That’s a great list! I love that you mentioned appliances. I always giggle to myself when I find myself quietly thanking my appliances during my busy day– it’s so nice to have help! I cannot fathom doing the laundry by hand! (or the breadmaking…I’m way too fond of my bread machine!)
Thank you! I am very thankful for my indentured servants (appliances).
Blessings! Tami
