Christmas Came Early


Guess what is sitting in my kitchen?

That I've never had before?

I'll give you a little hint... this is what I've been researching today.     <----

I'd love to hear from you on what you use, have tried, have not found success with as far as dishwasher detergents go.  We have extremely hard water, so I am a little concerned that the DIY versions may not work for us.  I've also been pricing dishwasher detergent on Amazon - Missy strongly advised me to go with the Finish Tabs since they're really effective, but I've also heard good things about the Seventh Generation


I'm so so so excited about this new household helper... totally kissed it after we started it last night!   Micah's family replaced their rolling unit with a built in, to save on space, so they gave us their rolling dishwasher. SO THANKFUL. :)

In an attempt to maximize productivity, I started the washer and dryer last night as soon as the dishwasher was started, intending to go to bed with all three of my favorite household servants hard at work... but apparently, dishwashers like water pressure.  Who knew, right?  Oops.  I had to laugh at myself, though, since that pleasant feeling of being productive while not actually doing anything is so nice.  ;)

I can totally appreciate your happiness! When my first two boys were little we did not have a dishwasher for a while. I was so thankful that the next place we lived had one!! Enjoy that new helper!

I am! :) It is so great just loading it up through the day and not having dishes in the sink or on the counter, then running it at night and waking up to clean dishes! Micah has been sweet enough to hook it up to the sink and run it every night, so it has been super easy! I feel so spoiled. :)

I am so jealous that you have a dishwasher. I had one growing up but sadly don't have one at this house. Right now I have the choice of either having a cupboard space or a dishwasher and I will always choose the space over the cleaning machine. I can't wait to teach my kids how to do the dishes so I can have a break.

ps. I nominated you for a liebster award on my blog.
