Getting Organised for when school goes back

Hope everyone had a fantastic Australia Day! I spent my day listening to Triple J Hottest 100 and watching the cricket.

Were at that time of year again, were the kids go back to school and most parents are working, the time to do washing and putting away of clothes gets less and less especially when the after school activities start. So here is my tip on how to make washing easier through out the year.

First up, I know its mostly common sense but make sure every bedroom has a washing basket. That way there are no excuses for clothes on the floor. I know how much more time and effort it takes to run around the house on washing day looking for dirty clothes and towels. I make sure there is a hamper in the bathroom as well just to be sure.

Just like my hamper at home divided into lights and darks.

What I like to do is once a week gather all my family's washing and head down to the Lilydale Supa Laundrette. Now I know that seems self serving but hear me out. What used to drive me the most crazy about washing day was how long my washing machine took to get through a load of washing. Now I head down to the laundromat and load up the dexter front loaders, I split my clothes into lights and darks, and exactly 23 mins later I have clean clothes. Doing the washing is no longer an all day event for me.

Secondly, this is the practice I struggle with the most, folding and putting the washing away. If I don't take the extra time to fold the washing as im taking it out of the dryer or as im pulling it off the line then it will sit there for a day or so while I find time to fold it. So I heartily recommend folding it straight away.

Lastly, many hand make light work.This is especially true of washing. If you have kids or a partner get them to help, make it part of the kids chores. Its as easy as putting dirty clothes in the washing hampers or putting away the clean and folded clothes. I have a specific spot that I put the clean clothes in after every washing day so that my kids can put them away in their own cupboards, they are the ones who have to wear the items after all and it makes for less calls of "Mum I cant find my school dress" because they know where they keep it instead of having to know where I keep it. If that makes sense

Anyway hope my tips help. I know that I use them in my house hold. Hope to see you down the laundrette.
