Sunday Social

Hi Lovelies!

Happy Sunday Social!!! I can't believe that May is almost over and June is just around the corner. This month has been a busy one with appointments, having fun, and finally opening my Etsy shop (Sweet Pea Designs Too). It has been fun making the items (planner bands, bookmark paperclips, washi shapes and squares). 

Anyway, back to today's post! Here are this week's questions:

1. What is your favorite handbag you own?

I honestly do not remember the name of the handbag, but here is a pic of it.

2. Three things you would buy now if money were no object.

A kindle fire, a Coach bag, and a Macbook.

3. Name a place you would go if given a plane ticket anywhere.

Ireland

4. What is the most valuable lesson you have learned from blogging. 

To keep parts of your life private.

5. What is the most valuable lesson that you learned from a friend?

That friends come and go, and that that there will always be a time to find each other and catch up.

5 Things I'm bad At

Hi Lovelies!

Okay, so I saw this on another blog, this blog actually and was inspired to write about the five that I'm just not so good at. And so I decided to just put it out there because I'm not perfect (hey, who is), so how about we do this... okay... here we go!

1. Twitter

I have an account but I never use it. I just don't see the point of it.

2. Video games

This is something that my husband is always telling me.I'm bad at them and I just don't understand how someone can play the same game over and over for days at a time. 

3. Laundry

Yes. I'm bad at this thing we call laundry. I just don't like the idea that once it's done it just seems to pile back up. Folding it is the worst. I mean I don't mind washing and drying but the folding and putting away, I just don't like it. You could say that I have a love-hate relationship with laundry.

4. Menu planning

I suck at menu planning. I start with the best of intentions and by this I mean, I search the internet for recipes, I look through magazines and I put a plan together. However, I can never seem to stick with it. I'll just keep trying!!!

5. Homework

I used to be so organized with the classes that I am taking, but this semester, not so much. I have been behind for the last two weeks and I am trying to play catch up.

So, what things are you bad at?

My Laundry Routine

Hi Lovelies! 

I have no explanation for my absence from the blog other than life just gets in the way sometimes. Anyway, today I wanted to talk about my laundry routine. Grab some coffee, relax, and enjoy!

Laundry is my nemesis. I battle against it every single day and most times it a losing battle. It just keeps coming back and never ends. Never. Never. Never. 

There are several different ways for managing laundry and believe me I have tried all of them. It has taken me years to finally figure out a system that works for my family. 

I try to wash one load a day. Usually this means that I have a mixed load which usually works out great. Now sometimes this works great and other times it doesn't work so well at all. I mean that I wash my one load a day, but the load just sits in the basket for days at a time. And while it's sitting there, usually 6 loads are piled on top of the first one which then equals me having to rummage through the clothes whenever we need something to wear. Then when this routine gets old, I then find the time to fold all of the clothes which usually takes me up to 2 hours to complete. 

As you can see, I am working on the folding part of the laundry routine. We will get there with time. 

Another key to my laundry routine is that I try to the process the night before by gathering all of the clothes at night and then putting them in the washer. This way I get a jump start on my morning routine. 

Like I said, this is still a work in progress and I plan on having this routine down as soon as possible.

Have a great Saturday Lovelies!!
