I love the dollar store. It's the only place I don't have to check the price tag before I make a purchase. Latest dollar store find: chinese lanterns. I've always wanted to string them up in the backyard to light a summer party. Floating, glimmering lights, like over-grown fireflies.
Little bit of advice for moms of little ones: don't waste the time you have when your kidlings are occupied by doing something useful. Use it for reading a bit of your favorite book. Look at the latest issue of your favorite magazine. Drink a cup of whatever you fancy and daydream for a few minutes.
WHAT? They have chinese lanterns at your dollar store? That is ridiculous! Are they the big ones? I purchased tons in Chinatown last summer for a couple weddings I did and we ended up stringing them up on our back patio, too. I periodically paint them different colors. ;) But they were $3 a piece. I thought that was a good deal at the time. Grrrr.
