So I tried to comment on ...I think you are awesome. So I tried to comment on your laundry post. But Wordpress told me I couldn't.<br /><br />Here it is (proof):<br /><br />I have two tips to share! I think both are examples of how gross we are at my house. But they minimize the laundry, so who cares.<br /><br />First, don't wash your towels every single time you use them! I noticed I was washing tons of towels in my laundry because my kids would throw their towel in the laundry basket after using it once. Or they would leave it on the floor and I didn't want to make one kid reuse a towel some other kid had used to dry their body. Because my cleanliness standards are so high.<br /><br />So I assigned each kid a color and gave them a towel in that color. That way, if it isn't hung up, I know exactly who is responsible and I can require that it is reused. I looked it up and it is okay with the "experts" to reuse a towel 2-3 times. This means that we reuse them at least 7 times before a washing.<br /><br />Second. My kids have church clothes, clothing they only wear to church. They only get to put them on right before church (after they have eaten breakfast) and they have to take the clothes off immediately when we walk in the door after church. Except for the 7 year old, who usually colors on his pants or smears the Sunday school treat on his shirt, I get to skip one washing! Yay me.<br /><br />I am having anxiety about raising my teen and I am reviewing your book recommendations. Thanks for that.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657910829095414594noreply@blogger.com
