Freedom

Do you remember my post about laundry? It was about a woman who did away with the "normal" way of doing laundry. Well, now that we are into summer and I don't have to worry about clean uniforms...I tried it.

I love it!! Real quick I'll run down how I USED to do laundry, and then tell you how I do laundry now. Every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday I/we would gather all the hampers, lug them downstairs where I would spend 10-15min. sorting everything into piles (darks, lights, towels, & whites). I would wash, dry, fold and put into piles ALL day long! (Literally, I would start at 8:00 and be working on it till 4:00/5:00.) UGH!!

Now, I do one hamper a day. Throw it all into the machine together. That's right, I don't sort my clothes! My mother would think I'd lost my mind, who knows, maybe I have, but I'm not stressed and consumed with laundry anymore! WooHoo! I don't have to start it as soon as I get up, I start it whenever I want! Why didn't I do this years ago?!

Birthday Pictures

Last week I worked on Jacob's (6th) and Naomi's (1st) birthday pictures. As you can see in the photos, Jacob loves to make funny faces, and Naomi doesn't really want to sit still. I will post the rest of the kids as I get them done...they all have fall and winter birthdays so I usually wait till warmer weather to take there's. (Just keep in mind that I do not profess to be a professional photographer).
