Sunday afternoon we celebrated the upocoming birth of a sweet baby girl. The shower was at our house and it took a lot of prep work to get Casa Greer in tip top shape for guests! In order to get "stuff" out of the dining and livng areas, the laundry room became the dumping ground. The house shinned, the guests dinned, the fellowship abounded and the baby was loved; however, it may take the better part of the week to sort through the mess and make sure it doesn't end of back on my dinning room table. All worth it of course!
As a side note, the laundry room isn't well organized on a good day, but it was the actual selling point of the house. We were moving from a precious 1930's house (that I still miss from time to time, memories...) but the washer and dryer were in the middle of the already cramped kitchen. I'm not one for washing, drying, folding and putting away a load of laundry all at one time, so clean and dirty clothes scattered across my kitchen with 3 children age 2 and under was a bit of a nuisance; plus there were the two black labs! Of course, I'm grateful we had the hook-ups, but when we (I) saw the beauty of a room, dedicated solely to the purpose of laundry, I heard the angels sing! Ok, a little dramatic, but I love my messy little room where I can pile it high and still shut the doors, hid from the eyes of unsuspecting guests and I now I guess all of the www!

Ha! Nora - this post made me laugh! Our current "laundry room" is in our garage, and I HATE it! No more throwing something in the dryer to get the wrinkles out in the morning. A room solely devoted to laundry is a prerequisite in my next house! :)
