I know that laundry is something that everyone has to do. I know that it is the frustration of many mothers……and I KNOW MY COUCH GROWS LAUNDRY!! I used to think that I just couldn’t keep up with it…then I got smart and figured it out. It is not my fault that I can’t keep up with the laundry. It is most definitely my couch’s fault.
In all seriousness, I struggle with keeping up my laundry. Especially in the summer months when we play in the water all the time and go through a few outfits a day. Laundry is hard for me. Yet, it is a big part of Motherhood.
Here are few tricks I have learned in my almost eight years of Motherhood:
- Once it is folded, put it away ASAP…otherwise, clean laundry will turn into dirty laundry and it will be like it was never done!!
- Do laundry OFTEN, even every day…a load a day keeps the couch growing laundry away.
- Have your children put their clothes in the dirty hamper when they are done. Have them hang their wet towels up when they are finished drying off.
- Teach children how to fold laundry. It may not be done just the way you want it, but it will get done quicker and you are teaching them valuable tools at the same time.
Laundry is and will always be one of my least favorite things to do. But I will keep trucking along and try to master it…some way, some how!!
What are some tips and tricks you have learned to staying on top of your laundry?

Oh my Heidi… this post made me smile- smile because I have a spare bedroom that laundry grows out of too…. we all suffer for this horrid chore!
Nathan’s rugby kit needs washing 3 times a week (5 times in pre session training at the moment) which competes with my main laundry.
I hate to think what it will be like if I have sons as tall or sporty as Nathan…. I can’t even keep up now!
