I can’t believe that the Mommy Reality Challenge set up by Jen, Carolyn and Celeste is into it’s fifth week already. Where does the time go?
This week the challenge is to take a picture of the laundry room and to share it, so that other busy Mums can see that they are not alone when it comes to not always managing to clean and tidy up – we are all human after all!
We don’t actually have a laundry room, which I think is a bit of a Godsend! I don’t think I could handle having another room to organise or clean as I battle with keeping on top of things as it is and that’s with two teenage ‘helpers’ – choke, splutter – and a small house.
We are lucky enough though to have a back balcony, where we keep the washing machine, freezer and the two extra fridges that we use in the summer. The only problem is that the appliances are not fully protected from the weather, although there is an overhanging roof, in the winter the rain comes right under and that coupled with the islands damp climate causes them to rust.
As you can see from the picture above, it’s not a pretty sight. Hubby Dearest did sand and paint the freezer at the end of last summer, but once the rust sets in it keeps coming back. The washing machine and freezer are where the dogs food is dished out and where the not so friendly stray cat that we feed, eats.
The laundry baskets are outside the bedrooms. Today they are looking okay, the orange one is where the children put their dirty clothes and as I have not long done a wash there are no clothes hanging out of it or lying on the floor.
If this where taken in the winter when I battle to keep up with the washing and drying, the picture would not look quite like this, but at the moment I can wash and dry a load on the line in the matter of hours……I love the summer!
What does your laundry room look like?
If you’ve not yet linked up to The Mommy Reality Challenge, you still have time. Just take a photo of your laundry room as is and link your post to The Mommy Reality Challenge #5.
