What great ideas!

Keeping yourself organized is a priority for many people. This not only includes the parts of our homes that we can see, it includes the parts that are hidden from the view of the general public. Many people find that, over time, they tend to accumulate a lot of items that really only end up being stored. Where do these items tend to find themselves? In our closets, of course. That is probably why there is such a large market for closet organizer systems.

Rachel – I didn’t know being phlegmatic had anything to do with being organized. Interesting. I know you are more of a dryer – wash, dry and wear kind of gal. Tim favors that approach.

Bribing is very much a part of our parenting around although I prefer to call it “hiring.”

De’Etta – yes, I also remember you asking for pictures and me wondering how in the world I was going to get any pictures since the room isn’t quite wide enough for me to capture it all on film. Isn’t it so nice to have little ones handy with the camera and small enough to fit on top of washers and into mud room sinks. Ha!

Wow, Kath. You must be a phlegmatic personality after all, to be so organized. I am, I must confess, more of the “wear clothes right out of the dryer” kind of person and feel impressed to have finally put a sock basket on top of the dryer, so it doesn’t take so long to dig around for two matching ones. Although actually now, having a little laundry closet right next to all the bedrooms, I somehow actually do wash, fold, and put laundry away. But I haven’t bribed my kids to help on a consistent basis. Hmmm. More to think about.

Wish we had the room for that.
But I’ll remember the idea.
Great to have help like that!

Kathy – I remember you telling us about this when you did it – I really should see if I can find any spot in my laundry room for something similar. LOL

My 2 oldest sons , 10 and 9 have been doing their own laundry for about 2 months. Each has a day ~ You are nicer than me ~ No $$$, but the luxury of wearing clean clothes.

I love how you call it “outsourcing”! Great tip and it’s in use here with me!
