Tackling the Laundry - Again!

Ever since I rearranged my bedroom and created a space for our laundry hamper and rearranged the kitchen and created a space for the other laundry hamper, I have been really keeping up with all the dirty laundry!

The problem is that I haven’t been folding it. The good news is that it isn’t in my bedroom. :) The bad news is that it was in my living room. :(

But no more! See? There’s not a lick of laundry anywhere in my living room!

Last week I folded (with the help of my loving mother!) a TON of laundry, kept out certain items that were too small or off-season, and even game some items to the thrift store. Now our clean laundry is properly purged and put away! And now there are NO piles of laundry in my house — clean OR dirty!

Other items on my to-do list that I’ve accomplished in the last two weeks:

  • list my mom’s dining set on craig’s list - done and sold!
  • clean off my back porch from leftover yard sale items - almost done!
  • DEEP CLEAN the hall bath.

Things to work on for this week:

  • Clean up both kids rooms and purge toys for the church and thrift store.
  • Finish taking the rest of the stuff on the back porch to the thrift store.
  • Finish cleaning up the office/guest room.

It feels good to purge and de-clutter. But better than that, I know my husband appreciates having it picked up and de-cluttered, too. Accomplishing that for him feels even better. :)

With 5 kids in the house, laundry is a huge chore here too! Glad you were able to get it all done and feel good about it. :)

Good luck with the rest of your TT!

Yeah we have 5 babes as well and it feels like I’m ALWAYS doing laundry! Great tackle! :)

WOW! That living room is amazing now! What a haven to go to for relaxation! Great job!

Oh, that must feel so good! Great job! And how sweet of your mom to help you! Good luck with your new list!

I feel you on this one! Laundry is always the chore I dread most but that is a good idea you had to have a spot in your bedroom for it…maybe that would help me keep more on top of it too!

Great job!!

Great job! That was quite a task! I am sure it feels great to have that off your mind, and out of your sight!!

What a great job and your living room looks awesome!

My tackle is laundry, too. Seven loads to wash, dry, and put away!! I’m also working on setting up a new cleaning schedule. I’d love your input if you have time.

It looks great! What a wonderful feeling to have been so productive!

You’ve been doing a fabulous job! I’m hosting a Tackle contest on my blog. Stop on by!
