Park and Tennis Totes - The Summer Tote Project

To continue the Tote project for the summer, let's tackle the Park and Tennis Totes.

This summer, Leah is taking a Sunday tennis class at a nearby park. This gives Alice and I the perfect excuse to play outside for an hour. Here's the lowdown on the tote ...

The Park Tote
Park Tote
This is the bag that will have a hundred things to do outside, so we don't get bored waiting for Leah and fall back at staring at our iPads.
  • Sunscreen
  • Hats
  • Rain gear - jackets and umbrellas
  • Picnic blanket
  • Books
  • Coloring books/paper
  • Deck of cards 
  • The kite I got on sale at Target two years ago
And I'll toss in snacks like clementines and granola bars, and icy water bottles.

Tennis Tote
All this bag includes is our ...
  • tennis rackets, one for everyone in the family
  • new containers of balls
  • larger practice balls
  • water bottles
  • and sunscreen
so we can head to a park at a moments notice and practice Leah's new-found tennis skills. We'd likely bring along the Park Totes ... and maybe a dog.

Read all about the Pool Tote, which is really the crown jewel of all the totes, here.

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
