Boy’s Laundry Baskets

I have not done a Works for Me Wednesday post in quite some time. I would like to tell you it was because I was so efficient that I just could not choose one thing to highlight. Yeah – you aren’t buying that are you? I don’t blame you. Life gets busy and then I just sit in front of the computer wondering what the heck I think works well in my house! I have to tell you that one of the things that is so time consuming in this house is laundry. Just imagine, a hubby and three boys, the laundry can be endless. I always bring the laundry to my room and fold it on my bed. I can see the boys from there so I can see if they are getting in trouble rather than just hear. However, after 3 or 4 loads, the piles are overwhelming. And before you say it, I know, I could put them all away after each load. But honestly, I find it easier to make sure all the shirts are in the same pile whether they are white or black. I am just a little picky like that. So on my bed sits all this laundry. I decided some time ago that the boys would help put away some of their clothes. You know, the ones that can be thrown in a drawer with little care and still be ok. I normally hand each one a couple pairs or socks or underwear and they make a couple trips from my room to theirs. I grew a little weary of this relay and decided to fix it. I went to the dollar store and picked up a couple rectangle baskets with handles in different colors. Now, as I fold their socks or underwear, I put them in the baskets. After all the laundry is folded, I simply hand the basket to them. They have one trip to their room and then they return the basket for the next laundry day. it works for me!
