thankful#74: our vacuum

when we moved here last year we went out and bought a super cheap little dirt devil. the space we have to maintain is so tiny that i didn't see any need to get a fancy vacuum. it didn't take long, though, to realize that you get what you pay for. i kept noticing crumbs that were left behind or little bits of dirt from shoes that didn't get sucked up. we finally got a middle-of-the-road vacuum - not too fancy but definitely not cheap. it was instantly mind-blowing to see what that thing picked up. not only the crumbs, but the dust, dirt, hair, and god knows what else that is in that filter after each use is disgusting. to think that stuff would have just been left on the ground (& hardly seen with the dark carpets) and crawled on, eaten off of, and played on is horrifying. i am trying to do everything i can to build strong immune systems in my girls and that would not have helped my
cause. im so glad we decided to spend a little more on that thing.
