Some days when I am feeling a little blue for whatever reason (as of late it is furlough schedule and smaller paychecks … blah), I look up a quote to push me through my moment. I came across this one today and I LOVE it!!
Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same. ~Francesca Reigler
Today I decided to venture into Sacramento to check out the Food Coop. I was being frugal in my shopping today as it is one of those weeks where $ is limited. I did however walk out of there with some sweet local honey (which was a little cheaper than my regular source) and some yummy organic gala apples for $1.99/lb. I would go back but it was a bit of a trek to do weekly (coming from EDH that is!)
While I was in the area I popped on over to one of my favorite little gift shops in town. Mixed Bag is on K and 24th. It has a little bit of everything for just about anyone!! I like to stock up on greeting cards when I am there. They also have festive party goods (napkins and plates), garden flags, baby gifts, fun lotions and potions, soaps, candles, handmade jewelry & wrapping paper. You can also get silly things like sock monkeys or even a purse clip. They have so much. When you go, be sure to go kid free and set aside time to wander. It is a true gem and I guarantee that you will find something if not for someone else – for yourself!! So head on over to Mixed Bag for your next gift purchase – I promise you will have fun!
