Yes, you read that correctly... We have a housekeeper. That's been on my wish list forever, but I just couldn't ever justify it. But then my part-time job turned full-time, and I decided that the only way it ever WOULD get cleaned is if someone else did it.
I had seen an ad for someone who cleaned houses in a neighboring town (we're talking small towns here...) and so I asked her if she'd take on another house. Well, she couldn't. But she knew someone who was just starting up, and might be interested. So this someone else and I got in touch with each other. I admitted I'd never had a housekeeper before and she admitted she'd never been a housekeeper before. But her mom was, and she had learned a lot from her.
The lightbulb went on. All our conversations were via messages on Facebook. "I think I know your mom," I told her. So we compared notes, and sure enough, her mom goes to my church. A number of her cousins went to my church when we lived in Calgary. There are all kinds of connections.
So we often exchange notes. I love coming home on Tuesdays to my freshly cleaned house. She loves cleaning our house. Says she feels like she's blessing someone when cleaning here. That she is!! I feel both blessed and spoiled and I'm loving it.

Easter Weekend
March 2012
Yes, I know it's April, but I forgot that I had unprocessed pictures on my camera from the last time the kids were here.
The shovel looks about my size!
Maybe it will be easier if I'm in Bestefar's shoes...
It's not working...
What fun to play with cousins again!
Just you wait... soon I'll be running with them!
We love bubbles!
