I shall call her Martha.

Martha. How I love thee. I wonder if she’s nice in real life? I think she would be. However, I must say that Kathy Griffin’s jokes about her are hilarious, and if you’ve seen any of her stand-up, you know what I mean. It’s not that she’s being mean to my Martha (yeah, my Martha) it just seems to poke fun at her perfectness. Is that a word? It should be. Perfectness.

This post is about my other Martha. Here’s a picture of her and her family members. We have half the family as of right now:

I decided to name the stand mixer Martha. I bought her on Sunday with my friend Leslie at Macy’s, since Macy’s is the only place you can buy it in this beautiful, perfect color called Martha Blue. We received the blender as a wedding gift from Corey and Joanna, so now we only need the food processor (which is not pictured in the family photo…weird) and the hand mixer. I have my issues with the hand mixer, and maybe you all can help convince me to buy it anyway. My issue is what would I use it for that my stand mixer couldn’t do? Is the hand mixer better for quick/easy stuff, while Martha is better used for making lots and lots of cupcakes? Thoughts my friends?

Well, I would like all 4 because I am planning on having our future kitchen be black, white, and Martha blue. Sort of like this AMAZING kitchen makeover from Life on Grace. Here are a few pics:

Thanks Leslie for helping me buy Martha! I love you!

Thanks for Martha’s sibling, Joanna & Corey!

Now only one question remains- what do I name the blender? I don’t want it to feel like the step-sibling of Martha, so I need to name it SOON.
