This is the way we scrub the floor, scrub the floor, scrub the floor .....

This year for the BYU vs. Utah football game, we invited some friends over.  We had lots of yummy food, lots of groaning, and a few cheers (mainly by our UofU friends who came ... boo).  But, before we could have people over, we definitely needed to mop our floors.  One of the worst things about having a large kitchen is the floors.  Takes FOREVER to get them swept and mopped.  Well, unless we get everyone to help!  It's a good thing we have plenty of rags ... because everyone likes to help "foot-mop."  Even if it's only so they can slide around on the wet floor after they've mopped!

You know, that's a TERRIFIC idea! I don't have as much floor to scrub as you do, but what a clever idea...I will have to have that kind of help here soon since this baby is getting close to coming. :) :)

That is a very clever idea. A great way to make cleaning fun!
So sorry about the game. Towards the end I started feeling really bad for your "Y" guys. I kept wishing the Utes would drop it, or something. Or that there was a mercy rule like they have in little league games. :( I never like watching any sporting event where someone gets blown out of the water. Close games are MUCH more fun.

It's always nice to have helpers that are actually of help...

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
