Sad Sunday

The title of this post is a little melodramatic. Sunday isn't 'sad' for any particularly bad reason, just that Sunday in my house seems to have become 'Floor Day'. You know, the day that you vacuum and mop the floors. Once upon a time, Sunday was about lazy mornings reading the paper, lounging about and going out for brunch. But with three little kiddies, Sunday is now just like any other day, except that the husband is at home.

Thankfully 'Floor Day' has become a little easier since I got a steam mop.  Again, it's a little sad, but funny to think about how my spending habits  have changed since having kids. I was given a $100 Westfield voucher for Christmas and hit the shops at the first opportunity to purchase... not clothes, not shoes, not make-up, but a steam mop!!

It's a H2Go Steam mop from Danoz Direct. I used to think that anything sold via infomercial was a scam, but now that I own this baby, and can mop my entire house in less than 20 mins, I'm now a little less sceptical about these products.
I'm now thinking I want  a swivel sweeper to help tackle my red rug that gets so, so, so, soooooo trashed by my kiddies.

Now, back to the topic I normally talk about on this blog. Here's a sweet little, ruffle sunsuit made with my free pattern and tutorial.
Thouraya has done an amazing job and I feel so honoured that she cut into some of her lovely fabric from Tessuti for this project. Her little girls are so adorable!!!

Happy Sunday all!

Note: I have not been paid by Danoz Direct to recommend their products to you, but if anyone from Danoz would like to supply me with a swivel sweeper to review (and keep), I'd be eternally grateful :)

    I have the same paranoia about anything that's sold via tv, but if you do get a free swivel sweeper, I would love to know if it's actually any good!

    Ahh... I've always wondered about those mops. Me thinks I might need one too... 20mins sounds very very good :)

    Thanks for the recommendation - I have often wondered if they are worth the money. I absolutely hate mopping the floors so anything that makes this job a bit less mundane is a winner. I'm also sceptical about anything that is sold on TV but I decided to spend my birthday money on Sheer Cover and Wen shampoo that I had seen on Guthy Renker infomercials. They are both excellent and I will defnitely be getting more when they run out (though not through Guthey Renker because they keep on sending product every 3 months whether you want it or not).

    Also, congrats on having your bonnet featured in the the Hawthorne Threads newsletter - it looks gorgeous. :)

    It really is a great product and I'm sure you will love it just as much as your H2O Steam Mop.
