Organizing Kids Clothes
Please tell me I am not the only mother who has a daughter who will change clothes 18 times a day if I let her!
I got this idea from a mom with ten kids. If she can keep her girl’s clothes orderly, maybe I can too!
Brandi’s tip:
“I started putting their clothes into outfits as I washed them. Underwear, pants, and shirt. All on one nice little hanger. Now all they have to do is take one hanger down and they have all their clothing for the next day. The system works so well, that now I put the boys clothes in outfits in their dresser. Can I just say how much easier it is to reach in and grab an entire outfit, opposed to having to look through drawers to find a shirt, then another to find the pants?!I don’t have the closet space to devote a hangar to each outfit, but I can try folding clothes together. We’ll see if it makes our mornings any easier. Let me know if her tip helps any of you!

I think this is a great idea for my 3 yr old who has started picking out his own clothes. I’m going to fold a set of clothes inside a shirt!!

I’m not sure what was up with the heading, Sorry!!
One of my laundry tips, if possible wash of each persons clothes together. There are very few things that can not be washed together. This way you have already done a big part of the sorting!

dory, i totally agree with washing people’s clothes together – in a household of 6, it’s a huge timesaver!
i’m going to have a post next week about making your own laundry detergent – something i was very hesitant to do because i wasn’t sure how well it would work or how much time it would take – but it was quick & easy and the detergent works great!
