Mama's Got a Brand New Bag

My new Henry Brown bag arrived yesterday - it's fabulous! And, the lovely ladies at Henry Brown included a coffee cozy as a "thank you" for mentioning the company on my blog. My pleasure, gals! (I tried to pick one of the least cluttered spots on my desk to take this photo, so sorry it's not the most attractive background and the lighting is poor.) I received many compliments on the bag last night at a Junior League committee meeting, so looks like I made a good choice. And, it's very roomy with plenty of pockets, so I can throw my portfolio and other work items in there, in addition to a couple of diapers, yet not lose track of my Blackberry, lipstick, keys and other small items.

I want to thank everyone again for their kind words and prayers for the family at our children's preschool who lost their son. I pray that they will be granted strength during this very difficult time.

I hope y'all have a great weekend! If the weather improves, we're going to try to get to the pumpkin patch at some point. Next weekend is the Halloween event my JL group has been planning for a local cancer organization. I think everything is coming together so that children who are affected by cancer can take their mind off of things for a few hours and celebrate with tricks and treats!
