My master bedroom is . . . . clean. Like, normal person clean. No, it's not a fluke. I've spent the last two full weeks doing a major overhaul in there. And as long as the door to the bathroom is closed, I'd almost let any random person see it. Almost. There's this one major eyesore. The Laundry Mountain. Even though we now … [Read more...]
I Think I Get It Now . . . Sort Of
Once upon a time, in a period of my life when the most protected, coveted, dreamed about, if-you-ring-my-doorbell-please-be-prepared-to-explain-why-I-should-not-cut-you-out-of-my-life-forEVER hour of my day was . . . NapTime . . . I remember having a strange and baffling conversation with another young mother. Our boys had played together for … [Read more...]
Teaching Kids to do Laundry – (Laundry Day Lesson Plan)
Thanks to Discount Cleaning Products for sponsoring June's posts in this series! I shared earlier this week that I'm in survival mode. It's VBS week combined with get-ready-to-fly-across-the-country-with-three-kids week. Waaaahhhhhh!!!!

Age Appropriate Laundry Tasks for Kids
My goal is always to let/have kids do as much as they are truly capable of! Here are some age-appropriate laundry task ideas. I'd love to hear your ideas! All ages : Gather and sort laundry.

Obvious Progress
See those (obviously) winter coats and jackets hanging from my ever-so-cute hooks right inside the door? Yeah . . . I didn't. At least I didn't see them until about a week ago. Even though temps have been hitting 90 for about a month now. So yesterday, as we did our first Summer Laundry Day and attempted to remove everything winter or … [Read more...]
Hamper-less
I promise, it's not Laundry Week here at A Slob Comes Clean. But really, I have to share the demise of my hamper. The hamper that my 10yo carried to the laundry room on Sunday night to sort clothes, only to realize the hamper was empty. Y'know, because the bottom had fallen out. I'm pretty sure the bottom fell out because the front fell … [Read more...]
Rabbit Clothes
I'm not actually going to write about clothes for rabbits. Though I must say . . . animals-wearing-people-clothes is one of my favorite things. For some r eason, that sight always makes me happy. Especially monkeys. What is it about a monkey in shorts and a t-shirt that makes me want to giggle? Anyway, back to the … [Read more...]
Clothing Management – Hanging Vs. Folding
Over the past few years, I've become a hanger. Not a hanger hanger, but a hang-er. Someone who hangs. You know what I mean, right? Anyway, it started when my oldest began wearing uniforms in first grade. Before that, it was all comfy-boy-clothes all the time. But once he wore khakis and collared shirts all week, it seemed like the … [Read more...]
My New Laundry Tactic
MY new tactic. I'm pretty sure those why-would-anyone-do-it-another-way-when-this-way-makes-sense types have been doing this since the invention of dryers. Once upon a time, I owned quite a collection of laundry baskets. They represented my dreams of an organized laundry system that would make it possible to never have to peek around the … [Read more...]
