Laundry day

Lucy's birthday party is over with, so that means back to real life chores. No more time can be wasted trying to find the perfect cupcake liners. I have been attacking the laundry monster ALL. DAY. LONG. I generally don't mind laundry. The clothes come out all warm and smell amazing. Thank you Bounce dryer bar. If you dont use one of those, you need to go buy one today, they are great. I also really love folding the clothes and putting them away. Sometimes my love for Pinterest overpowers my love of laundry though :)

Tonight I get to tackle the dish monster. Our stupid dishwasher has not been  working for 6 months. We even had someone come out and "fix" it for $80 two months ago. Still isn't working. One of the most frustrating things in the world is to open the dishwasher and see last nights spaghetti sauce still hanging out with all of your dishes. And next to scrubbing the toilet bowl, my 2nd most hated chore is washing dishes by hand. When George and I first got married I washed dishes by hand for about 9 months. VOLUNTARILY. We had a perfectly good dishwasher. But for some crazy reason I thought I was being an awesome wife since I didnt require the dishwasher's help. HAHAHAHA!!! Oh man. 2 kids, and about 50 sippy cups and plastic spoons later I now have a brain and have welcomed the dishwasher on my team. If only it would work.

 

Lets get ready to PARTAY!

 My little love's first birthday party is tomorrow morning and I am so excited! Today is a busy, busy day of getting everything ready. I have been very proud of myself planning this party because I have actually not procrastinated! All I have to do today is worry about the food. OK, and I do need to pick up some last odds and ends :)

I was going to get Sam's to make the cupcakes (30 for $12.99!) but when I asked them if they would bake them in the cupcake wrappers I had already purchased from this adorable Etsy shop they said NO! So, I am off to make them myself. And by "make myself" I mean I will open up a box of Betty Crocker cake mix.

BUT! I do have to actually make the butter cream frosting myself. I have been researching on Pinterest for tips on awesome cupcakes, and have read that canned frosting is a no-no. I hope I dont screw this up. Im always so impatient. I hate waiting for cupcakes to cool. I always want to slam the icing on as soon as they come out of the oven.

Ok, off to bake! 

HEY HEY!

So since this is my first ever post @ Roe and Lee, I decided you should know 5 random facts about me. Here ya go.


1) I LOVE spreading Nutella on a banana. Its the best.
2) I vowed last week to never wear pants again. I will only wear skirts or dresses. They are way more comfortable. I am loving the "pant legging" though. Not the stretchy leggings all the girls from UA wear as pants with some huge mixer frat party t-shirt. Im talking pants that are like leggings. I will still rock those.
3) I have a blog roll that I visit daily. Once I tried to mix it up and visit the blogs out of order, but I just couldnt do it. I'll let ya know the ones I read another time :)
4)Im a really messy person. When I was in 4th grade my teacher bribed me with candy to go out into the hall and clean my desk out while everyone else had to do school work. She took me into the teachers lounge and let me pick out whatever I wanted from the vending machine. It was awesome. Also, when I was younger my room would get so out of control messy that my dad would rake my room. Yea, like with what you rake leaves with. He'd rake everything into a pile and make me sort through it. It was hilarious.
5) My husband and I can re-watch and re-watch all the episodes of The Office over and over and over again. They never get old. There are two episodes I will not re-watch though: Scott's Tots and Prince Paper. Scotts Tots is just so incredibly awkward and Prince Paper makes me want to cry. They put that sweet old man and his family out of business. 


Ok, I do have two awesome kids and an awesome George, but I said I would tell you 5 RANDOM facts about me. My family isnt random.
