Is this White or Dark?

If a white shirt has red trim . . . is it white or dark?  (ok–that is totally made up–I don’t buy any thing in red, first of all AND I do not buy white shirts with trim of any color!)

I dislike laundry.

As my family grow I have had to change how I manage our laundry system.  As the clothes get bigger I need to wash clothes more often–because the hamper get fuller quicker.

These are the ways that I am currently managing our laundry.

  1. A house rule is that clothes are on your body, in a drawer or in the hamper.
  2. I wash athletic clothes separately.
  3. I will ONLY wash a full load of clothes.
  4. I have a lingerie bag for socks–I wash all the socks together–no matter what the color.  I do not sort socks.
  5. Each bedroom has a different collection process–see photos below.
  6. My laundry system has evolved from this post.
  7. I am sure that my laundry management system will continue to change :-)
upcycled tank tops as hanging laundry baskets (also great for diapers)

upcycled tank tops as hanging laundry baskets (also great for diapers)  I have seen this idea using “team” shirts.

I found these at Target and they fit perfectly!  Love it when that happens!

my new 31 bag that has a divider–dark on one side–light on the other–or not!

I do dislike laundry but I am blessed with little people to wear the clothes, clean water to wash them and hands to fold and pray!  Be Blessed.

    Ooh! I like the upcycled tank top idea! Laundry is one area I’m still struggling with. I went too long without purging and now I feel that’s all I ever do. Thanks for these tips, Renee! I’m going to try it out.

      Anastasia–the tank tops work great for little kid clothes but after 5 years old the clothes are just too big. But I like to carry the clothes to their rooms in the tank tops as well . . . I fold 12 x 4 inches–that size stacks nicely in the tank tops.

      Be Blessed.
