We have TWO weeping willow trees being shipped to us. The plan is to plant one in our front yard and another one in our backyard.
Growing up, I loved the movie My Girl and in it Veda, the main character, writes a very emotional poem about a weeping willow tree and I've always loved them since. One will be for Aiden and the other for Jackson. Awww.
We've done really, REALLY well with not using the dryer and I have to admit, I actually like it a lot. The clothes seem to stay more vibrant longer and I haven't had a single bra get messed up yet!!! THAT'S reason enough to not use the dryer! Haha. We still use it for the "big jobs" like jeans that HAVE to get washed LASTMINUTE and for big thick blankets because we don't have an actual clothes line outside. We have these two stand up clothes hangers that are foldable. I also love the way the house smells with a ton of drying clean clothes! Jackson and Aiden love to "help" me hang the clothes.
