Stainless Steel Appliances and Fingerprints

How hard is it to keep stainless steel appliances clean from little fingers?  I am looking at whirlpool refrigerators and love the look of stainless steel. My kitchen cabinets are only a few years old and I'd like to update the applicances as well.  With all my kids though, it might be mean a lot of cleaning of little fingerprints.  Is stainless steel harder to keep clean?

Wet (but pretty) Weather

It's turned into a very wet Fall.  My son will never get his soccer season finished this way - - the fields keep getting waterlogged and they get rescheduled...and rescheduled...and rescheduled.  It makes for pretty pictures though when it does dry up - fall colors on the trees and green grass.  Very nice.


I need to check out power supplies while I'm thinking about it to protect my computer with these storms. That's all I need is to short my computer! I'd cry.

Floral Arrangements

My husband and I are going to renew our vows.  We'll be married 16 years this December!  I am trying to figure out details and right now, I'm working on floral arrangements. I want something a bit different.  I don't have a favorite flower so that's no help at all.  I don't want the normal, average arrangement yet I have a budget.  Any ideas?  I need a unique bouquet for myself, bouquets for my girls to carry, and table centerpieces.  I love nature and was thinking about doing a blooming plant for the centerpiece that can be taken home and replanted.  Then our love would bloom year after year (was that too sappy?).

While I am researching for my vow renewal, a friend in the hospital would probably appreciate a delivery of these flowers below.  Aren't they great? I think these will pick her spirits up.  Being in the hospital for kidney stones and having to eat hospital food would be enough to bring anybody's spirits down.  I think a pretty floral arrangement would make her happy and brighten up her hospital room.
