My Kitchen MUST Haves -

I just got back from one of my most favorite places to browse around on a Saturday morning with some of my most favorite things from that place and thought maybe I'd take a chance and share them with you. How many of you LOVE doing the dishes or that constant house work --- who was that again? Anybody out there? I think one of the big problems with house work is that - well, it's always there - it's never finished, you do it once (a week or day), you turn around and - gag, it's B-A-C-K again! Well, I have found a few things that have helped me get through the drudgery that often times accompanies that CONSTANT, never ending house work, sometimes even with a smile on my face.

First, I LOVE this dish soap. In particular, the Ginger Pomelo fragrancce #15 (it's French, but I don't hold that against it - hey it still smells MARVELOUS! That's French for - oh sorry, wrong story). I may even be guilty of actually dirtying some dishes so I can fill my sink with this wonderful smelling liquid. I have given this as gifts to a select few, who look blankly at it and then me and I can tell they are thinking - "Gee, thanks - dish soap", but it's only because I know the fun that is in store for them. Much better smelling than that old Kirkland brand - everyone has that, NOT everyone has this - consider yourself LUCKY!
Next, who loves to dust - or clean walls and with old rags? How about these fancy cloths, and they work - SO GOOD, really, aren't they cute?

Who can resist this cute sponge while deep in the duty of cleaning those dishes with the lovely smelling bubbles? Better than the old ordinary square or rectangle sponge, it's a cute flower. Reminder that spring is here, and summer is just around the corner.

Have you browsed my favorite little store - and if so what are some of your favorite things they have there?

Also - I have had my eye on these swinging little PeeWee's for a while now - and since we are adding another little guy to our family - I finally nabbed them. I am dreaming right now of washing dishes, cleaning up messes with my nifty cloths and cuddling my new little one sporting these styling socks!

Happy Easter (early)

We had our Easter dinner/activity with the Kiddo's on Sunday. It was yummy and lots of fun.

Then - outside to find little treats the Easter Bunny left there -

Some happy kid's with lots of treats (to last until the real day)

Rise and SHOUT!

They got it DONE!

Swordfighter "El Natural"

I watched the kids tonight and we decided to "go to the Wii Resort" for a few activities -

Berlynn decided to try her -- arm -- at swordfighting and again, we have a natural. It started out simple enough, she won easily and laughed and laughed -
She played again - won
And again - won
Yet again - won

And still again - won

In fact, she won them all! She showed NO mercy to her opponents and laughed and giggled as they ultimately fell to her sword. WHAT a competitor!

It was a fantastic work out and we got the biggest kick out of it - so, what's your favorite activity at the "Resort?"
