DYING!

I have been DYYIINNGGG to bake recently. I'm almost certain I get that from my mother. All of my fondest childhood memories are of me sitting at the kitchen table watching her kneading and rolling the perfect pie crust. Lately, I have been seriously craving the baking bug and it seems as though everytime I go to the grocery store I seem to forget major ingredients--baking powder, baking soda, butter, eggs, milk, brown sugar, etc.... As you can see I probably get a little caught up when I go grocery shopping.

I am hoping by at least tomorrow night I will be able to finally get some baking done!! :) In the meantime I should probably get back to trying to find a job. It's so frustrating right now looking for work, but I am trying to keep my head up. I look forward to the day when I can say I am stable and I have a great job and I love it. I realize my first job won't be the "dream job," but at this point I am just ready and rearing to get some experience under my belt!

Anyway, since I won't be posting any baking photos, I decided I would post pics of what's in my purse!


Clockwise from the top:
1. Pocahontas Book for the kids when they get bored during possible long car rides or doctor visits
2. Beatrix potter notebook (for notes, to do lists, etc)
3. Prada eyeglasses (because I can't see anything at night when I drive home from work)
4. Aveda Peppermint oil (for those naughty mid-day headaches) 
5. Vera Bradley sunglass case which holds my ebay $10 cat eye sunglasses
6. My chunky Bolivian egg necklace from my brother's gf 
7. My TOTES Umbrella--perfect for those unexpected rainy days in the Garden State!
8. Aveda Hand relief ...enough said.
9. Bath and Body Works Coconut Hand sanitizer
10. Lancome Bronze Tropicale! 
12. My pretty green wallet--present from my friend Jess
13. My trusty L'oreal Carbon Black mascara for mid-day touch-ups!
