Fun Fact: I hate gardening. I mean I really, really hate it. My parents LOVE gardening with all their hearts, but neither Ben or I can get into it for some reason. Perhaps the love of gardening skips a generation.
Thank God for my Mom’s green thumb, though, because she helped me take our side yard from this:
To this! Notice the bright, new red mulch?! Love it!
We also cleaned up the bushes and plants in front of my house, and put more mulch down. Crisp and clean – a Type A personality’s dream come true!
We’ll be planting flowers in the next couple of weeks…can’t wait?! At any rate, THANKS MOM!!! :D :D :D

I HATE dusting! SO tedious with very little movement. I’d much rather be vaccuming, mopping, etc. Cleaning the bathrooms ranks right up there though, too!

I’m with ya on the bathroom cleaning! Broke down & hired a cleaning lady so I never have to do it again! I don’t mind vacuuming either. Got a new vacuum this weekend. Isn’t that the best?! Those new ones work so well! I hate gardening, too. I really thought your before pic looked pretty good, too, though. You should see my yard. That’ll make ya feel better about yours!

I hate gardening too! And emptying the bins :( But I don’t mind washing up or vacuuming, cos you always see a nice difference after, v satisfying!

Your dinner looks awesome – love roasted veg. I hate cleaning the bathroom and packing dishes away!

It looks great! My mom always helps me with the gardening because it seems as if I can’t keep any type of plant alive!
My least favorite chore…folding and putting away laundry. If I could have a magic laundry fairy do this chore for me, life would be perfect!

My most hated chore is a tie between cleaning up the kitchen (a necessity everyday with all the cooking I do), and dusting. My excuse for not dusting is my allergies. :) My least hated chore is probably sweeping or mopping, oddly enough.

I HATE folding laundry, ugh it’s the worst. I actually like vacuuming too though, somewhat theraputic for me for whatever reason :)
Wendy 04.18.2010

Jessica Lee 04.18.2010

Lauren 04.18.2010
AWw, you’re mom’s love and knack for gardening is much like my dad’s. He has such the green thumb in the family and I am happy that a little rubbed off on me, but I still can not get as into it or as good as he is. Good thing we have these wonderful people in our lives to help us out! :)
Enjoy your night girl.

Laundry I don’t mind, but dusting… it gets so dusty here in Los Angeles!

I HATE laundry, ugh, every aspect of it sucks.
The yard looks good.
Kaitlin 04.18.2010
I don’t mind emptying the dishwasher, cleaning dishes but I hate cleaning my room… I’ll take a clean kitchen any day!
Lindsay 04.18.2010
I love the crisp clean look! They removed a dead bush from the front of my house and I love the way it looks empty. I don’t want them to put another bush/tree in its place! haha!

I need to make sweet potato fries again. I always end up with soft fries though. Perhaps I need a hotter oven like you.
I hate the bathroom but I love folding laundry.
