Moms and their toys

So as some of you know we recently bought a house and we are doing quite a bit of renovating. I spent almost two weeks running back and forth to bring hubs food, going to home depot and running wherever else I needed to go to get stuff for the house. Plus we have had to make tons of hard decisions like paint, floors, hardware, cabinets, appliances and so on.

It's been a tough process and especially hard on Mike and his body. He was working from 9am to 11pm each day for two weeks. And with no days off. Now he is back to work and will be working on the house after work each day. I do what I can to help out but doing reno with two young kids running around isn't exactly easy. They get in the way a lot and almost make the tasks not worth me trying to do it.

One thing about this whole process that is exciting for me, well with the exception of practically designing the whole house is the appliances. As a mom there are a few things that I do weekly if not daily. A few of those things are vacuuming and laundry. Well with a new house we decided to get net appliances and such. I got a new amazing vacuum yesterday that I spent $140 on and it was worth every penny! I have used it twice already and its incredible!!!!!! In two days my brand new washer and dryer will arrive which I am extremely excited about. They should cut my laundry time in half hopefully and the washer self cleans. I'm sure everyone who does their own laundry can understand how amazing this would be. Its so annoying to have to clean out your washer!

We are also getting a new fridge and microwave. The fridge is like a dream come true. The size looks to be perfect and it has tons of space and compartments made for specific things. And everything is see through and right in front of your face so no more bending down and peeking through drawers to see what's hiding in them. No more searching for a place to put something because all the shelves are full. And no more empty soda boxes in the fridge because I didn't know Mike finished his soda!

I know to some people these things seem insignificant. But to me they are like a dream come true. These few things will make my life every day so much simpler. It all makes me that much more excited to move into my new house to start my everyday tasks to use all my cool new toys! In less than a month we will be moved into our new house and I can begin to use all of these wonderful new things. Times like these are what make me really appreciate technology!
