home management: laundry

​Let's be honest.

The laundry struggle is REAL.

And to just be frank...I am so over it.

Mount Washmore has spent one too many days in my house.

I know there are several contributing factors.

​First of all, we have TOO many clothes.  We have more than we need and more than we will ever wear.  

Secondly, we have dirty clothes strewn throughout the house.  It's like the children get dressed in every corner of the house.  And of course, Mr. Farmhouse sometimes drops his dirty clothes DIRECTLY beside the hamper.

And finally...we haven't built a laundry habit that includes at least one load a day.

Until now.

As part of the 12-week challenge, I chose my January daily habit to be one load of laundry a day...from start to finish. 

Through the washer, through the dryer, folded, AND put away.

Last fall, I started to make my bed every single morning.  Even if I got nothing else accomplished during the time I had before leaving for work, I still made my bed. 

And now...I don't even have to think about it.

Since starting the "one load a day" laundry habit, although I can't say I'm to the point where I'm doing laundry automatically, I can definitely notice a huge difference. 

In fact, I only have one load that could even be done right now because we're all caught up on the rest of our clothes.

This next week, as part of the 12-week challenge, we're going to be focusing on going through our clothing and discarding or donating those things that don't spark joy.

I would encourage you to join us as we continue our journey to move closer to our goals over the last ten weeks of the 12-week challenge!

Tackling laundry at the farmhouse...one day at a time,
