Tote Bags for Babies and Little Old Ladies

Tote Bags for Babies and Little Old Ladies
[Sweet Love] 100% Cotton

I found these sweet Tote Bags a few days ago and could hardly wait till I had one in my hands and the time to write an article to share these with you.

These are the sweetest ever Tote Bags in 100% Cotton and in nice large size.

I’m a lady with lots of Tote Bags, and especially after being diagnosed with COPD.

When Hubby and I decide to go anywhere, it’s like taking a new baby along.

You know, extra bottles, toys, diapers. Enough tote bags to fill the entire trunk of any auto.

Well, it’s almost the same way when we travel, and I mean travel to the grocery store. My big tote bag must hold most everything that would normally ride in the Stroller for baby and toddler.

A small oxygen tank will last about 2 hours if I keep the setting to “pulse,” which means every time I breathe it spits one gulp of air. Generally, that is not enough air to keep a mouse kicking. So I’m prone to cranking that oxygen bottle up a notch so that it shoots air continuously like a normal person breathing outside air would do. Much better for me, but that means more oxygen tanks are needed and that means more tote bags to carry more tanks

…I think I lost my train of thought.   [Read more…]

Shopping for Mom on Mother’s Day

 Shopping for Mom on Mother’s Day

I wrote an earlier article about Mother’s Day and my own Mom. I wrote about all the things I’d like to give  my Mom if she were still here.  Things I know she would enjoy. My Mom passed away with Alzheimer’s in 2008. And she had little knowledge of herself or other immediate family members for almost 5 years before that during the slow progression of Alzheimer’s.

So I’ve tried to think of things I might like for myself on Mother’s Day and Create a Page of wonderful things for all Mother’s during Mother’s Day  week–

I hope all good things come to all of you and especially those who still have their wonderful Mother.   [Read more…]

New Shoes for Spring

New Shoes for Spring

I have always worn flip flops or backless sandals in the summer. Arizona summers are exceptionally hot and canvas sneakers mean sweaty feet. Well, sweaty and stinky feet, to be totally honest. So flip flops are customary fair for daily wear in the desert. When it’s 110 degrees anything with more leather than a cow’s hoof is gross.   [Read more…]

My own tribute to Joan Rivers

My tribute to Joan Rivers – 

I  was a newlywed when Joan Rivers first appeared on The Johnny Carson Show, my new hubby was a long-haul trucker. I spent many nights alone with Johnny Carson. Though flawed, my reasoning was… if I watched television till late into the night, it made sleeping all day easier and hubby’s return come quicker.  [Read more…]

Cinco de Mayo is one of the Celebrations in the Desert Southwest

In the United States and especially the Desert Southwest, Cinco de Mayo is a celebration as well as a tradition  of our Mexican culture and heritage. There are many parties with mexican dancing, Mariachi Bands and much fun for all who celebrate this holiday.

Though not a legal holiday (no banks or offices closed) it is still a fun time for all who celebrate the date of a Mexican break from European invaders.
