Winning the Laundry Battle: Strategies for Success

Not enough clothes to make it? 

You know I love a good laundry day. I love getting all the clothes washed and put away in one space in my week. When this system is in full play I am not constantly thinking about getting things started, switching out the loads, and getting it all put away. Instead, I just have one day dedicated to getting it all done. 

Often when I talk to mamas about implementing a system like this, of either doing all laundry in one day or even just doing a select group of people’s laundry 1x a week, something I hear from mamas is that they don’t think they could, or their kids could make it a week without doing laundry. 

If not having enough socks or underwear makes you have to interrupt your day to do a load to make it through the week, I would like to permit you to buy some more. This is one thing that I feel deserves to break my hard line that less is always more, when it becomes more stressful to have less, it is not worth it. So…

Buy that extra set of sheets so that if they are not dry in time your kid will still have sheets on their bed when you want them to go to bed. 

Buy that extra pair of underwear for yourself, so that your schedule is not dictated by realizing you are out! 

Buy a few more shorts for your son to make it through the week. 

Pay attention this week to the things that come up short and grab an extra. You are amazing, mama. 

I hope that you have a blessed week with so much clean laundry!
