Brent gave me an odd Christmas present. No, not the 3 minute a day cell phone. . . that none of you will ever get the number of since it is far too risky to start handing that out.
He gave me 5 small mesh laundry bags. I don't know what brought this on because he doesn't do laundry EVER. . . but I guess my constant complaints about my difficult life got the wheels turning.
Each kid has their own mesh bag hanging in their closet. All of their used undies and sockies go straight off their body and into the baggie (Theoretically. We are still working on the "straight" part with some of them).
On laundry day I collect the zipped up bags, throw them in with a load, then deliver them back to their room for them to match and put away. No more ever growing miss matched sock basket and no more wasting time sorting panties and sockies by size into five little piles.
It is genius. Maybe that's what these bags were always intended for, but it took someone way smarter than me to figure them out.
You should be doing this too. Some people have told me that they safety pin socks together putting them into the laundry basket??? Try getting 7 people to take the time to do that. Not gonna happen. This is . . . MUCH better. It's pure genius!
Very good Christmas present, Brent.

wow brent. i don't even know what to say i'm so impressed.
That is AWESOME! Totally am going to try it. I had just about decided that socks were disposable around here...
ANd I don't have five, but four is close enough, right?
Great idea, Brent! Don't you love it that our husbands like to help us out? Tom's been helping me get more organized, too.
