The One Baby Item I Couldn't Live Without: La-Z-Boy

I had my kids in fast succession, especially my two younger ones.

The good thing about having kids so close together in age is that I was in continuous baby mode. After all, how many times do you really want to baby-proof your house or shop for the latest car seat or high chair or breast pump?

Eeeeep! 3 kids - all under 5 years old.
Circa June 2005 when my kids were 4 years old, 2 years old and 9 months old.

Suds Laundry & Dry Cleaners

I'd like to think that I am somewhat efficient in my job as a homemaker. I like to believe that I am capable of maintaining cleanliness and order at home. I am generally on top of things and I try tomake sure that everything is running smoothly.

But if there's anything I don't quite like to do as a homemaker, it's having to go to the dry-cleaners to have C's barongs and suits cleaned. You must be like, "What? There's nothing to it." You see, parking is a pain in the laundromat that is nearest us. Whenever I have to bring something or pick something up from the laundromat, I always set it aside and push it back as much as I can.

So much so that I remember one time when I brought C's suit to the cleaners, and because parking was such a hassle I kept on delaying claiming it until I forgot about it, and I only remembered when we had a wedding to attend and he asked me to take it out from his closet. That's when I remembered it's still with the dry cleaners. Panic! Naturally I hurried over to claim it, only to find out that I lost the claim stub. Patay! I ended having to stay in the laundromat for close to an hour as I helped them look for his suit among the piles of clothes. Of course, I had to show proof of ownership so we also had to trace their old receipts and records for more than 6 months back. Whew! I am sure the attendant was not thrilled with me. Teehee! At di rin ako natuwa sa sarili ko.

Di ba pwede na may laundromat/dry cleaners na may delivery service? Parang Jollibee, McDo or Shakeys? Teehee!

When Suds offered for me to try their laundry/dry clean pick-up service, I did not think twice to say yes! Pick-up ba kamo? Sold!
