Working Moms, Check out this Ultimate Laundry Room!
I went to a holiday party this weekend at a private home in Rancho Sante Fe, Ca. The gracious host was directing everyone to her laundry room to store their coats. I just had to snap a picture to share with all of you (with her permission of course and a little help from my friend, Vana White Monica Lucas, Owner of SpaMode who was dressed in white and looking like a snow princess 
).
Maybe some of your laundry rooms look just like this one but mine doesn’t. Six Figure Moms, can you just imagine how much quicker you could finish up your laundry to do list if you had a combination washer/dryer for each color load? Well, this lucky household had just that plus a beautufil travertine top folding counter! I think I could make a lot of progress on my work-life balance with a laundry room like this since you have to be able to finish up in a fraction of the time!
So print this out and add this to your vision board/treasure maps for 2009. This seems like a must have for every working mother! Heck, I didn’t even know they made machines that both washed and dried. Super awesome! Speaking of vision boards, Six Figure Moms Club-San Diego will be meeting on January 22 for a super goal setting event. Stay tuned for detail but pencil it in your calenders. Until then, happy laundry!

No thanks Angie! This level of excess frightens me. Carbon footprint bigger than Godzilla. How about one tricked out washer/dryer (which have been available in Europe for years due to space and energy requirements)then donate the other $30,000 to families who have nothing?
And on the laundry point, I have a great system which requires only one set of machines. I learned this trick from my friend who has four under five. Do one load each day without fail and you’ll never have the ten load mountain to tackle.
I’be been thinking a lot about my New Year goals. My theme will be what to embrace and what to keep battling.

I would love to have an organized laundry room, but then, I hate laundry, so it would also have to have a disco ball for it to be a good thing for me. Maybe just one set of these lovely machines; silver to match the shine from the disco ball.
As for the comment about one load a day… I’ve heard of that and all I can think is: OH. MY. GOD. I do laundry twice a week and that’s all the laundry I want to look at.
I wish I lived back in my old neighborhood in Marin. You can drop off all your laundry and pick it up in two days; $1/lb. Sweet!!
One load a day? Who has that life – A mom with 4 kids under age 5? I’d like her machine! My little family generates an average of 1.5 loads per day in a standard machine – my two friends with 5 kids each, are well over 2 loads per day. When it’s like that, you pretty much do your 2 loads every day to keep from building a mountain that avalanches across the rest of your life!
Lucky for Sugar Jones she can think in terms of days on instead of days off. What other regular duties do other moms think of that way?
Julie: Days instead of Days Off?? I must be tired… I don’t get what you mean.
Time for more coffee!
