It's A Fabulous Life

I love reading. Really is there much better than curling up with a good book, cuddled up under the blankets, sitting next to a fire while it’s snowing out? Or let’s go tropical! Is there anything more relaxing than laying on the beach or pool side, catching some sun, with your nose buried inside a book?

As much as I love reading, I honestly don’t get to enjoy it as often as I would like. Trips to the actual book store a treat and don’t happen very often. While I still love to hold a real book in my hands, e-books have quickly become a convienent way for me to have the latest reads.

I thought my problems were fixed. But have you tried to read a book while on a treadmill? Maybe it’s just me, but I loose my place all the time! And if you want to exercise outside, forget it. And that tropical scene we were talking about earlier? Again, maybe it’s just me, but the sun has other plans for me and it doesn’t include reading. Usually there is a glare on my tablet screen or I have to lay kind of funky. No thank you.

In steps audiobooks! Now, I can listen to my favorite books which means while I work out. And while I’m on vacation. And I can even catch up while I’m in my car!

Remember when you were little and the teacher would do different voices for all of the characters? I loved that! Didn’t you? Audiobooks are narrated in ways that make the story completely come alive!

I personally really love Audible. It allows you to listen anywhere at anytime. Just download the free Audible app on your smartphone or tablet. And can we talk about selection? Audible has over 150,000 titles in every genre you can think of. Best sellers? Yep! Classics? Yes! Children’s books? You bet!

And speaking of children’s books…

Josh loves Audiobooks! When we planned our vacation to New Hampshire it was awesome to have Audible. Josh would pick out a book, listen to it on the way and when it was over he would just select a new book. And we didn’t have to worry about losing library books or bringing (even more) stuff with us in the car!

When you start with Audible you get to try it out with a free book. How cool is that?! And be sure to check out Coupons.com Audible coupon codes!

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel like I am running non-stop. I get up early, drive Josh to school (with our two dogs in tow), stop by my Mom’s house to help her, run errands, work, run back to pick Josh up from school, go to the dog park, come home, make dinner, clean up dinner, and by then it’s time for this old lady to be in bed!

One thing that goes with me everywhere (besides my son and pups!) is my purse. Let’s face it. If you are anything like me you have anything and everything you could ever need in it. In a pinch, my purse has something for me to Macgyver just about any situation. It’s my safety net!

So I was curious. What do you all keep in your purse? Today, I’m sharing some of the things in mine!

• My wallet. Inside I keep the basics: cash, drivers license, credit cards, band-aids, all those shopper’s cards and of course, a bazillion receipts for mostly useless purchases. (The important purchases? Well, I’ve learned that somehow those receipts generally get thrown away. Go figure huh?)
• Hair Stuff. Rubber band? Check. Back up rubber band? Check. Back up to the back up? Check. And if all else fails there is the clip. Everyone should have a clip.

• Make-up. I don’t keep a lot of make up, but I do have the basics including my favorite lip gloss, foundation and mascara. I usually have a few make-up brushes looming at the bottom of my bag too.
• Video Camera. Why? Well, because my son insisted on bringing it with us to the park and once we got there he asked me to hold on to it. That was last week. It hasn’t moved. Don’t judge.
• Pens. Usually you can’t find one, but they are there at the very bottom. Chances are when you pull one out it won’t write, but just stick it back in the bag. Who knows. Maybe next time it will work!
• A snack. In my case I’m a little obsessed with SNICKERS Peanut Butter Squares. (You should totally also check out the SNICKERS Extreme and SNICKERS Almond!)

With all of the things on my Mom-To-Do-List, sometimes I forget to grab breakfast. Or late afternoon I realize that the coffee I had this morning really wasn’t enough to hold me over. I’m hungry! With so much to do – ain’t nobody got time for that! Hungry moms do crazy things! Hungry moms say funny stuff! Hungry moms are NOT a good thing!

I don’t want to be a hungry mom! So I keep SNICKERS in my purse. I pick one up when I am at the Speedway gas station. Convenient huh? Throw a couple in my bag and when I find myself being a crazy, hungry Mom, I can pull one out. Have you had these?

The packages come with 4 squares of peanut butter bliss.

The squares are filled with peanut butter, peanuts, and caramel all covered in milk chocolate. Pop one of these into your mouth and your Hungry Moment just slips away.

So I want to know! What is in your purse? Do you have something to keep the hungry moments away?
