Large Family Laundry Solutions: “Before”
February 15, 2010 | 2 Comments
I knew something had to change. I’ve been spending far too much time doing laundry for my large family (there are 7 of us, with one on the way).
Interestingly, in my days as a single mom of 4, I kept on top of laundry doing one load a day. As long as I did that, laundry never got overwhelming. During some of that time, I didn’t own a dryer and hung all the laundry outside or inside on a drying rack.
When I found myself in a house without a washing machine, I did the coin laundry thing for awhile. (Surprisingly, I didn’t mind this at all. Every week, armed with about $8 in quarters and two hours, I got ALL the laundry washed, dryed and folded in one fell swoop.)
Back to my laundry management system before August 24, 2009.
Part of the reason for my success with “one load a day” despite having 4 kids was because I had instilled good laundry habits in my young’uns. I trained them to wear their jeans two or three times, until they actually looked or smelled dirty. I strongly discouraged changing outfits multiple times a day and made sure items were actually dirty before I washed them.
They also had modest wardrobes. Everyone looked good, but their dressers and closets weren’t stuffed to the gills by any means. I found that I could even get away with not sorting (since I almost never use bleach and most of their clothing was purchased used, so nothing was going to bleed). I washed boy’s laundry on one day, girls on the other. That cut down on the footwork too (since the kids were roomies).
Enter new hubs and a 10 year old step daughter, aka Big Z and Little Z (Zeke and Zoe).
Of course, I love them dearly and wouldn’t trade them for all the Soap Nuts in the world…
but suddenly I found myself doing FOUR loads a day just to keep up, much less put a dent in the piles!
I spoke to Big Z about this phenomenon (also throwing in how much I previously earned per hour as an internet marketing coach to moms and a freelance writer, teehee) and we came up with some solutions. (Well actually I came up with solutions but Big Z wielded the power tools and did the heavy lifting. Gotta love that!)
Before I unveil my new “Large Family Laundry Solution”, I’ll talk a bit about why my laundry duties quadrupled overnight and what my laundry routine of recent months has looked like.
I’ll call this the BEFORE.
(I do wish I had actually taken a picture of the monstrosity that was the “BEFORE” with its mountain of laundry all over the basement floor but alas, I didn’t. I promise nice shiny pics of the “AFTER” shortly, when I do the B portion of this post.)
Bad Laundry Habits
Let me now refer to some of the habits that create needless laundry work. The first of which is :
Bogus Laundry
Bogus laundry is clothing that isn’t actually dirty, but which is mindlessly tossed into the hamper, where the Laundry Fairy/Angel (aka Mom) magically takes care of it. A few examples:
- Bogus laundry include jeans that are worn for a couple of hours that still look and smell clean.
- Socks that were never worn but which fell on the floor because the owner didn’t put them away in a timely manner.
- My personal favorite, towels that are used to blot a CLEAN body dry after a shower, which are then tossed still damp into the hamper. Ugh! (Please tell me I’m not the only person in America who thinks it’s perfectly sanitary to use a bath towel several times?)
- Doll clothes. Double ugh.
- Suits and dresses that are worn for two hours while a child sits still in a place of worship. They ain’t dirty either.
See what I mean? All this bogus laundry was adding up to huge work (and a wee touch of resentment) for mama.
Another bad laundry habit?
Too Much Clothing
Let’s be honest. Most of us wear about 20% of our clothing 80% of the time. Why not get rid of the clutter? All it does it spill out of jammed dresser drawers and make things fall off hangers in closets (creating more bogus laundry!).
When I moved into Big Z’s house, I tactfully suggested that he toss some of the threadbare T-shirts he had been collecting since the late 80’s. Since we were moving and having to pack up this stuff anyway, he obliged. We ended up with FOUR large black trash bags full. Ahem.
My stepdaughter’s closet had enough short sleeved t-shirts in it to outfit a small orphanage. She admitted that she didn’t like or wear most of them, so it was toss! toss! pack into storage for her new younger stepsister! She was thrilled to create tons of new space in her closet.
Another factor is my husband changing clothing several times a day. First he takes off his t shirt and PJ bottoms and tosses them into the hamper (wrong, PJs can be worn several times!), then puts on work clothes which of course get nasty with furniture repair goo, then changes into exercise clothing that get sweaty and smelly, then back into PJs… not sure what to do about all these wardrobe changes!
