saturday secrets

I did say I was signing off, but before I go, let me share a few saturday secrets.
clever secrets, silly.
It's no secret that times are changing. I wish I had one of these items when I had babies.
Quite a splash on any counter. It is a bottle dry station. The brush is hidden in the center for cleaning the bottles. ("Splash" found at target)
I found one of these Moleskines. It will be my back-to-school wellness note-book.
A beautiful box of these jewels arrived and the designer blogs here on monkey grass hill.

The stones have secret wellness wishes.
My secret stash for gifting. Shhh, please don't give-away all my secrets.
Great gifts for teachers, friends, family.
This sweet blog gal had a small swell birthday at home.

Just thought I would let you "be in on a few secrets."

I was never very good at keeping secret finds all to myself.
Would you like Saturday secrets to be a weekly post or shall I just keep it a secret?

    Saturday morning Michael takes our little Eva for a walk and I get coffee and the computer.

    I would love some secrets from you on a Saturday.

    And where was that bottle rack when I was looking for one??

    I agree! Keep the secrets!

    I wish we had that "Splash" when I was a nanny! But it might be a bit early to pre-order it (the wedding's not till June ;)!)

    I also love the new Moleskins! They have lots of very helpful looking new journals.

    Have a great weekend!

    Yes, please share more secrets.
    I think I may NEED that notebook. Have you seen their "book" notebooks? Ideal gift for my bff's birthday (or myself).

    Yes! Saturday secrets, and we will all share--delicious! My best secret is a system that really worked for me when the girls were small. They were starving after school, and were filling up with snacks, then--not eating dinner. It infuriated me as I always prepared large family dinners, so I turned the tables, or courses so to speak. I made the big family dinner at 3:30 for the second they came home from school, and they ate everything with seconds. Then we were all prepped and ready to eat with their father when he came home. They pulled up to the table with ice cream, and we had better conversation!
