meet my two new best friends

My life has been changed DRASTICALLY by my two best friends. My aunt introduced me several weeks ago to them. She became acquainted with them, saw an improvement in her quality of life, and now I love them too! I love them because they know how to do their job well but be completely silent about it. I love them for the wrinkle protection they provide. Much less ironing for me! Most of all, I love them for their large capacity. I (seriously ladies...not overstating here) used to do 12-15 loads of laundry every single week! I was having to do it everyday. It was torture. After talking to Aunt Sharon, it started me thinking... and researching. After several weeks of setting up a good argument to win my hubby over (we are "use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without people"). I told him how much money we could save on our utility bill and how much happier I would be if I wasn't a slave to my family's dirty clothes. He consented. The next week these were delivered. Why am I telling you all of this? Well, today is laundry day and I will be doing all of my laundry in 3 maybe 4 loads! I feel lik eI have been parolled from a life sentence! That, and my electricity bill was 30 dollars less last month...what more could a girl want?

LOL!!! But seriously I can't believe your laundry really fits into that many loads now from 12-15!!!!! WOW! It will be fun to get new ones...but I'll have to wait till ours break....I always thought about getting the fun cherry red color since it is in your laundry room anyway and it doesn't have to match anything:)

amanda,
I had one of the samller capacity washers before. We had it forever - from before we had a big family. It was not very efficient either. It would usually take it 70 minutes to dry a load. Currently, I do 3 or 4 loads on wednesday and then 2 more on saturday. total of 5, now. Not bad from 12! The best part is that I don't have to do it every single dayto stay on top of it.

Hi Shahna...I found your blog through somewhere, just not sure who. It looks cute and so glad you joined bloggity-land.

I think the limited loads sounds great, but having a quiet washer and dryer sounds really fab-u-las! I just don't like all the noise, esp. when babies are sleeping. Congrat's on your new friends. ;)lol.

That is so cool. They became my new best friend this past week. Can I say that I love it? It is the best invention ever. It took years to convince Mark. I was sold from the beginning. Who knew that appliances would be the exciting thing to get?

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
