Ever feel as though the daily laundry is never ending? Who else feels overloaded with laundry daily? How many times have you come up with a system but no one in the house seems to either understand the system or follow the system?
Is Daily Laundry the Never Ending Story of having to get done?
Sometimes I feel like I need to have a washer and dryer for each member of the family. I contemplate if I should have a section for each person living in the house. Since my original daily laundry system is not working, I need to come up with another solution to the overloaded laundry system. Currently I am in the middle of starting my spring cleaning early. Similar to getting rid of clothes that are worn out and do not fit. I have bins of clothes that no one is wearing and they just sit in the bins.
Donating Laundry to Goodwill is something we always do
How about giving them to goodwill? Yes I do give a bag or two each month to Big Brothers Big Sisters. In addition to donations to goodwill, my husband will swing thru his hometown housing projects and give some of his clothes to family members who might need them. Simultaneously, my children will donate a few of their clothes to their younger siblings and nieces and nephews. Currently putting together the following for Next Month’s pick up.
Big Brothers Big Sisters Items Needed:
- Clothing: Men, Women, Kids, Infants
- Shoes, Handbags and Accessories
- Sheets, Blankets, Towels, Cutains
- Media: Books, DVD’s, CD’s, Software
- Kitchen, Home Decor Items
Does getting rid of laundry mean we now have more space to purchase new clothing?
Well, it does feel good to clean up the house and it feels even better giving our clothes away to others who you know need them and will wear them. However, it also feels good going shopping for new clothes. Also, if you do not fit in your clothes anymore, it might be a good idea to purchase some clothes that fit you. I call this shopping therapy. The worst is when you are in between sizes. Which means you tend to keep the clothes that fit but are too big. How about the clothes you want to wear but they are a little bit snug? However you tend to hold onto them because you decided that you will one day fit back into them. Typical situation.
Your closet is overloaded with Laundry Daily too
Do you see how just doing laundry daily is now turning into a full house cleaning and reorganizing project. First, you wanted to figure out a system for an easier way to get the laundry done, now you are in the process of getting rid of clothes and buying new clothes. Next, you start reorganizing your closet space. Specifically, you start trying on the clothes to see what fits and doesn’t fit. Now, you have clothes all over your bed. How does this fix the solution of overloaded laundry? The simplest answer is, it doesn’t.
