Four days after our move, our washer went kaput (after 12 years of faithful service). This occurred on a day that Claire decided to try to, erm, clean up her poopy diaper while in her crib for a nap. So, Husband did fast research on Consumer Reports, and we went to Sears. We now have a high-efficiency washer and matching dryer! In the video below, Claire demonstrates the attitude that I try to live by as written about by my friend, Karen Maezen Miller of Cheerio Road.
