Simplifying Laundry Day

I went on my Instagram stories a couple of weeks ago asking for advice on how people handle laundry day, and for tips on not letting it be a constant source of stress.  I got so many amazing tips, and probably just as many people asking that I share my favorite pieces of advice.  I didn’t take one persons advice, but rather combined a few things that I loved, and really thought about what part of laundry day at our house was causing such a hold up.  For me I realized that the biggest issue wasn’t as much in getting laundry done, but sorting and putting it away.  That isn’t a step I can do while the kids are sleeping so it seemed to be why we constantly got backed up.  I decided to try a new plan I will tell you about below, and laundry has become so much less stressful in our home!

Simplifying Laundry Day

Each of the kids have a laundry baskets now have a basket in their own room.  This has taught them responsibility in putting their laundry in their own spaces.  Once a week, or if the baskets are full before that, ONE persons laundry is washed, dried and put back in their basket, then immediately put away.  The smaller loads also made the drier go about twice as fast to speed things up.

Towels are done separately as well, and sheets are done in their own loads.  I know this sounds like a simple fix, but its been a complete game changer for our family.
