Turtles, Coughing Fits + Binder Clips

What do these things have in common?  Well not a lot...except for that they were all a part of my day today.

My daughter stayed home from school today with a persistent cough that's been bothering her for the last week.  She's a great kid and I'm so lucky...but you know how it is when you've got a sick kid at home and a pile of work to do?!  Anyhow...I needn't have worried about entertaining her because only a few hours into our day she discovered a wild turtle walking down the middle of our street.  Of course he was promptly given a name (Sheldon) and she's been busy looking after him ever since.  I remember wanting a pet turtle more than anything when I was about 8 years old...so watching her with him brings back wistful memories from my childhood.

Anyhow...with my daughter happily distracted I busied myself with a little tutorial that I posted over on Creature Comforts and then remembered that I found these awesome binder clips at Office Depot the other night that I wanted to share with you.

I love binder clips (they are perfect for hanging photos and art prints) and the brand new wall covered in colorful supplies at Office Depot did not disappoint.  They have just about any clip color you could want (I think they were only about $2), as well as push pins, paper clips, magnets, etc.  If you've got one near you and you geek out for office supplies as much as I do, then I recommend that you plan a trip soon.

What sorts of random things were a part of your day today?  Thanks for stopping by!  xo Ez

Just a wee update to let you all know that I found my binder clips for sale on the Office Depot website.  They are priced bit more than in stores, but if you don't have a store in your area this could be perfect for you.  xo
