Vera Bradley. Melissa and I are all about them...I think you should join the club. They come in many different shapes and sizes, and just about a bazillion designs and colors. And they're sturdy. I took my Piccadilly Plum tote to class with me everyday for two years, and the handles just started to fray (but not break) at the close of four book-filled semesters. Check out the full collection at www.verabradley.com, but if you want free monogramming order it from www.amongtheflowers.com. Geez...I sound like a distributor... I'm really not a dork...I swear :)Megasuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08792478898298614838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457950631635966154.post-75307296910600122272007-10-17T19:26:00.000-05:002007-10-17T19:26:00.000-05:00I love your shopping cart idea!!

I did try my part tonight though, took her to my closet and had her take a look at the purses I had just in case one of them was going to make the "perfect toddler bag" but it was a not go. Sorry but I tried. Thanks for sharing her tonight, it was so neat to have two of the three sitting here with us tonight, brought back old memories of when my children were home.

Maybe someone can suggest a good therapist for her husband who has to endure yet another purse/diaper bag drama. I can still remember when S. received a Kate Spad (how every you spell it) for her birthday. I can still remember her glorious words, "I will never need another bag again." I remember how my heart jumpped for joy! Yes, I am even more blessed to have found this women than I originally thought. However, I soon learned that the words "I will never need..." really meant 6 months in "women speak." So, after all of you make recommendations for my beautiful wife's next purse/diaper bag combo, please remember to also suggest a good therapist for me :) PS - Strangely enough, this is one of the reasons I love my wife so much and why I do tell people "look, there she is, my wife."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457950631635966154.post-11778707685629745152007-10-15T21:56:00.000-05:002007-10-15T21:56:00.000-05:00Ya know, I have heard that the diaper bag they send home with you from the hospital is the best. Not too big not too small. I am saving mine for just a time such as yours! Second, the Meijer here has cup holders on the carts, and a little basket in the middle part of the handle to either, a) put your keys on or b) hold your coupon wallet thingy!lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457950631635966154.post-65777009127640178112007-10-15T21:21:00.000-05:002007-10-15T21:21:00.000-05:00my best bag suggestion is an l.l. bean boat and tote bag: www.llbean.com.

I'm proud of you, Chicken Pot pie, you have expanded your horizon.

Where is your recipe from? Mine was from Martha Stewart's Food and it was ok - don't know if we'll make it again though.<BR/><BR/>I think we should find you a designer so we can get this shopping cart made before i have kids - we both know how much i'll be at the Starbucks in Target!Chris &amp; Abbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06426479323266452181noreply@blogger.com
