Random laundry confessions

Is it just me or is laundry crazy


We have 5 people in our house

Towels alone for the week are 16-20 towels......a week

You have bedding for 4 beds so that is 4 fitted sheets, we are blanket people to at least 2 blankets per bed so 8 blankets and then 10 pillow cases.

That alone is 4 loads of laundry

Clothes

The kids clothes are smaller but man they go through more. They each have a pair of pj's per day and Sissy and Marshall have a undershirt to go with that. Then they have an outfit for the day. Plus socks.
So in one day we amass 3 pairs of pj's, 4 undershirts, 3 t-shirts, 3 pairs of pants, and 3 sets of socks.

Kids clothes alone I do 3 loads of laundry a week because for sure at least 2 days a week someone spilled on themselves and so outfit changes it is.

During hockey season that is a whole load by it self.


Michael has a load of work clothes

And then we do two loads of our laundry.

11-12 loads of laundry a week......I get why the Duggars needed all those washer and dryers. I would love a double washer and dryer right about now.

How young is too young to make kids do their own laundry?


I usually only have to do one of the kids loads because my aunt washes two loads on Tuesday's when she watches them. She also does a load of towels for us and folds it all. And then everyone said AMEN!!!!

Plus tell me I'm not alone in that I feel like when I'm putting laundry away that's a whole project every time. Kids grow out of thing/stain things every week it seems and so I feel like I'm constantly putting things into piles and re-organizing drawers.
Grayson's clothes have to get packed away for Marshall as he outgrows them. Marshall and Charlotte's clothes get packed up and given to my sister for her one day babies and some of Charlotte's clothes go to my sweet niece Jordy.

I spent 2.5 hours going through the babies dressers organizing and cleaning them out. Then I changed all the sheets, dusted and vacuumed.

I spent an additional 3 hours going through Grayson dresser and the next size clothes that he is growing into and organizing all of that stuff. We went through his books and stuffed animals and dusted and vacuumed his room as well.

I wanted to get our room done this weekend too but ha! That did not happen. So now I have that on my to do this next weekend.


Also my husband has super sensitive skin and I can only use Tide to wash our clothes. I buy the pods and we go through a big container about every 3ish weeks. Oh and my favorite stain spray is the OxiClean Max.....it gets out anything even chocolate stains that someone forgot to spray and you washed and dried the clothes just let it sit overnight and then wash and BAM good as new.



That is just my random laundry talk for the day because it consumed my Sunday!

Happy Monday!

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Friday Random

Sometimes it's nice to just write about what is going on. So here it goes....... I took Grayson to the store with me to grab a gift card. We can into Dollar General the store I have a love/hate relationship with. The isle's are so crowded and there are a million and one things for Grayson to grab. Needless to say he grabbed tic-tacs, a phone charger and certs all within the first 2 seconds of being there. Once I got him wrangled he asked for a "Dora ba-la-loon" (balloon) I agreed since he had gotten a super good report from school that day. And hey it was a dolla so why not. So we get the balloon, the gift card, and the cards I needed for father's day and head to checkout. Where he grabs to candy bars and laughs because he knows it's naughty. Anyway we get cashed out after lots of redirection and head to the car where he does not want to hold my hand in the parking lot because he wants to run! So I grab his arm and the whole time he is yelling "no m...