My laundry “routine” also brought me frustration.
My washer and dryer are located downstairs in the basement. Good because of the space to move around. Bad because I was hauling laundry baskets up the stairs. Then I folded it in little stacks around the living room. Then I asked various children to put their stack away.
The end result was that I had multiple little laundry piles for each load creating visual clutter in my living room while I waited for kids to obey or reminded them over and over.
No good.
The new system is much better. It saves me time, labor and creates no clutter.
More on that later!
How to Train Your Kids to Keep a Clean Room
December 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Note from Carrie:
I appreciate this guest post from Marie Ynami. Especially the point about telling a child exactly what a “clean room” means to you. When I created a simple checklist on an index card for my 8 year old, it made things much easier for him. I think most kids want their room to be tidy, but they become overwhelmed in the process. That’s easy enough to understand – we adults do the same thing!
If you are a parent, I’m sure you’ve heard your kids whine and complain when you ask them to clean up their room. The constant question is ” … but WHY, Mom? It looks fine!” Here are some answers that you can give them, the next time they ask why they have to clean up their room.
* It teaches them to be responsible. Knowing that they need to keep their room clean and tidy will instill some kind of responsibility in them. It will also help them appreciate and take care of the things they already own.
* It helps them to be prepared for the future. Admit it, they won’t live with you forever. Sometime in the future, they will have to move out and live on their own – they need to know how to do that and you are merely training them for this.
* Being a part of a family means that everyone needs to help out around the house – not only by keeping it clean and tidy but also with the other responsibilities like preparing meals, taking care of pets and other chores. Mainly though, they are responsible for keeping their personal space clean.
* When kids have a clean room with everything in a place of its own, they refrain from stepping on toys and breaking them. Not only will this keep their toys in good condition so they can be passed along in the future but it also avoids any situation where kids can hurt themselves.
* When you keep a room clean and organized, it is easier to find things that you need. If the room is messy and cluttered, they will have a hard time finding the toys they love to play with or homework and projects that need to be turned into school.
No one is born knowing how to clean; someone has to teach them. That’s one of the responsibilities of being a parent. We are the ones that will teach them well or not so well. What we teach them will carry through their entire lives.
An easy way to teach them is by having them help you when you clean. Start early to train your children to help with cleaning. This way, you will be less likely to have a problem when they get older. Of course, some children are messier than others, just be patient – just because they are messy doesn’t mean that they have to live in a pigsty.
Be certain that your children understand your definition of “clean”. For some, clean is a perfect room with nothing out of place. Some people see clean as not having to walk all over things on the floor. You decide how clean you want their room to be and ensure they understand what that is.
Sometimes, it is helpful to write a list of what you would like your child to do while they clean their room, for example:
- Put the clothes in the clothes hamper, hang them up, or put them in the dresser.
- Pick up the toys.
- Place books on the bookshelves.
Help your child figure out which of their items they can get rid of.
Ultimately, this is why its so important for children to clean their own rooms. They are learning how to prepare for the future, taking care of the things they have, and they are helping to maintain the home.

Ten Inexpensive Things to Help you Get Organized
December 4, 2009 | 3 Comments
photo credit: evelynishere
You don’t have to spend lots of money just so that you can get organized. There are many inexpensive items you can use to help you organize your life. Save your hard earned money for something else more worth while. Here is a list of 10 inexpensive items you need to make life organized:
1. Calendars – These are the number one item for keeping family and yourself organized. Mark down appointments and special dates. These can easily be found in disocunt stores often for as little as $1.00. If you want a particular calendar, like a Franklin Covey calendar, wait a week or so after the new year and you could get it at a discounted price. If you have a computer and printer, you can even print your own blank calendars from the internet.
2. Timers – My timer is my best friend. It helps me not to waste time when I am doing things around the house. Set your timer for fifteen minutes and spend that time de-cluttering, cleaning, or organizing. You’ll be amazed at how much you can get done in a small amount of time if you work hard during that time. It keeps you focused cause you know you only have a set time to complete your task.
3. File folders/Labels – You don’t have to have a large filing system for it to work for you; plan on having just enough files to store and be able to locate important papers for finances, insurances, health, utilities, credit cards, warranties, or anything else you can think of.
4. Index cards – I love using index cards because you can use them for a variety of things like: shopping lists, goals, recipes, menu planning, frequently used telephone numbers. Also, they are small and easy to stick in your purse or put on your desk so you can always find and use them. I sometimes assign a color or index card to a specific purpose like: green for shopping lists, pink for recipes and white for to-do lists.
5. Cork Board - This is a great way to keep all your important notes in one place. You can use them for keeping up with to-do lists, shopping lists, and any number of other important notes and reminders. They help corral papers, and keep notes where you can find them instead of being tucked away in a drawer some place in your house.
6. 3-Ring Binders – The 3-ring binder comes in different widths to be able to hold different amounts of paper. This is a good alternative to a filing cabinet in your home. You could have 3-ring binders for each category and store everything on a shelf instead. You can purchase these at a discount especially during Back-to-School sales.
7. Totes and Bins – These come in all shapes and sizes and materials materials: like wood, plastic, fabric, metal, or glass. You can find some with lids and some that don’t have any lids. Prices may vary but are these are great for storing and organizing. Try looking for them in discount stores or garage sales.
8. Cereal boxes – An almost free item that you can easily transform into paper storage. Cut off one corner of the box, cover with contact or wrapping paper, and use them for storing magazines. You can keep your kids busy by having them decorate the cereal box. You can also use this to store your kid’s papers that they bring home from school. Each week or when the box gets full, you and your child can go through it and toss the papers that you no longer need. This teaches you kids how to be organized too.
9. Baskets - These are wonderful holders for so many different things. Organize crafts that youre working on, wash cloths or towels in a bathroom, fruit, or any other number of things can be kept in baskets to help keep things neat and tidy.
10. Boxes - If you are storing items in an area that won’t get wet, you may be able to save money organizing by using boxes that you can get in your local grocery store. You really do not have to spend money on boxes when you can get them for free. Just make sure to label the outside so you know what is inside the box without having to open it up.
Why spend a great deal of money to get organized? There is no need for that. These ten inexpensive items will help you get organized and won’t break your budget. Come to think of it, there maybe are other items around your home that you can repurpose for organizing. Take a look-see and you may be surprised at what you find.

Recyling and Pest Control
August 20, 2009 | 3 Comments
Ugh.
The all natural creepy crawly critters are loving my efforts to have a more eco-friendly home.
The cans, bottles (even when well rinsed), cardboard boxes and plastic containers provide everything they need: tiny bits of food provide endless nourishment (especially for roaches who only have to eat once every few weeks!), moisture for their hydration, and dark nooks and crannies are perfect hiding places.
When my kitchen started being taken over by bugs again, I had to throw out all the recycling… with the trash.
Overnight the bug population dwindled.
Major eco-guilt. 
How do you keep your recycling area from being the ideal home for unwanted guests?
Do share.
Helping Kids Learn to Tidy Up
August 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment
The following is a guest article from Danielle at TidyKidz, a site with resources to help parents teach kids to clean up without nagging! The tools are also helpful in establishing good routines for kids and personal hygiene. (I don’t know about you, but my 11 year old son is stinky and somewhat resistant to the idea that daily bathing is important at his age!)
I’ve been digging around the site for a few days and have printed out some of the helpful charts and intend on showing the videos to my kids.
Now that the school year has begun, it’s even more important to establish quick, easy and fun routines for everyone in the household so that things can be organized and the day flow more smoothly. This article encourages us as parents to set the example (a familiar refrain!) by keeping OUR rooms clean. Enjoy the article and be sure to check out TidyKidz if you need some help!
Tidy Me, Tidy You, Tidy See, Tidy Do
OK, let’s get down to brass tacks here everyone. Some things just never change and this particular issue is no different. You CANNOT expect your little people to keep there rooms picked up if your room looks like a set for the show Clean House (prior to the clean part). You may get lucky a time or two but ultimately our kids do what we do, not what we say. Go ahead, argue with yourself… we’ll wait :-O :-# :-! ;-] :-{)
Great! So glad you are back and hopefully you have reached your senses and understand that “monkey see, monkey do” is more than just a quaint phrase. We have all watched our kids emulate grown-up behavior and it’s no accident that children of all ages, socio-economic backgrounds, ethnicities, religions and on – all do it! It’s UNIVERSAL!
