Thanksgiving (Tucson)

Here is our adventure at Warren's Parents. We went down for just the day so we could get back to do thanksgiving number two at my house the next day. We always have a blast hanging out with them. The kids get more attention then they know what to do with. And of course Yummy food as usual! This year My Cousin Debbie and Skippy dog came along as well. The pictures are not in order and I can't figure out how to change so it is what it is...

Thanksgiving (Gilbert)

This year we had two Thanksgivings. Oh yes there was way too much food but great company. With my family the festivities began the Sunday before when my sister Jen and her Family arrived. I love it when she comes! The kids get along great and This was my first time meeting my newest nephew. Which by the way is the cutest chubbiest baby!

We had a blast shopping at Ikea , playing at the park with the kids, some much needed girl time out at the movies and so much more! I wish she lived closer...

Here are some photos I took of the kids playing at the park. They are such fun kids!

The best husband ever..

Warren and I were talking about the BIG Christmas gift for Autumn a few months ago and I mentioned that I found some amazing play kitchen plans. And like an amazing Man would he offered to build it for her! That's right he is all mine! I didn't even have to beg. Love it! So after a few hours of cutting and screwing and wood filling and TONS of sanding it is now ready for a woman's touch! Now this is were i come in to fancy it up a bit. Can't wait! Here is what it looks like right now.








We still have to install the sink and faucet and a million other things but i think it looks pretty dang AWESOME! Finished product post to come mid December. At least that is my goal.

Can I get a Hallelujah Amen!

Today after much research and review reading i went out and bought a "Shark" steam mop. I figured the best way to know if it works is to test it on MY floors! And guess what...I LOVE IT! I have magazine worthy clean floors! No streaks (because i used a splash of vinegar with my water) and no little head bonks while i was cleaning! I am one happy customer and would recommend this to any mom with constantly dirty floors and 20 different mops in the closet that don't do a darn thing. So happy! It even cleaned my base boards when i tilted it on it's side =)

Question...they look clean but are they sanitized? Do you have a steam mop and if so which one? I am thinking about trying the Haan next. The wattage is higher and produces more steam in turn getting even hotter for all sanitizing jobs. I will only clean with a steam mop from now on. The question is which one...

Help! What have you experienced?

Happy cleaning all!
