2 years ago - love G's choco-brow! |
My DH is at work, my allergies are holding me prisoner indoors, so I sent the kids outside fly to their new kites. Yup, after sharing G's Barbie kite all week, I was lucky enough to find a few on clearance at Meijer. AND some swim goggles. After weeks of listening to the kids fight over 2 pairs, I found some quality goggles for $5, not $20 like most of them seem to be. Yippee! We're happy until one gets lost again. I find that no matter how many pool toys I have, we still seem to end up with 2, leaving 1 kid out. Murphy's Law of Motherhood.
But, I digress. Back to making scents, and senses.
Top food cooking scents IMO:
- Roasting Garlic in Olive Oil
- Brownies baking
- Coffee, strong enough to grow chest hair
- Garlic Bread
- Italian food
- Garlicky New Dill Pickles
- Sauerkraut (yup, I'm Polish AND German)
- Irish Beef Stew (and Irish)
- Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Coconut
- Any kind of Pie
- Roasting Turkey
- Anything with Rosemary, Cilantro, Lemon, Butter or Cinnamon

Top scents, non-food:
- Babies
- Lavender - I love Johnson's for creating Lavender Bedtime baby shampoo. Combine babies + lavender = sweet! What could be better? AND, it calms and soothes them.
- Lilacs
- Campfires
- BBQ Grill - does that belong in the food category?
- Word burning craft sets - remember those fun, dangerous little gadgets?
- Burnt wooden matches
- Spring mornings
- Autumn in Michigan
- Burning leaves
- Pine Christmas trees
- Fresh-cut grass
- Gasoline - yeah weird, I know
- Aveda Products - I use a knock-off brand sold by Sally's - Aura
- Pantene Hair products - my daughter's brand of choice
- Neutrogena original scent
- Murphy's Oil Soap
- Men ;}
- Swimming pools
- Fresh laundered towels
- Sears (High School/College job. It still takes me back when I walk through the doors of a Sears - a delightful mix of clothing, towels, furniture, major appliances, tires, paint, hardware, frozen cokes and hot pretzels)
- New tennis shoes in a box
- Hot-off-the-press printed materials (I miss press checks!)
- Crayons
- Pencil Shavings
- Rubber Cement
- Art Gum erasers
- Elmer's glue
- Toxic, solvent-based markers - takes me back to art school. Imagine a classroom with 20+ students, each drawing up a frenzied cloud with 100+ markers each...can you say BUZZ? Yippee! That's how creativity happens. And you thought artists were born with talent. :}
