Come on down....

One more persons clothes means more laundry! So we have been looking to get a new washer and dryer since before Christmas. We finally ordered a duo yesterday! WOOHOO! The washer /dryer we have now is the stackable sort. So it doesn't hold a whole lot. We will be looking to sell this soon if anyone is looking lol

When MIL saw me yesterday she proudly exclaimed I had a beautiful glow about me (referring to me being pregnant), I immediately corrected her and told her I was glowing because I am the proud new owner of a front loading washer and dryer hehehe We had to pay for the set of course, but I still imagine this is how the winners on the Price is Right feel lol I will certainly be doing some escatic jumping up and down once the new appliances are set up in our house lol

We went with a front loading energy star / HE set by Kenmore from Sears. Not sure if this link will work but it's on the front of this flyer. I can't wait to see how much of a reduction we have in the number of loads I do and our energy bill! Having an HE washer / dryer also makes using cloth diaper more environmentally friendly too!!! The new duo should be here around the middle of April. So we are arranging to have it delivered with the nursery furniture.

Buyers beware... do your research most all new style washers / dryers are actually HE (high effiency) even though only a select few use HE in the branding / product name. The energy usage among them all is very similar. It's amazing how they take these terms like "he" and are able to stick them in peoples brains to get them to spend more money. Energy star seems to be the more well rounded label. If you pull out the tray where the soap goes on most of these washer you will see the little HE logo there.
