I wanted to talk about washing and drying clothes today. I already make and use my own laundry detergent- which I LOVE! I have a schedule that I use where everyday of the week I do a different load of laundry. Here it is:
Monday- Whites
Tuesday- Boys clothes
Wednesday- Sheets and towels
Thursday- Brittany
Friday- Daniel
I do it this way so I don't have to be overwhelmed by a mountain of laundry on one or two days. I thought that I wouldn't have enough clothes to fill it up, because I re-wear pants and shirts if they don't get dirty. Most days I have plenty because the boys get messy, or I spill on myself or the kids spill on me, or the dogs leave a mess where I use towels, etc. If there is a small load, I go around the house to the different hampers to see if they have extra. If there isn't enough to have a load, I wait another week. So some weeks I am only doing two loads a week! That is really awesome! What do you guys do to conserve washing clothes?
So long.

That's neat you've been able to stick to a schedule. Lately anymore I just wash when I realize there's a lot and I just throw everything in together. Maybe not the best strategy, but hey, they get clean. (:
