So! The gift bags for the Federated Media cocktail party in New York were kind of jaw dropping thanks to a couple of good friends. Maile from Epiphanie Bags, the woman who did our family photoshoot, offered to give us a bunch of her camera bags:

Then our friends downstairs at Photojojo said they could get us some Fuji Instax Minis and film:

Are these gift bags ludicrous? Yes they are. Do you want one?
Leave a comment telling us something on your life list by Monday, August 30 at noon PST. Your comment enters you for a chance to win the Lola Epiphanie camerabag and Photojojo’s Fuji Instax Mini 25 Instant Camera. I hope you win, because I like you very much. Thanks for reading.
Now for the fine print: Please only leave one comment, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post on Monday.
Drive a Zamboni.
I have no idea how I’m going to make that happen, but one day . . .

Make fudge. I know this doesn’t seem like a worthy life list goal however it is harder than it looks. My grandmother made the best fudge in the whole entire world and she would make is special for me ever birthday and she promised that one day she would give me the recipe. Well, that didn’t happen due to circumstances outside of her control but I did get her recipe box and the fudge recipe(which she never followed exactly and doesn’t contain a secret ingredient, um thanks Grandma? ;D) So I have a life list goal of making fudge like my Grandma and maybe just feel a little closer to her on my birthday.

Take my mother on a trip somewhere amazing, just the two of us. She loves to explore and be surrounded by new scenery, but as a teacher she is usually limited to a room full of energetic seven-year-olds. My job doesn’t pay much (and I don’t get paid overtime!) so it’ll be tough…but someday, I want to find a way to show her how awesome she is.
