If there is one household chore I can't stand doing it is LAUNDRY! Here is what happens: Dirty clothes get piled up in bathroom, I can't find anything to wear so i decide to do laundry, I want it all done NOW so i fill the washer too full, then it takes 2x longer in the dryer, then i stack it all on my bed when it comes out of the dryer, then I do more loads and the pile gets bigger and bigger and I don't feel like folding it so it sits there for a long time and I dig out clothes to wear. Huh, not working for me so I decide to make a New Year resolution to keep on top of my laundry. Ladies, it works...Do one full load of laundry a day. As soon as they are done drying fold them as they come out of the dryer. By doing one load a day I don't have nearly as much going into the washer therefore I don't have to fold a lot coming out of the dryer. TADA! (okay, so maybe this isn't genius, but why didn't someone tell me to simplify my laundry 5 years ago!)

P.S. You are not looking at my dirty laundry, you are looking at someone elses that I found on google :)

Lifesaver


I am well aware there have been some mixed feelings about "Baby Einsteins" and having your child watching TV before the age of 2, BUT for my sanity 1/2 hour here and there isn't going to hurt anyone. SHE LOVES "Baby Einsteins." She can be throwing a full on tantrum and the minute the little puppets come onto the screen she is so excited! Why would I want to deprive my child of that joy?

On another note, we just finished painting our living room/dining room. This picture gives you a glimpse. I was so sick of white walls. We are happy with the way it turned out.

Oh, and is anyone else done with the snow and ready for this...?
