A lot of people have commented on what our laundry piles must look like or the fact that I am always doing laundry with a family as big as ours. Here is my #1 laundry tip that I started doing when we were fostering and I could no longer keep track of what laundry item belonged to who. I gave everyone their own laundry basket to keep in the laundry room. All dirty clothes were put in there and the kids were responsible for getting their own clothes in there. Each person then got assigned their own day, including us parents. I would run a load of colors and a load of whites for that specific person and then go put them away when they were clean and then laundry was done for that day. Their bedding would also get washed on their laundry day if needed. Made things tons easier as I only had that one person's laundry to fold and put on hangers and put away and I didn't have to overthink it on who's pants were these or who does this belong to? It was also a good way to know that each person had their laundry done each week. Try it! It works and it takes some of the stress off of climbing Mount Laundry!
