This is my first Blog Meme- I’m so excited and also a little nervous that I might mess up the code for the button or mess up the link up. But here goes. I found this meme on Adventuroo, a blog of a NC mama that I found and started following on twitter. I decided to start a meme so that it would force me to have assignments and stay accountable to my blog. This week’s assignment was to take a picture of something we couldn’t do without.
Before J and I became full fledged grown ups we lived in a series of apartments that did not have a dishwasher. At first, it didn’t really bother us that much because we were so poor we used one pan to make mac and cheese or Ramen Noodles. Slowly though we started cooking big elaborate meals and the dishes would pile up in the sink and it was probably one of the biggest triggers for fights in our marriage. When we made our last move into this house, we knew we absolutely needed a dishwasher. And now I use that dishwasher almost everyday filling it with sippy cups and snack bowls and brightly colored plastic spoons. And J and I still fight, but never about dishes.

Love it! I can’t imagine living without my dishwasher….although we still wash a lot by hand.
We lived without a dishwasher for the first 6 years of our marriage too! What a time saver a dishwasher is. It is high on my list of must haves as well!!!!
I feel so honored that my new meme was your first. Thanks SO much!
Man, I can’t live without a dishwasher either. I noticed that since we aren’t eating out as much, we sure do pile that thing tight and run it almost every night!
I can appreciate this! My husband & I lived somewhere without a dishwasher as well, and I never knew what I was missing till I had one – seriously couldn’t live without mine now!!
I lived that same early existence and remarkably ate the exact same foods! Now I shove everything I can think of into the dishwasher although we still argue about who has to wash the pots and pans by hand.
LOL!
I couldn’t live without my dishwasher, either! It’s pretty amazing how many dishes kids use each and every day, isn’t it?!
This was such a cute post. I couldn’t imagine living without a dishwasher.
So so true! I almost forgot how much it sucked not having a dishwasher! Can’t live without this one either…
