Downy Unstopables ... Like Crack For Your Washing Machine

Let me just tell you...these things are amazing!  Growing up, my family had tons of problems with allergies and eczema so we always used unscented and no fun laundry detergent and we definitely never used fabric softener or anything yummy like that.  My mother-in-law got me hooked on these things and I could slap her because they are expensive!  I refuse to pay full price for them, but even after I use coupons or get them on sale they are still around 6 bucks, full price they can be about $8 or $9! 

It is so worth it though...Downy Unstopables are sort of like Yankee Candles or Bath and Body Works Wallflowers for me...I justify the price because they just smell so darn good!  I am all about smelling good and I pretty much am always in a constant battle against foul odors.  I guess this is that I signed up for being married to a pig farmer and owning a big slobbery hound dog.  But I refuse to lose the war!  I want to smell good, I want my house to smell good, I want my husband to smell good, I want our dog to smell good, and now because of this "clothing scent booster" our clothes can also smell good.  Actually they smell way better than good...good is clean cotton.  Now the clean cotton scent just does nothing for me anymore...but scent saturated, super delicious clothes, sheets, and towels totally turns me on.  TMI?

I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone, but let me warn you...once you come to the delicious smelling dark side you won't be able to turn back.

Thanksgiving Nom Noms

Vonda "Mom Peters" is completely insane.  I love her to death but she just does things that I could never and would never do.  Such as having two Thanksgiving dinners at her house, on the same day!  To help her out, Brady and I are bringing two dishes to each dinner.  

The first dish we are bringing is a broccoli casserole...it is so delicious, but has the weirdest (not sure if that's a word) ingredients...such as blue cheese dressing (gross), Ramen noodles (can you say poor college student), and yogurt (what the...).  You can find this recipe at http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/broccoli-casserole-recipe/index.html
The second dish we are bringing is a sweet potato casserole.  This dish is one for the kiddos...it makes veggies taste like candy!  It comes complete with such ingredients as sugar, pecans, vanilla, more sugar, marshmellows, and brown sugar.  Can you say "Bye bye diet...hello unbuttoning my pants at the dinner table?"  That's what Thanksgiving is all about right?  This recipe can be found at http://comfyinthekitchen.com/2011/11/sweet-potato-casserolefeasting-in-fellowship/

Who says there are no mountains in Indiana?

We had one in our garage!  A mountain of insulation that is...weird things like this happen in a home when you are constantly renovating, fixing up, and remodeling.
One of the million reasons Brady is an amazing husband is because he is such a hard worker...sometimes too hard even.  Being a workaholic comes honest to him though, it runs in the family.  Let's look at some more examples of Brady working.
Here he is cleaning off the combine after a long day of cutting beans.
And he is here scraping off wallpaper.
And next we will see him cutting down a tree...this is hardly work to him though because he gets to use a chain saw and all men love to use things that are loud, powerful, and dangerous.
And here we see Brady painting...
Next we see happy Brady and sad Gus...BATHTIME!
This next picture shows Brady working really hard...lifting up all 88 pounds of his little sister Molly, while standing on a ladder, so she can put the star on top of the Christmas tree.  Clearly Vonda approves, even though she can't see the tree with her eyes closed, haha!  And yes...Brady is wearing fleece pajama pants with dogs on them...sexy.
As you can see a common theme in our marriage is Brady likes to work, and I like to take pictures of him while he is working.  One of the many reasons we are a match made in heaven =)
