Flying Bananas!! Oh My!

Do you remember my post about how cool it is that you can freeze your old bananas till you're ready to use them?

Well I've gone overboard. My freezer is so full of bananas that I can't open the door without getting pelted, whacked or even showered in frozen bananas!

I think it's time for some serious baking!

I love my new mop

So I thought I would share. I grew up with roller mops. I still remember having mopping races across our dining room kitchen combo. It was great fun. The dining room had a huge table down the middle, at the end of the table was a chimney and on the other side of the chimney (in the kitchen now) was a wood stove. So the rooms were split right down the center. We had two mops and two buckets and we'd race down our respective sides. One girl I raced got very clever and stole my mop to try to get an edge, but she and the two mops ended up in a tangled heap!

Anyway, last week I decided that it was time to buy a mop so I went to the mop isle at Target and spent some time comparing allllll the various types of mops and all the various brands of the various types. Jack thought this was boring but I plied him with crackers. I was determined to make a wise decision. In the end I chose this one. It was one of the two cheaper roller mops and of those two had the rougher sponge, an important feature with babies afoot.

I finally found energy to use it...yesterday? it feels like it was weeks ago, but I'm pretty sure it was just yesterday. I loved it. I enjoyed it. It was easy. My floor is clean; my mop is clean; there were no puddles and all the food stuck under Jack's high chair is history (except the new food from today of course). I am a happy woman and a satisfied customer!
