The value of a few flowers

Next time your at the store and the kids are being crazy go ahead and buy your self some flowers. I usually get daisy's since they are my favorite and a bunch is under $10. My kids will settle down and ask "can I pick them out this time mom?" My answer is usually yes as long as I can have a say to. Sometimes I give them a price limit, Ethan tends to want to buy the $30 bunches and I'm really a daisy girl at heart. My husband isn't so good at buying me flowers so I simply tell him when I next see him that he got me flowers. He laughs and say "Oh did I pick the right ones?" It's been a great thing for our relationship because I don't get upset that he never buys me flowers and I get to enjoy the flowers.

So let me tell you why you should spend $10 a week on some flowers. It will help clean your kitchen. No they don't come with little cleaning sprites who will magically clean your counters and scrub your stove but they will motivate you. Flowers make a place more beautiful, and more cheerful. It's hard to have a messy kitchen in their presence. You will find that if you place the flowers on your kitchen table you have a reason to clean your table...you don't want your messy table to get in the way of their beauty. Soon you will notice that your kitchen is just a little bit cleaner and every time you look at your table instead of frown at the clutter you smile. So next week go ahead and try it buy your self some flowers.

If flowers are out of the question for your family do to allergies or maybe you just don't like them buy a nice center piece for your table that will make you smile when you see it...hey maybe you even have something tucked away in a cupboard. :)