They will emulate the good AND the bad no matter how much we try to tell them what to do and how to do it – they are WATCHING!

Let’s have a little therapy session, shall we? (Purple is a nice soothing color, right?)
So ask yourself this question, “Am I doing the things I am asking of my kids?”
I know, that was not nice was it?!
Depending on your answer, you are feeling somewhere between the June Cleaver type and the Tazmanian Devil. If you are June Cleaver you may be thinking all is well with the world.
I’m not really concerned about offending any Junes out there because Junes are doing all the work themselves and probably aren’t reading this blog anyway. As for the Taz’s, you know who you are (admit it) and chances are you already feel bad enough about the state of your stuff, so let me approach this from somewhere around the “Malcolm in the Middle” area.
You GOTTA do it! Here are a few tips to get you started.
* Start with making your bed, it’s big and just that alone makes a noticeable difference.
* Then pick up everything off of the floor and pile it on your bed. Set your timer for 7 minutes and don’t stop moving until it’s all put away, PROPERLY! Yes you do only have 7 minutes so MOVE IT. Don’t turn of the timer until you’re done.
* Next comes the dresser – what in the world is all that stuff doing up there? Get a trash bag – half of it can be thrown away anyway. If you are a pocket paper collector, get a colorful jar and use it to store your 80 million tiny pieces of paper that pile up on the dresser once you’ve purged your pockets – go through it once a month and purge old receipts, notes to self, etc.
* One way to keep the bedroom from going bonkers is to Not Not Not bring anything in that is not bedroomy. There is no reason for your gardening shoes to be in your closet or for the weeks mail to be on top of the 80 million little pieces of paper on your dresser. If it doesn’t come in… it won’t have to be taken out. Make it a rule, then follow it!
Make a chart, or get in touch with your inner child and use one of ours (major points with the kids). Use it to make sure you pay at least 5 minutes of attention to your room everyday. I can say from experience, 5 minutes a day is all you really need to keep your room from becoming the very thing your sweet little person uses against you when you ask them to clean theirs!
Eco-Friendly Entertaining
August 8, 2009 | 2 Comments
Eco-Friendly Entertaining
Find out how you can be the talk of the town by throwing a chic eco-friendly party
Get off on the right foot – First thing’s first: the invites. Make sure you use invites made from recycled paper.
Contrary to ecologically-challenged perceptions, recycled paper can look and feel just like high grade paper, but minus the guilty conscience.
If ordering them from a professional, ask whether they use recycled paper.
Faux Flowers – Gone are the days of deplorable fake flowers you could spot a mile away – usually collecting dust in some over-crowded knick-knack filled nook and cranny in your grandmother’s house.
These days, if you know where to look, fake flowers can pass for the real thing.
Aside from standard silk flowers (which are still using silk worms), there’s the option of clay flowers.
Deco Clay flowers are absolutely gorgeous and look just like the real thing – except that they cost a fraction of the price, are environmentally safe, and last forever.
The even better upside is they’re reusable so you’ll save money in the long run, plus you’re not contributing to flower butchery nor the very unsustainable flower industry, which has to shower flowers with pesticides – a factor that’s damaging to both you and the environment.
However, if faux is not your thing, then get flowers from the local farmers market. You can even get great arrangements and settings out of potted plants and flowers. A personal favorite is the clever use of moss as decorative center pieces. Moss is not only cheap, sustainable, and uber chic, but it can also be planted afterwards with next to no effort.
Lighting and Décor – One big aspect of party planning is how the party will look. You want your guests to be dazzled, “oohs and ahhs” should be pouring out, compliments gushing.
When done right, the atmosphere that lighting and decorations can create will provoke that response. But rather than choosing blazing electric lights to illuminate the event, try choose more environmentally friendly lighting. Candles are the perfect choice, as they are both lovely and economical – not to mention they don’t require any energy to run.
