I didn't forget.
I planned a whole week's worth of celebratory posts...in my head.
But instead of writing those posts while Marlie took her naps, I have been...
CLEANING!!! Say it with me...UGH!
I have been scrubbing the house top-to-bottom in two-hour increments these last two weeks to remove several months worth of built up dust, cobwebs, and grime from every nook and cranny.
It was gross. I'm not going to win any housekeeping awards. Martha Stewart can erase my name from her contact list.
But now the house is sparkling clean and ready for Marlie's birthday party today. Why go through all that trouble, you ask? The answer is simple: pride. Just because I am no longer trying to be SuperMom, doesn't mean I shouldn't give the impression that I am. The party guests are going to be awestruck as they sit in my immaculate home while wondering to themselves, How does she do it?
Who am I to burst their bubble? :-)

Hey, I get to be first to comment! Yeah! Happy Birthday! I thought about getting real creative and reminding Damon who thought they should make a pinup calendar with good-looking guys like him doing housework - talk about eye candy for us gals. Then, I realized that maybe he might like women objectifying him like that. So I won't mention it. I'll just wish you a happy blogoversary!!!!
(To be sung in the tune of A Very Merry Unbirthday)

I can't believe it has been a year already! Where does time go?
You have just totally burst my bubble because I thought you were Martha Stewart's right hand woman. You don't clean every day since you're home with nothing to do except play with a child? LOL LOL LOL
Well, CONGRATULATIONS on a very productive year with baby and blog growing.

Came over from this for that!!
There once was a team called Marlie and Me.
One is a charming, adorable little girl,
The other her Mama, a sweet pearl.
A blog, they created for all to enjoy
New products, giveaways and advice, oh boy!
Happy Blogversary!

Happy Happy Blogversary! I don't have anything creative to say because I'm too mad that you get two hour naps from your little one. So I'm just going to sit here and pout :)
Hey, I just started a new eco-friendly/organic giveaway linky on my blog. If you have anything that fits the bill, feel free to post it there and spread the word!
