Wash Day

I had to change something that wasn't working for me anymore. I used to do one load of laundry every day. That was when everyone lived upstairs and it was easy to go from room to room collecting clothes. Now my son is downstairs and I prefer to do laundry once every 5-6 days instead. I have the kids bring their baskets to the laundry room, I wash and dry and fold all the clothes. I do the ironing and I have the kids take their baskets to their rooms and put their clothes away.

Laundry is one of my favorite chores. No, I wouldn't choose laundry over jumping on the trampoline with my kids but I would definitely choose it before cleaning the bathrooms. I always feel good when it's finished and everything is put away. Then I don't have to think about it again for another 6 days. I don't get off that easy with dishes and floors.
