Dear friends,
Here's my question.
Laundry. How often do you do it?
Some like to do it once a week. Some do a load or two a day. Some do it as needed. I've tried them all at one point or another and I'm just not sure which I like. I think it's just always going to be a thorn in my side. I don't mind doing it until I get to the 2 or 3 or 4 (or sometimes just the 1st) load that I have to fold and put away and something comes up and then it just sits in my room and is eventually joined by other loads. It inevitably happens.
Sometimes I wonder why there's so much of it until I remember we are a family of 5. It just sounds like such a big # to me, but the half-pints should just count as 1/2 person when it comes to laundry and not 2, right? right...? Ok, so they make a lot of laundry. But I just wish that it would end. I do all the laundr in the house and a couple of hours later there is almost enough for another load.
It's never-ending, isn't it.
So what has worked for you? Please share.
Sincerely,
Up to her eyeballs in laundry.

This is our family
Kimball is from Orem, Utah and I am from Colonia Juarez, Mexico. We were married in June 2004. We had twin boys (Ross & Rogan) and graduated from BYU in 2006. Tad came along in 2007. After BYU Kimball went straight to the U of U and got a doctorate in Physical Therapy and is practicing in Provo and loves it. I'm just a little busy at home with our 3 little boys (understatement of the century). My life is definitely crazy and busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

I do laundry about 2x's a week so that I don't get too overwhelmed with folding so it may actually get done instead of being piled up on the guest bed!! I would have to say getting someone else to do you laundry is the best answer. Not sure how to convince someone to do that as of yet but one day I may and I will let you know!!
Hmmm . . . . How old are Rogan and Ross? Hopefully you only have another year or two of folding - right!?!?! It sounds like a good twin chore one day!
I do laundry on an as needed basis! I am not a laundry fan - so in my mind - the less often I have to do it the better! If I have clothes to wear - sure I can get myself to wash the little dirty pile - but there is no way I would ever take them out of the dryer and fold them! I do a mass laundry day (when I don't plan on going anywhere) . . . . I wash ALL the clothes and then wait until they are all dried that night before I sit down and fold them! It is a very nice sized pile - but I know that once that pile is finished it is all over - there is no more to fold for at least a week and a half! It is kind of an incentive to buy more clothes so I don't have to wash as often!
right now as I type there is a mountain of laundry in my bedroom that has been there for a couple of days, all I need to do is fold it and put it away. But for some reason I put it off for another day and the mountain keeps getting bigger. I am so glad someone else shares my hate for laundry :) I will get to it...eventually.
i am sitting in laundry right now. yuck. i like doing it on monday and then on saturday. (if i stick to that), it seems much better when i have a routine. but who am i to give you advice? a family of 5 (holy cow!) is much bigger than my family of 2. easter egg hunt? ya? hope so.
I do mine once a week on Sat. I do all the loads and then I sit at night after the kids have gone to bed,watch a movie and fold my mounds of laundry. then I put it all away right when I am done. this works best for me. I only like to have to do it one day a week because I hate doing it. I get it done all in on shot. Hope you find something that works
Definately on an as needed basis for me. It might be nice if I did it routinely though, but I'm just not that disciplined :)
Sorry- that was me in the comment above (I made a dinky blog awhile back to see if I could get rid of some of my old formal wear stuff for moolah. Of course it didn't work so I need to delete it...)
I do mine when I am out of things. Then I'm not usually home long enough to get more than one or two loads through the washer AND dryer, so I probably end up washing twice a week. Folding however? That's another story. If you wait long enough, you've worn everything straight out of the basket! By the way.... seen that billboard for Laundry Gals? If I wasn't so embarrassed of someone else folding my underwear... I might give them a call!!
I try to do mine once or twice a week, but it never seems to work! I guess i'm in the same boat! I feel like its never-ending! Sorry I can't help you out!
I do it once a week - Mondays. I get it done and folded, and sometimes put away :) That's just how I like to do all my chores, get it done - don't spread it out. I like having Mondays for at home work days and then the rest of the week is playtime. But, that's just me
My mother has inspired me, since our Christmas break, to start doing one load a day. I have a habit of letting it all pile up for a week in a disgusting mess in my basement, then washing it all at once, and then letting it sit in a stack of bins in our bedroom where we just pick our clean clothes out. I hate it! Now I just do one small load every day and I have to fold it before I go to bed. It takes like five minutes. And almost all my laundry is done all the time! Amazing! We only have a family of 3, but I do cloth diapers so that adds up.
This wouldn't work for you, but I assign my kids a laundry day and they must get it done and out of the laundry room on that day. I'd say that by the time the boys are 7 you could start teaching them to do their own.:)
You have not blogged in FOREVER! Come back. I miss you!
Congratulations on your anniversary! I never have loved doing laundry either. I found that if I let it, it would over take my life and that was all I would do. So I put my foot down and only did laundry on Monday's and Thursday's. That worked for me, and my family of 9. Good luck!
