Higher Times: Laundry

Saturday, January 12, 2008

How do you larger families do it? I can't keep up.

Marcia Mickelson said...: There is a lot to keep up with. One short cut that I use is this: I keep a white laundry basket in the bottom of my closet that is for grown-up whites. A blue laundry basket in Nolan's closet for dark clothes. So, when I do laundry, it's already sorted out. In my kids, room, under Omar's bed is a white laundry basket for all theiry white clothes and in their blue hamper, goes colored clothes. They know where to put their clothes and I never have to sort. It's already sorted. I have a seperate bag for towels. I just had to train the family a little, but they put their dirty clothes in the appropriate places and I just grab a basket and go. It saves a lot of time. Hope that helps!; January 13, 2008 at 10:34 PM

Okay, so we have 4 kiddos and here's what we do:
AT LEAST load of laundry each night - during the week. On Saturday we do ALL the laundry and on Sunday we take a break!; January 16, 2008 at 4:35 PM
