Every job has tasks that you don’t like doing. When I was a project manager it was budgets, as a teacher it is grading homework, and as a mom it is laundry. It is a never-ending task that is just annoying. The minute you finish it you have to start again. As a result I wait until I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO do laundry to get it done.

Recently, David bought me two of these wire laundry hampers from “The Container Store” for our bathroom and I instantly fell in love. First of all, even my husband knows the difference between lights and darks and so now the laundry is pre-sorted. Thus, it removes one step in the hated laundry process. To be honest, if I had the space I would buy a third one for towels, but my closet just isn’t that big. Second, they have wheels. Do you see those on the bottom? Well, for a woman with chronic back problems this is a miracle from God. As soon as one gets full I simply wheel it into the laundry room, toss everything in, and wheel it back. It is such a pleasant experience now I’m surprised little animated blue birds aren’t singing on my shoulder while I’m doing this.

I still hate doing laundry but having the laundry pre-sorted and using these lovely baskets defnitely Works For Me
