laundry sorting
Once upon a time, when I had only three little boys, a very good friend, who just happened to have three little girls asked me FOR A QUICK TIP TO SORTING KID'S UNDERWEAR. You see, since the kids were close in age and size, sorting laundry was a huge job. Here is the list of ideas I've used over the years:
1) buying different companies of underwear. (Usually the brand is clearly visible on the waistband. )
2) having different color schemes.
3)buying boxers for some and briefs for the others (talking of boys obviously).
Additional benefit of these methods, is that kids could find their underwear themselves - surely you could use the help.
Another huge time gobbler is the sock matching chore.
I used to have "white sock only" policy when the kids were really young. That lasted a while, that is till they started walking and keeping the whites white became more of a trouble. A great idea I've heard from a mother of 22! was to put a dot of puffy paint on each new pair of socks. Assign each kid his own color and wow - kids even could play a matching game while sorting the laundry.
