Waiting for Folding: Four Loads

I have just broke my first cardinal rule of laundry. My mother would be so ashamed right now.

In my laundry room, sitting on top of the washer, is my laundry basket. My laundry basket that is overflowing with four load of clean, unfolded laundry. Yes, four. I have washed and dried four load of laundry and piled them all in a basket for folding later this evening. Well, later this evening came and went, and yet the laundry is waiting. This is my number one rule of keeping on top of the laundry - when it comes out of the dryer, fold it. Don't pile it. Take 10 minutes and fold it.

Why don't I listen to myself?

I have an excuse of sorts though. I have been neck deep in planning Grace's birthday bash. We decided to celebrate her 2nd birthday at the park and invite everyone. We didn't do much for her first birthday, so Mr. D wants to make up for it this year. I had to get all the decorations ordered online so they would arrive in time. I have spent hours searching for the best prices and best discount codes available online, and then compared them to availability and prices to our local party stores. Madness.

But, decorations are ordered. Invitations have been made (by hand) and sent. This week: food. I am planning on posting how super cool the invites turned out too. Stay tuned.

Birthday parties are so fun. I can only remember having one growing up so I have always gone a little overboard for my kids. My daughter will be 8 in August and we are planning a Little Women tea party. I think I just as excited as she is.
Happy 2nd Birthday to your little one. Hope it turns out great.
