There once was a girl who had an ENTIRE week off for Spring Break (no lie)
And every morning she sent her cute husband off to work
She knew she couldn't waste the week away
So she did what any homemaker would do:
She spring cleaned her apartment (even washed the woodwork!)
She made a blanket with her mother
After going through all of the weekly ads, she drove around and bought groceries for all of the BEST prices!
Strawberries were on sale at Wal Mart for $.88 and she went CRAZY and called her mom and asked how to make strawberry jam
After hauling jars, strawberries, and sugar up the stairs to her apartment, she made 2 batches of delicious strawberry jam (and she's thinking she will make MORE tomorrow!)

And in the MIDDLE of this all, there was a knock at the door
The girl was confused because she wasn't expecting any visitors
She rushed to the door and to her surprise, she saw the UPS guy leaning a BIG box against her front door
"Tiffanie?" he asked handing her a board to sign
"Yes, that's me," she said taking the board with a questionable look on her face because she hadn't ordered anything?
The UPS guy said thank you and the girl dragged the big box that said Target on it, into her apartment
"We registered at Target for our baby!" she squealed picking up her phone to call her husband
She gave him a play by play, giggling the whole time, as she tore open the box
"It's a baby bath tub! And hooded towels and washcloths!" She screamed

How exciting! I love homemade jam!!
ReplyDeleteCute story! I love it. It is nice to have a break and feel like you can accomplish so many things :) Again this is Allison. I am too lazy to change to my google profile
ReplyDeleteWow!! You are in the nesting phase! Enjoy it while it lasts. When I was younger I never wanted to become my mother, but as I got older I realized that it was a good thing and several people have told me I am just like her. I say "thank You" I truly thing that it is a compliment to mothers out there when theie children want to be like them. You are right, you do have a great mom!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the time to do things like that now. Once baby comes it will take a little more effort to find a block of time big enough to make jam or, to want to get baby in and out of the car to go to the store! Being a mom is a whole new challange! Gotta love them!
ReplyDeleteThat jam looks delicious. It makes me want to put jam up. There is nothing like home made. You are an inspiration. Can hardly wait for the shower. Love ya, Colleen :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are very close in having that baby....I did the same thing my last couple of weeks. I have never seen my apartment so clean. I did not think I would have that much energy at that time.
ReplyDeleteYour mom does rock and so do you! Thank you so much for the phone call today, It really meant a lot to me. Love ya
ReplyDeleteKathryn

ReplyDeleteUm, wanna come to my house and teach me how to be a homemaker?
ReplyDelete(you MADE your own jam?? Wow, Tiff. So impressed)
