Letters of thanks

Dear Mint Oreos,
   Have you always existed?  Because you are conveniently placed at the eye level of a 5 year old I have just discovered you.  You should feel special because aside from you, all desserts in this house are homemade.  YOU, my new friend, are special.

Adoringly,
Ashley


Dear Irish Spring with Moistureblast and Hydrobeads,
   You are a far cry from your boring green cousin and I love you.  You make not only my bathroom smell good after a shower but my bedroom, too.  How do you do that?  I love going to sleep with a baby monitor humming in my ear and your scent filling my room.

Yours,
Ashley


Dear China,
   Ok.  I'm totally for reals.  She's 5 and it is not ok that she looks like a hoochie.  I need you to make some clothes that are age appropriate, don't blind you in the sun due to the amount of sparkles, and that don't shrink to Lauren's size after one wash.  It really doesn't seem that hard.  Oh, wait.  Nevermind.  I only buy Made in the USA.  

Patriotically,
Ashley


Dear Downy Wrinkle Releaser spray,
   Thank you for making my 3 year old say, "Mommy, what's that big thing?" when I pulled out the ironing board recently.  Being able to spray away the wrinkles in my clothes every morning is so fabulous, I really can't even explain it.  So thanks.

Lovingly,
Ashley


Dear Amoxicillin,
   Thank you so much for making my baby girl better in a matter of 24 hours last week.  Man, before you showed up we were worried.  Now she's better, her ear is better, and it's all because of you.  Plus, your pink bottle looks pretty sitting on the top shelf in my fridge.

Gratefully,
Ashley


Dear loving friends,
   Thank you for the words of comfort, thoughts, and prayers during this time of loss in our family.  We're all doing ok but the support of friends has made us stronger.  

Much love,
All of us
