Last week, I finally caught up on laundry. After Christmas-break-craziness and a January of e-book-tunnel-vision, my Laundry Loveseat was finally back to being . . . just a loveseat. All it took was one Family Folding Night. And the kids didn't mind at all helping with the folding and putting away. Actually, I'm just assuming they didn't … [Read more...]
Sometimes It’s Fun to Do Laundry!
Thankfully, having a Laundry Day has worked for me for quite a long time now. We generally make it through the week with undies to spare, and I thoroughly enjoy the fact that I don't have to worry about laundry on the other six days of the week. But there's one thing that makes me antsy to get to the washing machine: BARGAINS!!! In my … [Read more...]
So the Clothes are Clean . . . Now What?
I keep up with laundry. Really . . . I do. For over a year now, I've been doing all of our laundry on Mondays, and that system works for us. And for my Slob Brain. No more one-load-a-day-delusions that just end in the same one load being washed every day for a week because I keep forgetting to put it in the dryer. But then, similar … [Read more...]
Oh, That’s Right! It’s Monday . . .
My days are all confused. I am bone weary from my non-stop learning at the Savvy Blogging Summit, and haven't quite registered that today is the beginning of a brand new week. But when this pile outside my laundry room caught my eye, I realized that today is Monday. Because Monday is Laundry Day. And today is the day when hubby knows … [Read more...]
No Sheet-Folding Show Offs Here
When it comes to me and sheets, folding is a bit of a relative term. I do try, but the end result looks more like wadding. I've been doing my sister-in-law's laundry since their house sold, and this week they brought their sheets. Washing them? No problem. Sheets make a big load but dry quickly so I feel like I've really accomplished … [Read more...]
Doing What Works . . . Or at Least Works Better
It was a good idea. An idea proven by many wonderful mothers and housekeepers since the invention of laundry baskets and drawers, I'm sure. But it just doesn't work for me right now. About three or four weeks ago, I started putting folded laundry directly into baskets for each family member. It's so much prettier and … [Read more...]
Clue #2 in The Messy Master Bedroom Mystery
We/I have too many clothes. I've known this, and the first clue in the Messy Master Bedroom Mystery was related to this concept as well. But I had a slap-in-the-face moment this morning when I went looking for baskets. See, I'm trying a new method. Not new as in earth-shattering-no-one-has-ever-thought-of-it-before, but new as in … [Read more...]
Organizing the Laundry Room
The initial title that popped into my head was "Re-organizing the Laundry Room." Then I thought, "Ummm, who am I kidding?" I've cleaned my laundry room before. I've even given another go at using my unbelievably-cool-so-why-can't-they-solve-all-of-my-problems stackable laundry baskets. But still, that was my before pic. This time, … [Read more...]
What to Do With Dirty Kitchen Towels When Laundry Day is a Week Away
There's laundry. And then there's kitchen laundry. Meaning, wet laundry. My mother did a great job of instilling the fear of wet laundry in me. Not that I always handle it like I should . . . but at least I'm afraid of it. I've seen wonderful ideas from people who have it more together than I do. They have special drying areas, or … [Read more...]
