Listen to the trick US mum-of-two, Layla Laurence, recently shared on Mom.me:
"I can’t explain exactly why this final stage of laundry is so damn exhausting to me. I think it has to do with all the bending over, the folding of teeny, tiny clothing that gets lost in the big grown-up clothing and the missing socks. For the love of all that is holy, if I had a shot of vodka for every unpaired sock I found in each load of laundry, I’d be wasted—or dead.
Then, something miraculous happened.
Shortly after my second baby was born, I got fed up with losing her little socks and onesies in the crazy mess of everyone else’s laundry and started washing her baby clothes in a load all of its own. I quickly found that this was the way to go. I literally dumped her hamper into my washer, took the load out of the dryer and transferred it to her changing table where I could easily sort and fold clothes that I knew belonged in that general vicinity. Genius!"
Get that? Just wash the clothes by which room they need to go into – and voila – you have just saved yourself a big chunk of time, mama.
Now, sit back and enjoy that coffee.Explore more on these topics:
