Lists

Are you a list maker?  I am, big time.  I make lists not only for the grocery store, Costco, and Target but also for pros and cons when making decisions, ideas of presents to buy for upcoming events, birthday cards to send this month, topics I want to google, etc. 

Today while William, Lauren and I were peacefully cruising through Costco (with my list in hand, of course), I heard my name shouted from the book section.  It was this:



This is so perfect!  I've been thinking that although I have this blog and baby books which I half-ass fill in, I don't have anything for my kids to read someday to know who I am.  ME.  Their mom.  ASHLEY.  I'm waaaayyy more than just the hands that make meals and fold clothes (although somedays I don't feel like).  I want them to know that I got a sub one day to go see Metallica in concert.  That I love Godsmack and Kid Rock.  That I've been to 5 Harry Connick, Jr. concerts and would leave their daddy for him in an instant if he asked.  Wait, I may leave that part out.  I want them to know that I loved school and reading and writing but hated and struggled in math.  You know what I mean?  I want them to know that the decision to stay home and be a mom was the easiest and hardest decision I've ever made.  I want them to know that growing up with an older brother sucked sometimes and was so awesome at others but that I love him now almost more than anyone.  Ok, you get what I'm saying.  This books is fantastic because although I like to write, this is just a book where things can be listed.  You can add to it quickly and jot things down as they come to you. 

It says, "List bad things you did as a kid"


 I look forward to keeping this on my night stand and just filling things in at night before I go to bed.  Some pages aren't appropriate for my children to read someday and I'll leave those blank.  But for the most part, I think it's a treasure I'll be providing for them. 

If you're interested in looking at this book further or reading reviews, click here.  Or, you can check out your local Costco.  It's was cheaper at Costco than on Amazon. 

Happy listing!

  1. I WANT IT. I WANT IT. I make and keep lists. But then lose them. And forget what was on the list to begin with.
