I'm a self professed candle addict and I can't walk by a candle store without going in to take a look. Who am I kidding? I never just look. I always need one more candle that makes my home smell like I just baked an apple pie. 

With all the candle scents that have been created, I thought about coming up with my own. Not sure if there'd be any best sellers in there but we all can't have a candle called "Paradise" burning all the time.

Morning Breakfast  This scent is reminiscent of many rushed mornings and has a blend of sweet, sugary cereal and spilled milk. There is a slight, citrusy hint of orange juice..not too much, but just enough to make you remember how kids never seem to finish what's in their cup.

Home From School Sick  An overpowering aroma of "someone's faking it" followed by the sweet smell of "sorry, you can't go out later and play with your friends".

Adult Sick Day  Light and breezy with the scent of coconut tanning oil and the warmth of abundant sunshine.

Ex-Husband  This passive-aggressive aroma sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Typically on the Saturday night you finally have plans and he needs to switch weekends. It almost smells like lilacs and daisies for a moment, but then the unmistakable aroma of my life is far more important than yours follows you for hours until it evolves into the comforting smell of pizza and juice boxes.

Cat Pan  No matter how hard you try, this scent is always one poop ahead of your scoop. The minute you smell the waft of that nice, clean kitty litter, you'll be overcome with the nauseating smell of the result of your cat eating ocean fresh white fish in a rich, nasty gravy.

Hot Buttered Bank Teller  So perfectly tan and perky but then there are those occasional moody undertones of "I'm sorry, those funds aren't available yet".

School Project  This scent will remind you of the stale smell of Office Maxx combined with a hint of Elmer's Glue. This candle will typically be lit at the last minute or when all the stores are closed and the project is due the next morning.

Purple Laundry  A lovely lavender color the seeps all over everything that was white to begin with. The scent of a child's grape lipgloss fragrantly reminds you to clean out everyone's pockets.

I Just Mopped The Floor  That unmistakenly glorious lemon fresh smell that you worked so hard to enjoy....followed by undertones of dripping juice boxes and muddy feet. Perfect during summer vacation.

Kid's Bedtime  Part tutti-fruitti shampoo scented hair, part favorite old blankie and a good book. It smells like comfort and sweet dreams.
