Appreciate the Little Things

A few months ago our clothes dryer broke, and instead of replacing it right away, we decided to use a clothesline to save on cost and energy. For the most part it was fine except for two little things

First the towels. Towels need to be dried in a dryer. The softness and fluff that a dryer adds is luxury!! We joked that the crisp towels we used were helping us exfoliate our bodies as we dried off after each shower.

The other problem was time. I would have to schedule which load to do which day because I could only fit one load on the drying rack. Which made laundry more of an on-going chore than it already was, and the ironing basket was always full because I was waiting to finish washing ALL the loads. By the time I washed all the clothes, we had more dirty clothes in the hamper. AAUUUGGGG!!

Before Caden was born, we decided that we needed to purchase a dryer. I could not put stiff clothes on a baby--they needed to be soft. However, it was good to live without a dryer because it sure made me appreciate the little things that I take for granted. This week I kept rubbing Breven's back because his T-shirt was so SOOFFFTTT.

This is not the dryer we bought, but it is my dream to one day own a GE Profile. I have liked this one ever since I saw the red models. However, now I'm leaning more towards the navy. Who knows what it will be when we get to make this dream purchase. For now, I'm so pleased and grateful to have a dryer.
