It Takes the Cake

Sometimes when life gives you too much cake, you've just got to make "cupcakes".

Can life really give you too much cake? Yes! After the anniversary party, we had too much cake. While I was busy folding the eleventeenth load of laundry, Keelie was busy turning the leftover cake into cupcakes. (I promise I didn't set this up; Keelie did this all on her own.)

Sometimes my little Cupcake (Keelie) leaves little (or big) messes behind.
And then I need Mama's Little Helper. (Yes, Rachel. I bought it.)

Anyone who really knows me also knows that I'm obsessed with my dirty floor. I'll try anything to keep it clean. And then I found this little fella, the LiNX Cordless by Hoover. No cord to hold me back. No wimpy rechargeable battery to slow me down. This baby really sucks! I mean REALLY. The 18 volt lithium ion battery recharges in only one hour. Now that's innovation.

The LiNX takes the cake, and crumbs, and dust, and dirt, and hair, and just about anything else you can throw under it.
This puppy gets my stamp of approval!

The thumbs up pose is KILLING me. I loved seeing your picture.

Oh, and my new mission is to find and buy this vacuum. I must own anything that makes you this happy.

Wow! I was just thinking about taking vacuum cleaner suggestions. I bought a SHARK years ago and I think it's a piece of junk. Then we bought Roomba which I liked, but I think I'd like to go back to a handheld. Sometimes it takes Roomba a long time to clean the entire floor and I get tired of hearing it run for thirty minutes when I could vacuum myself in 10, y'know?

What a cute post! My hubby needs one of those. He's the one that's obsessed with cleaning our wood floors. He's constantly telling everyone to take off their shoes and quit tracking in the mess and muck.
