Sorry for the delay..

So, I'm back! With several days of wrestling matches, and being called into work, I have not posted! But never fear, I will make up for being gone.

I don't know about you, but for me the weekends are about finishing up the last week, taking a pause and getting ready for the next week. I am not one of those people that only does laundry on Saturday, but if I waited, I would be doing it till the next Saturday! I will let you in on a tip that saved me so much time in my life concerning laundry.
I was always so frustrated while doing laundry because everyone would come get something out of the bottom of the pile that was folded (waiting to be all done and put away). So, my lifesaver and dear friend Jenni,who has 3 DC(dear children), told me her system..or secret, however you want to look at it. Every person has their medium size basket, with their name labeled nicely or scribbled either way, those DC's don't care! So, as you fold your laundry fresh out of the dryer, or tumbled for the 2nd time..you put right in their basket. Not saving the world, but it is SIMPLIFYING your life. Now, here is the best part!! I am jumping with delight, and you will be too...your DC can take their baskets and put their clothes away!! Now us CF(control freaks) first response was.."but their clothes and dresser will be a mess and their clothes will be wrinkled." Yes, they might be. The world is still going to revolve, and your children will be alive. They will learn responsibility at the same time. I did help my then 3 or 4 year old put clothes into piles and let him put in the drawer and bring basket back to me. He was always very proud of what he did! I try to remind myself that they are not going to do things perfect while they are learning. I do occasionally check to make sure they are in the correct drawer and everything is not a mess, or we have those "Come to Jesus" meetings...lol.
Oh, and Shane and I have one basket that we put up ourselves, hehe. We throw socks into a smaller drawer that whoever gets in trouble, or wants to earn $2 gets to sort!! This has saved my life! Hope it helps you too!!

So, I hope you did well on your dinners together this week. Leave a post and tell me how you did!! See you all tomorrow!
