No more sorting. No more placing individual pairs of socks in individual sock drawers. Big socks for big boys and little socks for little boys, color coded by stitching. If you are a mom and you have clean boys’ socks from the laundry, there is only one place to put them. If you are a boy and you need a pair of clean socks, there is only one place

January 29th, 2008 A mom writes: I am curious about how much clothing you have per child? I am going nuts over here with the amount. God provides! We are so very thankful — all our clothes have been hand me downs. But, they just keep coming! I know that I can say no thank you but I think to myself, maybe there is just one or 2 or more outfits that we September 2nd, 2007 Okay, if ever I doubted the fall of man here is incontrovertible proof that we live in a fallen world — Clothing. No I’m not talking about scandalous fashions. I mean clothing of all kinds. And the fact that we have to store it, sort it, and switch over closets full of the ridiculous stuff at least twice a year. Ever since Adam and Eve donned the first fig leaves, August 13th, 2007 A Reader asks: Am I the only one going crazy with laundry??? I need some ideas for taming the laundry beast. I only have 3 children (so far) but they are all fairly young — 6, 4, and 2. If I don’t stay on top of the laundry, it gets out of control and I get overwhelmed. When I get overwhelmed, I find reasons to put off folding it all. August 9th, 2007 It happened again. Yesterday I received an email from someone requesting that I post a copy of my chore chart. I’d be happy to comply, except for the small annoying fact that … I don’t have one. That’s right. No chore chart. No “system” at all really to speak of when it comes to family chores. Does this mean that my house is a wreck and that my children are November 12th, 2006 So I had this great idea to get the kids all “uniforms” to wear to Mass. I got the girls these great skirtswith Peter Pan collared white blouses. I got the boys pleated navyslacks with white, long-sleeved polo shirts. I even bought Gabrielle asuper-cute navy jumper to wear that she adored. We keep their “Mass uniforms” together in one drawer where they arealways clean and ready to wear to Mass. October 3rd, 2006 This afternoon I got a phone call from a friend who was drowning. Inher living room. And in her kitchen and bedroom, the truth be told. Theculprit? Clutter. She called me in a moment of desperation because herhouse, she feared, was closing in on her. Have you ever felt that way? I take my clutter policing job seriously. I tried to talk my friendthrough the process of identifying the causes June 1st, 2006 Well, I’ll be darned. Oxiclean has gone and done what up until now I thought was perfectly impossible. Not only did it get the boys’ grass stained baseball clothes cleaner-than-they’ve-ever-been without a minute of scrubbing, it’s gone and done something even more amazing: It has awakened my inner laundry geek. Suddenly, laundry is fun. It’s a game that I can win. Last night when the baby sat on a plate |
