Gotta Love 'em!

So, this weekend I had to work.

Which means a lot of time away from my home, children, husband, washing machine.

Which means I woke up today to a pile of laundry like I've never seen before. It was surreal.

It stopped me in my tracks and took my breath away...and was totally a laugh or cry moment.

I chose to laugh...life's so much better when you can laugh!

But, lemme tell you about the conversation I had with Mr. Wonderful:

Me, "Gosh, ah...hon. You coulda thrown in a load of laundry while I was working!"

He beams at me, full of pride, "But, I did!!"

Warming inside at the kindness and thoughtfulness of my hubby, and grateful for finding such an awesome dude, I carried on with getting kiddos off to school...and then snuggling back into bed to wait for the littles to wake.

After our morning was really goin' strong, I decided to tackle the laundry...I went to empty the dryer...and what did I find?

Coats.

And in the washer?

The Mr.'s Carharts.

Ahem...thanks hon...but, not quite the help I was referring to this morning!!

93 loads of later, I can sort of, maybe, possibly, kinda tell I'm perhaps beginning to make a dent in the laundry!

And, I just hafta smile...

  2. Oh, your story made me laugh! What a dear husband, proud of himself for helping you.

    Mothering five? Having four (and all sons) has been quite a challenge -- but an enormous blessing.

    Come on over to OutnumberedMom.com for some mom inspiration and encouragement!

  4. Too funny! I have those moments all the time, where the dirty laundry has started to spill our of our hamper, onto the floor of our bedroom, out into the hallway ... and there's just two of us right now. :)

  5. Sounds like my house! It feels like I have 8 trillion loads of laundry left after doing it all day! I can't stand this never ending chore!!!

  6. My hubby likes to brag about how he does laundry.

    Which means he starts a load and then forgets about it.

  8. It is sweet how the guy try to help and you just got to appreciate it even if it's not exactly what we would consider especially "helpful" - at least their heart is in the right place! Which reminds, I once again can not see the floor of my laundry room, best get to work!

  11. Too funny! Unfortunately, you just reminded me that I have to wash all the sheets and towels in the house tomorrow- ugh!!

  12. my husband thinks we should just let our kids wear towels. That way, no clothes. I reminded him we'd still have to wash the towels and they tended to create very large loads. There is just no getting around laundry!

  13. i wish i could get my husband to do laundry. even if it was just his coats

  14. Too funny. Between work and blogging, I'm afraid my husband is doing way more than his share of the laundry. Fortunately he's good at it.
    I just wanted to let you know the story about Matt and Melissa is airing Wednesday. Thanks for the tip. It's really a heart warming story. What a great family. The family in Windom that rescued them was awesome, too.

  17. Oh my husband does that too! He puts his carharts in and if he remembers then he will try the rest of the laundry out.

  18. It must be a guy thing. My hubby did the same thing this weekend. I didn't have to work but I wasn't feel as good as I would've liked. So he was all 'yeah...I'll help out.' He washed a pair of shoes. LOL So now, 2 days into playing catch up & I only have 5 loads left to do. (And I would really love to know how we went through that much in 2 days)

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte
