Really?: Touch and Brush, Boogie Wipes edition

I've decided to add a new, regular feature to my blog called "Really?" This feature will include various subtopics. Today's is dedicated to absurdly stupid products (IMO).


Walking through the grocery store yesterday I came across a product on the diaper aisle called "Boogie Wipes." Essentially they were wet wipes to wipe your child's snotty nose with. Really? Who needs this? You can use a tissue or wet wipe for the same purpose - and those can also be used for other things!


Then, watching television later in the day I saw a "Touch and Brush" toothpaste dispenser. Really? As a society, are we incapable of dispensing our own toothpaste. The product touts it delivers the perfect amount every time with little or no mess. Well, I can do that too - can I claim this service should retail for $90 (like Touch and Brush does?) Really? Really?

OK, I've got to go blow my nose now and brush my teeth - both the old-fashioned, time-proven ways!!

More than a story

How will you be spending Holy Week? Since ending one job and taking some time for myself before beginning another, I'll be spending a great deal of it cleaning, sorting, putting away and generally trying to declutter my house. I also hope to knit some since I haven't made time for it lately.
I also want to spend some time reflecting on God's goodness and the blessings in my life. Like my wonderful husband, sweet, sweet little boy, fabulous younger sister, roof over my head, job to pay the bills and live life on.... you get the picture.
May God's blessings and mercy be with you this week.
