Okay, so it appears that I'm on somewhat of a blogger-break. I've got a ton of information zipping around in my head from the NICHE conference, it seems we are constantly filling up our calendar, and then of course are the normal household chores - grocery shopping, laundry, showering/bathing everyone, etc. You get it! Due to project overload, "It's a great day..." is getting put on the back burner - which is TOTALLY fine! Or I could just leave you in great suspense and say "I've got something brewing....it's gonna be good....stay tuned!!!" How does that make you feel?? Excited...right?
Truth: The first part. :o)
Since I'm here typing....and since you've come to visit my blog, I guess I could share a little tip or something....
OH! Got it! At the conference I went to a seminar about saving time or it may have been the one on saving money....anyway.... The speaker was talking about doing laundry. She has/had 8 daughters! so you could imagine the piles!!! When it came down to socks, it was just too much! So, she bought the lingerie mesh wash bags ($.97 @ WalMart) and tied a colored ribbon to each one (basically color-coded the kids) and when the kids took off their dirty socks, they'd go into their assigned bags. When the bags were full enough, the bag would go directly into the washer and then into the dryer....and then into their perspective laundry piles! NO MORE SORTING SOCKS! AWESOME!
There you go. There's my nugget for the day :o) Take it and run with it!!!
Have a great day!

You can always make me laugh and smile. I really like you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that AmandaJunebug, I love the idea, I only wished we had it when you were all home. But, I put it into practice for your DaddeO'. He is so weird about his socks anyway, so I got 2 bags one for cleaning and dirty. Anyway, I noticed yesterday he slipped a pair of dirty into the basket instead. Now were talking a mere 3 inch hole difference, but I chalked it up to be tired, overworked, hot and hungry. I know you thought I would throw in the other word. HAHA, anywhooooo. I like it cuz I don't have to sort he just grabs them and goes. Now he hasn't commented either way. So time will tell if he likes it or not. I will let you know. Love to you my darling.
