I was thinking this morning that getting to know some Amity mamas through a sample of their daily routines would be fun! Just send a sampling of what a day is like for you in a swap box. It could sort of be similar to the "local area" swap only more personal. For example:

the tea you have at breakfast

a memento from your favorite lunch spot

a souvenir from your favorite kid friendly hang out in the afternoon

your favorite way to unwind

your favorite soap in the shower

a book by your fave author

I'm just going to go through my daily routine adding whatever I can from what we do that day. Even little pictures your kids draw, crafts you are working on (maybe make an extra), if you use a specific chore list/program maybe include a sample of that. Am I making sense?

Let's make this a $20 swap. I'll take sign-ups for a week or so (or until it seems like we have everyone interested, lol) and post the list by the 20th. Ship by 8/14 with delivery confirmation.

Anyone want to play?

ABOUT ME:

I'm pagan, but would welcome non-preachy information on other religions (for example, if you say a specific prayer each morning, I would love a copy of it, kwim?) I intend to include a few pagan-ish things in my box, but nothing too specifically offensive to non-pagans.

We'll eat anything. The worse it is for you, the better. Expect Nutella from me :P.

Kids are 5yo girl, 4yo boy, 1yo girl. We hate Bratz, but I don't really care what comes in the box. I just won't guarantee it will stick around long if it's a Bratz doll

.

I am just getting into Yoga and other workout stuff. I'm just trying some WATP.

We are totally easy to please. I want to truly get to know YOU (whoever you ends up being) so nothing will go unnoticed or un-appreciated as long as it is meaningful to you in some way.

This sounds really interesting Gwen. Count me in.

Funky Pioneer · 07-12-2006, 11:19 AM

sorry leaving board

Dannielle · 07-12-2006, 12:26 PM

I wanna play too...provided this ends in Aug lol

Korwynne · 07-12-2006, 01:00 PM

I might could do it, provided it's in August too.. this month is insane around here.

Edited to say that we've got a ton of allergies.. we can't have dairy, wheat/gluten, eggs, fish/shellfish, peanuts, treenuts, tomatoes, strawberries in melons. Leila has anaphalactic contact reactions and the rest of us have airborne irritation to our allergens, so I can't use bath/body products that contain wheat or dairy, strawberries, treenuts or peanuts. I do drink both coffee and tea, but nothing containing even artificial flavorings that mimic our allergens.

We're pagan, and my favorite colors are blues/greens/purples.. I don't exercise - but want to try bellydancing. I've got 3 kids.. Lindsey will be 5, Josh is 3 1/2, and Leila will be a year old by the ship date.

I dont think my life is that interesting but I am intrigued by the idea. Especially if its for August.

ETA: We are a coffee drinking (decaf mostly for me) family with no allergies. Well the baby seems to be senstive to wheat and dairy but she's doing well on mama milk for now.

We are not very religious/spiritual, but I am open to anything.

I have DS 5 and DD 8m.

I am in the process of starting an exerce program again, I used to be a fiend like Barb

but slacked off quite a bit in the last 1.5yr.

And I am still trying to figure out what is interesting enough about my life to send. lol

Barb · 07-12-2006, 05:17 PM

sounds like fun - i am in - (editing to add more info per the suggestion)

I'm an exercising mama , so most of my day involves working out - if theres another exercising mama out there she'd benefit from my package lol

We're practicing Christians so there is quite a bit of Christ in our daily lives.

i drink coffee and green tea (way too much of it)

My kids are very into characters and anything related to Disneyland

Soggy Granola · 07-12-2006, 06:43 PM

August 14 ok with everyone as a "ship by" date?

Do you have feedback anywhere? Like Ebay? If you've done txns here then start a feedback thread and ask everyone you've done biz with to post. Do you know any Amity mamas in person who could vouch (sp) for you?
