I'm living my dream life, spending my days with my three sweet kids on the rocky coast of Maine...


boy2001 is a loveable 2nd grade LEGO brick master. An average week includes a round of golf, some time at the track with a smidgeon of Nintendo DS time.

girl2004 is a Care Bears enthusiast when she's not twirling to imaginary ballet, she's gleefully giggling to pink princess daydreams or requesting baking sessions.


girl2006 is an Elmo and Little People Fanatic, she insists on wearing tights and dresses everyday, as well as reading our 'I Love You' books everyday. She shares my love for Little House on the Prairie.


My personal goals are to go back to school for my Masters, possibly in Library Studies or Biblical Languages.


Smokey is our playful pup, half chihuahua, half rat terrier he's a handsome dog, although very good with the children Smokey does have his issues!


Chexter is our roborovski hamster, over a year old he's recently started to nip a little!

help find my ME time

May 17, 2009

frigidaireHas anyone seen my ME time?!  That’s what I think as I dash around the house, loading the dishwasher, checking the dryer to see if it actually dried the clothes… oooh maybe I left some ME time on the ironing board… or maybe one of a hundred other little things.

Frigidaire is keeping all that in mind with 250 new appliances with time saving features to lighten mom’s load!  What I wouldn’t do to save some time on daily chores.  The laundry is particularly frustrating.  No matter what I do, I’m ALWAYS behind on the laundry. 

Confession: I have to get the kids to pick out their clothes the night before to be sure we’ve got enough socks and undies.

Our set is in the basement so it’s easy to overlook the run down, top-loading,  rusty old thing.  Sometimes I don’t even turn on the lights its so depressing.  We always talk about getting a new washer/dryer but something else always comes up! 

Frigidaire’s recently released “Motherload Index” revealed that moms spend most of their waking lives – 200 hours each month – doing the activities they least enjoy rather than the things they love.

I must admit the time saving features make buying a new set all the more attractive as well as the thought of saving energy and getting clean clothes!  I’m sure more ME time would make me a better mom, I wouldn’t have to be up past midnight and I’d be pumping blog posts like crazy if I got a Frigidaire washer and dryer.  Who am I kidding… I’d probably spend more time reading another picture book or story while philosophizing about life with my little laundry soilers.

What would you do with found free time?  Fill out the survey @ Frigidaire for your chance to WIN a bunch of Frigidaire appliances.  Check out the More-Me-Time guarantee!  8 hours a month or you can return your appliances within 30 days of purchase.

This post may actually give ME a chance to win a washer/dryer set!
