The Fruit Bowl





So, I buy this fruit bowl last month thinking I need a simple centerpiece for my kitchen table or island.

Being a mother with little time, my thought process is: I'll fill it with some nice, green, granny smith apples and put it on display. Cheap, easy, simple...and it will complement my color scheme.

Great idea, right?



So, now, fast forward one month.

Where is my fruit bowl?

Oh, it is a centerpiece all right. In one of the very places I was imagining.

Well, HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?

Certainly not granny smith like.

In the land of motherhood, I guess practicality wins. It makes a very snazzy holder on my makeshift table, though.

I vote for the apples - diapers just don't look that appetizing!

Hey, whatever works! I like the chair your baby girl is sitting in. Gotta get one of those!

I think Isabel should be the centerpiece! She is the cutest! Hey, you'e seen my "soccer net/fireplace screen" I think it will catch on...

Too funny! Well shoot it certainly does a nice job of holding the diapers, right?

Now, more importantly, I RELY on you to tell me about the fabulous baby gear you have field tested and did you mention a word about that neat squishy-looking lime green chair that the princess is sitting in so casually? Nope. Not one peep. How am I to know what it is, if it's good, if I need to run out and add it to my registry?

Spill it, babe! :-)
