is supposed to be antibacterial.

I remember that! It was great! We went out to play all day, came home for dinner, then went back out until just before bedtime.

Omg i do that too!! I go to from high price to low in the "sort" area so I know i cant afford nothing hahaahajaj, life is super busy, I am currently in the bathroom, not going to the bathroom, trying to have 5 min to myself, the twins have had terrible 2s and has been quite a challenging time, when you add homeschooling , covid and overnight working...the only reason I didn't run away is because the border is closed hahahaaha , this year has made me realized how strong mothers are, how much they sacrifice and if anything it has made me love and understand my mother more because she had it hard and always made sure we were taken care off, i just never noticed how hard she had to work for it until I went through it. .

There's nothing like having kids to make you appreciate your mom. The thing I learned about kids when mine were growing up is that no matter how insurmountable the problem seems, you always find a way.

Same for us. In the evening we had to come in when the streetlights came on!
