Thank you, Iam. I found the 9 oz on the bottom but it can hold a bit more if you go up to the top! :angel: I even poured in the water with a measuring cup! Oh, well.

You have a lovely collection of bottles. I like the big S’well. It’s so pretty but the all silver one is so sleek. I just have my little one.

Thanks ML :). Good to know your 9 oz holds a little more than described (maybe I should get one for my purse :lol:). I couldn’t pass up on the Platinum S’ip ($7.50 at Target).

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 :P :P , 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. :heart: :heart:.

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!

How adorable! :biggrin:

Well it was nice while it lasted...New Zealand now has confirmed community transfer and we are back in semi lockdown. Auckland goes to Level 3 and the rest of the country to Level 2.
Not that I stopped washing hands or sanitizing the eftpos machines.
Sigh....at least we have an effective government thats kicked in now instead of later.

Bummer! Hang in there. Cases have slowly crept up in my region. We never went beyond phase 2.

I can't think when I'll next feel comfortable to shop in person. I've been thinking about the fall and winter and wondering if I'll continue to wear my lounge clothes. I bought a few new sweaters that it makes me sad I might not wear. Since I haven't had the energy or drive to get dressed in real clothes most of the summer I don't know what makes me think I'll be any different when the weather gets cooler. I probably will only wear my coats a few times this year.

In my ongoing saga of not being able to get food I want - instacart has been out of parmesan cheese for a few months, except for the pre-grated kind. I bought a huge container of pre-grated, not realizing how big it would be, and have discovered that, while I don't really care for it as cheese, it makes a great substitute for spaghetti noodles! Another ingredient I haven't been able to find is Crisco sticks. I can get the tubs but the sticks are much more convenient. Today Amazon had a package of 6 packages (3 sticks each) for around $22 and I jumped on it. So now I'll have enough for the next few years.

WE, I thought of you the other day while enjoying bacon. :) I'm glad you're finding some of the missed foods. LOL about having too much of a good thing!

Hi Ladies, hope you are all doing well. We're good at home, going through a tiny heat wave and it's so uncomfortable. But I'm hiding out at home, sitting downstairs where it's quite cool until late afternoon. The garden is very dry and we had a lightning storm last night.

Nothing new on the bag front except I bought one of those clear large signature cosmetic bags from the FOS. It's a nice, heavy plastic with a little handle on the zipper. I bought it because we were away for a few days and I'd wished for something to hold all my sunscreen products. So I ordered it and it just came today. I like it a lot. Makes me tempted to get the matching tote bag! :P Only if it really goes on sale.:angel:

It's quite roomy and I can fit a lot in here. I'll have to lay the bottles down but just wanted to give you an idea.

This is cute! Thank you for showing what you can fit inside. I hope you get some rain soon for your beautiful garden.

I just have one S’well, it’s the smallest one. I find even it gets heavy so the bigger sizes are not for me. I wanted one to fit in my handbag so this works out pretty well. I try not to collect this kind of thing.

I’ve been enjoying our reduced amount of “stuff” since starting
my KondoMari which is still on-going.

We’ve finished clothing and books. Now it’s Paper. We’ve made really good inroads into the kids’ school keepsakes. We’re going from five bins to three so that’s been great for opening up storage. The garage and garden shed are finished, too. We just sold some small furniture.

Although this sounds like we have a lot, we actually did not and now with extra things moved along, the house seems very light. I am going to continue for another two weeks then stop to get my classroom ready.

You are getting so much done! It sounds like it will be really nice to enjoy the results of all your work.

I hope you enjoy getting your classroom ready and have fun with the new little ones. :)

We love hydroflasks in our household. They keep water cold for a long time. We also have the wine cup versions and a coffee one. But we use the hydroflasks with the sports caps option they have, and keep them in the refrigerator, and then pull them out when we need them. When we get home we refill / or wash them as needed. They are worth the price and great bottles. My son uses one for his water bottle when he was going to school, and the kids that don't have hydroflask are always wanting them for keeping the water cold.

They work so well that when you first refill them and put them in the refrigerator you have to have the lid lightly screwed on so it can get some of the cold air from the refrigerator. Otherwise the bottle would keep it at the temperature it was filled at :smile:

That’s pretty darn good. I’ve never used one.

I miss going to TJM and Marshalls (been like over 6 months). Not sure if they are open in my area but even if open, I think I am not comfortable doing in-person shopping for non-essentials (although purses are essential right? :smile:).

I am surprised to see Coach bags at my TJMAXX. They haven't had them there for years and I saw about 4 different styles when I was in there last weekend.

Mine never has any Coach it seems — they always have a lot of MK :lol:. Although at the beginning of this year, I did see a heather grey rivet duffle (brand new with tags, stuffing and dustbag).
