Bags!

Besides being obsessed with the color green, cooking (more about that another time) and gift cards, I am now infatuated with recyclable canvas bags! I've been conscious of "BYOB" (bring-ing your own bag) for sometime now - especially to the grocery stores - because I have been so tired of getting an endless supply of plastic bags everytime coming out of a store. I've even made it a habit to have used paper bags handy in the car. (Plus, some stores give you .03 or .05 cent back for every bag you bring!)

But now, I'm even more conscious of the kinds of recyclable bags they have at the stores. They're the ones that you can purchase at the checkout for usually 99cents. The first bag I bought was the greenbag, one that folds into the size of an index card, so you can put it in your purse, in case of those unexpected buys when you forget to bring a bag. Then I couldn't resist the khaki tote that looks like my friend's yelp.com bag (which I'm still hoping to get a hold of one day), because those have become my favorite type of bag - with the long handles, it's sturdy and even has a backing for the bottom. Then I was at Whole Foods, who I think are the ones who made this whole revolution a phenomenon, and I was going to just check out their original dark green "Whole Foods" labeled bag, but I fell in love at first sight with their lime green "-1" bag instead. "-1" meaning one less plastic bag used to bag my grocery! I had to have it!

I think these grocery bags have become more than just recyclable bags that you use. It has become such a fad that you don't just use them to carry groceries. SO many stores have produced like bags of different sizes, colors, styles, that I think it has become my new collectible item!

So far to date, I have 3 bags...and 32 gift cards collected! More to come! =P

We got Yelp!-ed

Is this what turning 30 is all about?

Technology illiterate?!

Am I already that kind of mom who doesn't know what my son knows? =P (Good thing he's only 17-mos, but he loves clicking on the mouse and keyboard already!)

I am on Facebook, but not really really on it like most people, and one of my past clients just suggested that I create a Facebook page of my business. It took me so long just to figure out yelp.com and now I have to figure out another website? Is all this technology just too much for someone old like me?! There are a million things I would love to do for my business and I wish I had all the time in the world to do them. I wish I could be online all the time too, like I used to before the baby. But now, all moms would probably agree that we just don't have that kind of time anymore.

But after some nights of yelp!-ing around, we have 5 star reviews!
