That mountain they call laundry!




Laundry is my enemy! It always seems that I am out-numbered! I try to wash a few loads each day. But the more I wash, oddly enough, it seems to multiply! I think my family see's the laundry room emptier than usual, so they load it back up for me! I don't have any method to the way I do laundry. I make my own laundry detergent and use store bought dryer sheets. The soap only takes about 15 minutes to make. And it lasts our family 6 months or more.
I used to wash the kids stuff in different loads than the adults, but I stopped that. It just makes it easier to put it all in together. We used to have one of those Cabrio sets, which does a ton of wash at one time, but since moving into our new home, we have the use of the machines here and they are much smaller than the Cabrio set. So it takes me longer to do laundry because if that as well. Hopefully we'll be able to get another set soon!
Socks also seem to disappear. We have that elusive washing machine sock monster you hear about. A few years back my husband must have gotten tired of me complaining of how I put a set of socks in and only 1 comes out. So he went out and bought me a zipper up laundry bag to put the socks in. Don't you know the first time I used it, one sock was missing from the bag!! LOL We couldn't explain it, and he also never said anything about my complaining again! LOL So now I just throw them in and hope for the best!

How do you organize your laundry??
