Have you ever climbed Mt. Never-Rest? Do you know what I'm referring to? Laundry. It just keeps piling up, whether clean or dirty.
When you think about it, it's practically alive because some fabrics breathe, too much bleach can eat a hole in your clothes, and it multiplies whenever you're not looking.
Not only that, but clean laundry can manage to take over your couch, your favorite chair, your dining table, and can be in danger of taking over your bed. See? It's alive.
Let's tame those piles of clean laundry the Lazy Mom way!
Lazy Mom's motto: Make it easy, make it fun and get it done!
("Lazy" and "Mom" are not usually two words you'd put together in a sentence, are they? But sometimes we moms get tired and we DO feel like being lazy. We've had a long day of doing stuff but there is more to be done! That's when I suggest we do things the Lazy Mom way!)

I don't even want to show you my pile of laundry.
ReplyDeleteI give lazy mom a new name, LOL!
Oh me too, which is why I wrote this. So that I can encourage myself to get it done today! I have a few baskets of clean laundry lying around waiting for me to fold.
DeleteUsually, I can get it folded right away, but I have been avoiding it lately. So I need to go back to my tried and true "lazy mom" method, lol!
That sounds like my Saturday way to do laundry. The sweets are getting me quite plump.
ReplyDelete:) Hope
Hahahaha, me too, Hope! Me too! ;)
DeleteI can't wait to try this with my boys.
ReplyDeleteMy kids would do anything for some candy, lol! ;)
DeleteDoing the laundry is one chore I love to do, don't mind it at all. But when there comes that odd time that I don't fold the clothes after I put them in the laundry basket, it can sit there until the next day. I don't know why. It's like a mental block.
ReplyDeleteI generally don't mind folding the laundry, but I don't really like sorting the laundry.
DeleteI don't have room for a basket organizer in there so I have to sort them and THEN I divide them into individual sorted baskets.
I'd love to have room for an organizer and then train everyone to sort it themselves! :)
Great tip :-) Now if you have any tips on how to keep the little one to unfold while your folding laundry that would be great hehe
ReplyDeleteI know, it's tricky isn't it? When my son was younger I'd give him the wash cloths and small towels to fold.
DeleteBut when they're really little, you are just better off folding things on a table or somewhere that they can't reach, lol!
You made me literally laugh out loud! Laundry is my nemesis. M&Ms are my favorite candy. I typically have a bag hidden somewhere in my home (I have to move the hiding place because the kids can smell it out I think). My 2 year old pointed at your header and said "Mommy?!?"
ReplyDeleteThank you for the laugh, it's good like medicine:)
Bwahahaha! "Mommy?" That's so cute, lol! I used to hide my m&m's too so you're in good company! :)
DeleteI hate laundry! Thank you for linking up at Tending The Home Tuesdays! I am now a follower. I look forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) And thank you for hosting!
DeleteGreat tip - and very relevant. I just came completely unglued over trying to fold the socks!! I come over from http://theunraveledmom.com - I found you via the Courtship Connection. I am joining you on Facebook and twitter. I look forward to following you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and thank you for the follow! Make sure you have lots of m&m's around when you fold those socks, lol! :)
DeleteLove these ideas. Except, now I'm trying to lose weight, sigh. So no more (or very few m&Ms for me). :) LOVE the idea with the kids. Thanks for a lovely visit from Faith-Filled Friday.
ReplyDeleteWell, you can substitute carrots for m&m's but it won't be nearly as exciting! ;)
DeleteI always love to see your motto!! You just reminded me of some blankets I have to take out of the dryer. I was being lazy being that I 'worked' all day. These posts are always so fun!!
ReplyDeleteI love a warm blanket out of the dryer. So nice and soft and warm. A cold blanket is no fun so make sure you run it through for a few minutes to warm it up, lol!
DeleteGreat tips!
ReplyDeleteWould love for you to link it up at my new Empty Your Archive link party which is a chance to dust off great posts from your archive - there is a focus this week on laundry - would really love to see you there, Alice @ Mums Make Lists x
