I once heard a lady say "Quit trying to get caught up on laundry, because unless your willing to go naked, what are you wearing? That's right, potential laundry." So I did, I quit trying to be caught up and I simply try to keep up. As a family of six, including a darling, drooly baby, we produce a ton of laundry. This is my system, I wash and dry at least one load every day, but I refuse to sort and put away every day simply because it may possibly be my least favorite household job. If kids are old enough to help clean up their toys they are old enough to put their clothes away as long as there is a place for everything*.Tips to cut down on laundry:
Have your kids wear their PJ's at least twice (unless they spill on them.)
Own 50 or so white wash cloths** so you don't have to fold everyday, unless you really love it. Wear your jeans more than once, unless dirty obviously, it extends the life of your jeans too!
If you have daughters (like mine) who insist on changing their clothes 10 times a day make sure when they clean up they don't just throw everything in the hamper (again, like mine used too :)
