Thrifty Mommy

Scrap booking contest for real women (and men too)

by kellys on October 31st, 2006

Real women scrapConfession time…  I don’t scrapbook.  I know it is the worst sin a mother can make except for leaving your kid in the car without climate control.  Don’t write about me, Jay.  HAHA!

I know that most of my friends either scrapbook or at least get the pictures into photo albums before the kids start school.  I have done neither but it is on my list.  What does this have to do with being thrifty?  Simple.  Parents need to take time for their selves to enjoy everything else in life.  Getting caught up in the business of life is just not healthy for anyone, especially the one who is responsible for the household.

IMHO, parents should spend their time keeping the house in order and playing with the kids.  Unfortunately jobs tend to get in the way.  But PLEASE don’t forget to rejuvenate yourself every once in a while.  The kids take naps, the teenagers hang out with friends, the parents find something else to work on as a chore?  I don’t see the logic in that.

So here is a fun way to give yourself some pampering time while having a little fun.  Tasra Dawson has begun a great little contest on scrapbooking.  The Real Woman Scrap Contest is alive and well.  Tasra wants your best, most meaningful scrapbook creations.  The contest is to celebrate the “first book for career women and busy moms that uses scrapbooking as a metaphor to teach life lessons.”  There are some fabulous prizes to be had.  So come on, moms!  Scrap until your heart is content and then get out there and win!!!!

Oh, yeah, let me know how you do…