As for the décor, you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars when home made paper goods will be far cheaper and far more interesting. Consider making paper mobiles, such as the popular origami crane mobiles. You can hang them lined up on a string, as a collective, or individually from just about anywhere. You can even use left over ones as decoration pieces on the dinner table – plus making them out of scrap paper makes good use out of something that was just going in the bin anyway.
Eco-Friendly Wine – Because it’s not just about what you’re using, but what you’re consuming, try switching out your wine for one that is more Earth friendly. There are three categories of eco-friendly wines: sustainable, organic, and biodynamic.
“Sustainable” means that grapes were grown with few to no chemical, fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. This method nurtures the soil naturally, whereas “organic” wines are grown in organically certified vineyards and are made without added sulfites.
On the other hand, “biodynamic” winemaking goes way beyond organics. With biodynamics, the farm is viewed as a living system. The soil is treated with complex compost preparations (of course without chemicals or pesticides), including quartz, yarrow flowers, stinging nettle, and more.
Biodynamic winemakers claim to have noted stronger, clearer, more vibrant tastes in their wines, as taste test conducted by Fortune confirmed. Now all you have to do switch out bulky refrigerators for portable wine coolers, an energy efficient way to chill your wine.
Sustainable Serving – If you consider the glasses, dishes, knives, forks, bowls, and all the other little items used to create a smash hit setting, you quickly start to realize how much goes into entertaining.
In order to host not only your guests, but a more eco-friendly lifestyle, consider purchasing tableware made out of recycled materials. You don’t even have to trade in your luxe taste. In a green-conscious corporate world, companies across the board are all offering unique yet refined dining options, including dishes made out of recycled glass.
Target, for example, has recycled glass goblets great for a Sunday brunch; whereas Macy’s cobalt blue stemless wineglasses offer an element of sophistication. These stunning little gems, made with 30% recycled glass, are a striking visual for an evening dinner.
However, if you’re opting for something even more sustainable, try compostable cornware tableware, biodegradable sugarcane plates, or even biodegradable bambooware. These serving alternatives are not only green but far cheaper than buying 50 sets of “real” dishes to accommodate larger gatherings. On the other hand, if you insist on using “real dishes”, then I suggest using what you have rather than buying more. If done right, mixing and matching dishes (and even seating) can offer an eccentric look that’s sure to catch your guests’ eyes.
Set the Stage - The real drama at any party is at the dinner table. The visual centerpiece of the evening should reflect the mood you want to create. Whatever your choice, make sure that you set your table using eco-friendly items. In addition to naturally available plants and flowers, as well as sustainable dishes, you can get organic table cloths, runners, and napkins; you can even make sure the lamp shades and curtains are eco-wary items. Setting the stage doesn’t have to be limited to just the table – your whole environment can reflect your eco-chic taste.
Ice Goes Eco – There’s no point in wasting time, gas, paper and plastic by going to the store to purchase ice for your party. Rather, a sleek compact portable ice maker will quickly plunk down cube upon cube to keep drinks nice and cool. Plus, nothing kills a party like someone announcing “We’re out of ice.”
Leave Them Wide-Eyed and Wondered – One of the most important elements of any party, large or small, is how your guests feel when they leave. Out of the many ways to send your guests off, the most beautiful and memorable has to be a sky lantern send off.
Lanterns (lights) are very popular in South Asian and Asian cultures, where lights represent both spirituality and hope. It’s a spirited feeling to stand there gathered with friends, lighting and releasing lanterns that ascend as golden orbs set against a dark night’s sky.
Made out of recycled paper and bamboo, sky lanterns are also eco-friendly. For added measure, have your guests write messages on each lantern before sending them off.
Hostess Gifts – And any chic eco-hostess knows to lead by example even when attending other parties.
When attending another bash, swap out your normal hostess gift for one that is earth-friendly. The same goes for others who obey the rule of “do not go empty handed” – simply swap out the routine bouquet of flowers or dessert with something eco-chic that shows of your cleverness and commitment to the environment.
There are a ton of options for sustainable gifts. There’s even a growing trend of green toys if it’s a child’s birthday you happen to be attending. But more importantly, there’s no reason to give green gifts just as a hostess gift; swap out Christmas and birthday presents for the same.
