Crock Pot Baked Beans

So lately I’ve been thinking that a house cleaner would be super nice to have. In fact I’ve been thinking this for a while and it’s just justifying the money it costs that is holding me back, but lately I can even justify that. It’s ridiculous. I can not keep up. So I finally decided that I was going to hire one.

I started calling local house cleaners. Do you know what I found out? Everyone else must have already hired them because I can not for the life of me find one. Everyone is booked. So after my third call and no luck, I gave up.

I thought maybe I wasn’t meant to have one?

Maybe it’s a sign that I should just suck it up and clean my own house and not hate it and detest it and get frustrated because my house does not miraculously clean itself….

I also thought inside maybe I should quit trying to find one because let’s face it. I felt guilty. I felt guilty for deciding that I couldn’t keep up. I couldn’t do it all. Between a kid, adding another kid to the mix soon, blogging, traveling, feeding everyone, doing laundry trying to keep everyone happy oh ya and working full time I just can’t keep up sometimes.

Why is it so hard to ask for help? To hire someone to come in and clean your house? Why does this make me feel so terribly guilty and inefficient? I look at others and they seem to have it all. Clean house, happy kids, they work, they craft, their lawns are well taken care of, and they clean their house. I must be a failure.

Crockpot Baked Beans

While in my quest for a housekeeper I found this out. There are a lot of people that have them as I started asking them around. Do you know what else? I did not think they were terrible people, slackers, inefficient or anything like I felt of myself. I thought that they were SMART!

Smart that they would hire this chore done so they could go outside and play a little more with their kids, that they could maybe pick up a book and enjoy some time to themselves. That they could go on a date night with their husband and not be stressed about getting home to clean their house.

So why do I feel guilty? I shouldn’t, but I do. I’m going to keep looking for that housekeeper and I’m going to try to less guilty about it because I do have a lot on my plate and if I can spoil myself with a house cleaner and enjoy some downtime then so be it. If you want to come clean my house let me know. I’ll pay you plus give you treats mmmmk??

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Baked Beans

bacon
hamburger
can Boston Recipe Baked Beans
kidney beans
ketchup
brown sugar
liquid smoke
vinegar

I have another confession. When people post photos on social media I look in the background of their pictures and hope to see some clutter in their lives, on their counter or toys scattered on their floor.

When I find so-called things I feel relieved that others are like me! They don’t have it all either! And you know what I don’t judge them I just feel better about myself! So please would you post some clutter pictures on social media for me? Thanks!

This is a great recipe for summer cookouts! Love the addition of liquid smoke and of course the BACON! P.S. I have a house cleaner and at first it was great! Now, I’m finding that the details are lacking, so it’s frustrating that I’m paying for a half-a.. job! We can’t win. I would look for a one time head to toe (per se) cleaning agency.

Did you not know how to spell onion? I will make these and I see no reason why there should not be some finely dices onions. Is there?

  Feel free to add them John! Recipes are meant for adapting and adding your favorite ingredients. Unfortunately onions are not my husband’s love language!

I am amazed at how you made ordinary ingredients look so terrific!

When I photograph what I’ve made, I have to choose the angle carefully so that folks aren’t shocked by the clutter that exists. Having a housekeeper once upon a time has spoiled me. I’m terrible at it!

These beans look great!! Making them for Father’s Day!!!!

I feel your frustration about housekeepers. I’ve had several over the years and would love to get someone again, just can’t find anyone!!

  I’ll cross my fingers you find one if you cross yours for me!

Julie: This recipe sounds and looks delish; can’t wait to make it. Nice to have “cross over” recipes that work as either a side dish or main dish. I will probably add some diced onion and garlic, and perhaps also diced bell pepper or celery.

And oh, believe me … if I posted a photo of the clutter on the table in my home office now, you would not, would not feel bad about the clutter in your home! Just tackle one area at a time, when you have time, and don’t stress; I learned that a long time ago. And yes, I clean my own house.

  Those sound like great additions Mary! Thanks for making me feel better 🙂
