I had the entire laundromat to myself tonight! I spread the laundry out over an entire wall of dryers and got 8 loads of laundry dry in half an hour. That would have taken me an entire day at home. Well, it would have taken me an entire day before our dryer bit the dust. […]
Don’t worry chimney woman. I’ll schedule my visits around the children’s naps.
Dear Maytag, GE, Kenmore, Amana and manufacturers without catchy marketing, I do our family’s laundry. I sort it, treat it, wash it, dry it, fold it and put it away. The first thing I do every morning is start a load in the washer. The last thing I do every night is put another load […]
