Keychain Wristlet & Mother’s day gifts!

May 10, 2011 by Lindsay

Does you have a hard time keeping track of your keys, wallet, cell phone and/or sunglasses? I do, and I like to blame it on the fact that I am usually toting three kids too!

My sister-in-law carries a wallet like this one from Vera Bradley. I received one for Christmas last year and I will never carry another wallet! I love the wrist strap and the way it zips open and you can just stuff all your money and receipts in it and sort through it when you get home.

Then when I stumbled across this tutorial for a wristlet keychain I got pretty excited! No more digging for keys in the bottom of the diaper bag!

I made a few today and I can’t wait to use them. They can even hang right next to my diaper bag on a hook! Now I just need to find a fashionable way to strap my cell phone and sunglasses to myself and I’ll be set

Do you spy some of my Mother’s day gifts in the background there?

At preschool my boys do the most adorable crafts. Their teachers use their hand, finger and footprints to make all sort of things and I love that! Andrew’s teacher made my handprints when I dropped him off one morning and put his on top of mine with a little poem about being hand and hand….so precious to me! But I have to admit that Joshua’s teacher gave me my favorite gift this year….

Isn’t that precious?! She photographed all the kids individually, printed out the pictures and framed them for all the mommy’s! I was extra surprised when I found out that she printed out extra of Joshua for me because she got such a good close-up….

Melt my heart! I can honestly say that this is my favorite picture ever taken of him. His personality is so wild but sweet at the same time and this picture just captures my sweet boy so well!
