I have been thinking about common luxuries in my life. Things that we did not use growing up but I have become so accustomed to now they are almost necessities.
DRYER SHEETS: We did not use the dryer much when I was young. My Mom would go through the extra work of hanging the laundry outside. There is nothing quite like the neighbors being able to see your undies that make those awkward years that much more awkward. We use our dryer and our dryer sheets. I usually just use whatever is cheapest but love it when Garry does the shopping because he usually buys the good stuff. We're using Bounce now. We smell nice.
BUTTER SPRAY: Growing up, we'd just butter the pan by, well, spreading butter on the pan. Now we use butter spray. Garry bought some yesterday with a childproof cap. How sophisticated is that?
MCDONALDS: My sister has a favorite diary entry about a trip to McDonalds. Apparently my Mom told her not to get used to it -- it was a special occasion. My kids do not consider McDonalds to be a special occasion. They consider it to be lunch. And sometimes dinner. And sometimes breakfast.
FRUIT SNACKS & GRANOLA BARS: Is there anything better than being able to give a cranky, tired child a fruit snack or a granola bar? Yep, that's a necessity now.
So what are your common luxuries?