But above all, here’s the simplest rule for eco-entertaining: “Use what you have, and borrow what you don’t”, and remember that at the end of the day, a great party is about who you’re with and not what you have.

Let Me Tell You About Sally
June 19, 2009 | 3 Comments
4 days ago, a new person came into our lives.
We walked outside to do who knows what, and she came running from across the street.
She was beautiful.
Gleaming blonde coat, perfect clean ears, even her paws looked pristine.
But no collar and no (we were to find out later) microchip.
Someone likely abandoned her.
So far we have been unable to find her owner.
We registered at Pets911.org.
We placed a call to the local shelter.
We sent word out with a local pet store owner who notifies her email subscribers of found dogs in our area.
Nothing.
It took Julien about 10 minutes to name her.
Sally.
I had no dog food to offer, but I did have beef stew.
She ate 5 bowls of it.
Sally likes my beef stew, apparently.
Can’t say as I blame her – it was made with homemade broth from turkey and chicken bones and full of brothy goodness!
We discovered quickly that she enjoys car rides and doesn’t get car sick.
Everything hasn’t been perfect, however.
As is typical of a puppy, she has tried her teething teeth out on me. Since she hasn’t been socialized properly (which would take place at her mother’s breast or with her littermates), she doesn’t yet know what kinds of behavior are unacceptable.
Curiously, she never nips at the children.
Just Momma – but I know what to do with a biting baby. 
After a few days of lots of love and affection and some negative feedback when she nips me (First offense, I “yelp” an ouch sharply or spritz her in the face with water. Second offense, playtime is over!)
She has cut open my hands and arms several times.
A trip to PetSmart for some nice acceptable chewy things (and a pink collar) helped tremendously.
Although she is making her way into my heart, I fear that I can’t keep her permanently.
I’m not sure I have the resources (financial, time, energy) to care for a fifth baby.
I will not take her to a place where she may be “put down” (nice soft euphemism for killed!).
Did you know Craigslist doesn’t accept pet listings?
I do. Now.
I do want a dog, eventually.
When the timing is better.
Sadie is now terrified to go into the backyard and the kids are avoiding it too.
While they seem to love the puppy, the younger kids are intimidated.
They want to play with her, but Sally’s exuberance frightens them.
I know they would eventually get accustomed to a dog, but I would rather start out with a very young puppy that wouldn’t frighten my youngest.
I’m not sure what I would do when we go out of town – which we’re doing twice in the next few weeks.
There is the monthly vet visits, the neutering, the food.
She’s a Lab so she’ll get very large. My friend spends $70 a month on food to feed her Lab.
We will miss her.
If you know anyone in the Atlanta area who would like a sweet, devoted Labrador mix puppy (female) who almost never barks (but who defended her turf instantly when Grandpa came around!), please email me.

Unpacking

Moving.
It seems to have taken over an entire month of my life. There was the packing, the moving, the unpacking.
It exhausted me.
I’m still not done unpacking.
The thing about unpacking that takes so long?
You don’t really know where you want to put stuff until you’ve lived in a place for a bit.
You want to put things in places that make sense.
Know what I mean?
How To Get Rid of Cod Liver Oil Smell In Your Washer
April 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Cod liver oil is wonderful.
But it’s not so great for your washing machine and dryer. And clothing.
My 3 year old daughter loves to sneak into the refrigerator, open the bottle of CLO, and take a swig. Only. She’s not so great at putting the lid back on properly. It’s kinda slick, you know. 
photo credit: procsilas
So then it spills… often in the refrigerator or on her clothing. If it spills in the fridge, it doesn’t smell, but I use towels to clean it up, which then have to be laundered, which then stink up ALL the clothing, and the innards of the washer.
The last time this happened, I still smelled the stuff after several rewashings. Yuck!
The guys at Smelly Washer must have read my post and taken pity on me because they sent me some of their product to try out. I followed the instructions and cleaned the inside of the washer using the stuff. Then I laundered the load of CLO infected towels.
Guess what?
No more fishy.
According to their website, Smelly Washer is non-toxic and “made from 100% all natural citrus based ingredients”. They’re also nice enough to extend a discount to my readers.
The stuff works, so try it out if you’re plagued with stinky washing machine issues.
