I have no "new" news to share, but while I was digging through my old posts and cleaning stuff up, I ran across this post that I'm pretty sure I never actually posted. So it's old. But I put work into it, so I'm posting it anyway.
So, a few days ago, my younger son asks me, "Mama, can I use this purse?" Thinking, the leather purse would make a nice messenger bag for a medieval page, I said 'sure'.
Moccasins.
But the good news is, the old purse contained one last package of Biscoffs cookies that I thought had been eaten years ago. I love those things. Eating it did help ease the hurt a bit. That and the excitement of seeing a 7 year old trying to sew his own moccasins.

You are an awesome Mommy. I would run with my purse clutched to my chest screaming MINE!
I know some mothers that would have instantly opted for some "special counseling" if their son asked for mommies old purse.
Go you. Encourage that creativity. Someday, after the robot/zombie revolution and preceding nuclear winter, you're son will still have warm feet.
Gasp! Thud!
I think you handled that way better than I would have.
Oh, My.
At least you got some good eats out of the deal.
And if any of my boys ever ask for one of my purses, I now know to ask questions.
Goodness, That's all I can say.
Yikes. That would have broken me!
