New Use For That Baby Monitor

February 12th, 2007 by Elaine · 1 Comment

If you have a baby monitor, put the base in the laundry room so that no matter where you (and the receiver) are in the house, you can hear when the washer or dryer is finished!

Our laundry room is on the second floor. Without the baby monitor, I couldn’t hear the buzzer when I was working on my computer in the basement. Hours would go by before I remembered the damp laundry in the washer waiting to be dried.

If Sammy hears the end of cycle signal through the monitor, he tells me, “Mommy, your laundry is beeping!”

So go ahead and put that old baby monitor to good use!
