How much time do you spend washing, folding and ironing laundry per week? Even with the help of my husband, my children and our cleaning lady, I still spend at least half a day a week working on it. If not more!
I was just sorting through the laundry, and while folding the the boys’ underwear I realised that there is a little trick that helps me so much with figuring out which piece of clothing belongs to what child: colour coding. It is so simple! I always buy the boys underwear from Dutch department store Hema; the grey ones for Casper and the white ones for Pim. Presto! Instantly recognisable. As opposed to my girls’ underwear, which is usually white and from Petit Bateau: I always have to check the label which size is Ava’s (6 ans) and which is Sara’s (12 ans). It drives me crazy. It drives my husband even more crazy! It drives everybody crazy!
Isn’t that just the easiest trick? Colour coding definitely makes laundry sorting so much easier. Tell me — do you have a trick like that? Please share — because the fewer hours we spend on laundry, the better!
