I have added a new poll to the blog so PLEASE, PLEASE participate and cast your vote for your favorite laundry detergent!
I have been struggling lately with this huge dilema. Every time I go to do laundry, I am unsure which laundry detergent to use. My mom has always used the powder, and I think Casey's mom has used the liquid stuff. I have used both, and the kind I buy usually depends on which one is cheaper, but I want to know which kind you guys prefer.
I know what you are thinking: this is serious stuff. And I whole-heartedly agree. So please help me out and let me know what you think. Feel free to leave a comment if you are extremely biased toward one type.
Thanks!!!

Mother's Day
Yesterday Casey mentioned that he needed to get me a gift for Mother's Day. I have thought a lot about Mother's Day, but I was thinking about it for our moms and grandmas... not for me.
So since this is my first official Mother's Day being a mom (I was pregnant last year), I wanted to write my top 5 favorite things about being a mom:
5. I've never counted so much... breaths in the middle of the night, bites of rice cereal (43 1/2 is our record), minutes he nurses (3 hours is our record), messy diapers at 4 a.m., times I do laundry in a day, dishes I wash, etc. I must be getting pretty smart!
4. I get the coolest partner to help me figure all of this junk out. Sometimes I feel like a detective or something and Casey is my partner fighting crime.
3. This mom business is exciting! I can't believe how happy I get when Benson does little things like sits-up, rolls over, puts his toes in his mouth, puts food in his mouth, learns how to splash in the tub, or even sometimes when he poops after a while... but my favorite thing he's learned is how to giggle. Laughing with my baby is the most precious thing I have ever experienced.
2. He always wants his mom... and that's ME!!! Whenever he's tired, sad, hurt, happy, angry, dirty, or especially hungry, he wants me. I have become a pacifier for him. LITERALLY!
1. The best thing of all is that I get to kiss those chubby cheeks and stare into those big, beautiful eyes anytime I want.

Scrapbook page I did with some of my favorite pictures of Benson and me.
(Don't look too closely at the one of him in the front pack, I hadn't quite figured out that contraption yet and I might have been slightly strangling him.)
