I’ve been busy with a new addition to the family:

My first brand new vacuum. I guess my husband figures I am staying around for a while, and I do a lot of cleaning, so it wasn't too risky buying me a new vacuum.

Scott says I "deserve" a new vacuum.

Do you remember one of the mantras from LaLeche League..?

Breastfeeding Saves Enough Money

For One Major Appliance

per child

He got off so cheap with a deal on this, that I'm counting it as only half a new appliance. So far I am up 2 1/2, with 3 1/2 brand new major appliances to go...dishwasher, here we come!
