About two months ago, I made a decision that would forever change my life for the better…
I got a maid service.
I know what you’re thinking…
“Wow – she must be rich.” (No, we’re not.)
“Doesn’t she only work part-time? She only has one kid. She has plenty of time to clean!” (I know, I know!)
Y’all.
It is SO worth it.
They come every other week. I still pick up millions of toys, do countless loads of laundry, load-unload-load-unload-load-unload the dishwasher, vacuum tumbleweeds of dog hair daily and sweep up puffs and Cheerios that are scattered all over the floor.
But to know that I don’t have to do the deep cleaning that my house needs is so…freeing!! I was really starting to feel dragged down by all the cleaning. And a dirty house bothers me so much more now that I’m home…in it all day.
And on the days when the maids come to clean – when I get home from running errands and my house looks like something out of a magazine…ahhhhhh. Such an amazing feeling.
I know it’s an extra expense and I’m blessed that we are able to afford it.
But I’m so happy I did it!
We had some professional photos taken back in May that I forgot to post. I love how they turned out!
Graham is 9 months!

Showing some Waumba Land spirit! P.S. This is one of my all time fav pics of you. 🙂 |
Helping fold a mountain of laundry. |
Oh my goodness – can this pic be any more adorable?!?! |
You also love swinging in your swing. Sometimes it’s too much fun and it wears you out. 🙂
I swear we normally put clothes on you when we take you outside! The baby pool pic and the swing pic were from the same day. |
You saw your first Laser Show. I was afraid the fireworks and loud music would scare you, but you loved it! You were mesmerized the entire time.
Eatin’ Cherrios with chopsticks! |
The Breastfeeding Diaries
By sunshineandholly on July 17, 2013Julie over at The Girl in the Red Shoes is an awesome blogger with the cutest little boy that was born just 3 days after Graham. I love reading about her life and seeing her little guy grow. She has a series on her blog called “The Breastfeeding Diaries.” All the stories are great – very encouraging to new moms.
