Freedom

Do you remember my post about laundry? It was about a woman who did away with the "normal" way of doing laundry. Well, now that we are into summer and I don't have to worry about clean uniforms...I tried it.

I love it!! Real quick I'll run down how I USED to do laundry, and then tell you how I do laundry now. Every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday I/we would gather all the hampers, lug them downstairs where I would spend 10-15min. sorting everything into piles (darks, lights, towels, & whites). I would wash, dry, fold and put into piles ALL day long! (Literally, I would start at 8:00 and be working on it till 4:00/5:00.) UGH!!

Now, I do one hamper a day. Throw it all into the machine together. That's right, I don't sort my clothes! My mother would think I'd lost my mind, who knows, maybe I have, but I'm not stressed and consumed with laundry anymore! WooHoo! I don't have to start it as soon as I get up, I start it whenever I want! Why didn't I do this years ago?!

You haven't noticed the whites turning kinda off white? Maybe I should try this b/c I am always doing laundry! It is never done!

Nope! I did have that problem with my whites when we lived in Tremont (but it was the water).
