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"
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!
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.
