I Want To Know Your Weekly Laundry Schedule
Here at Household Management 101 I am always looking for new ideas about household management.
One of my focuses this past month has been on laundry, because keeping up with the laundry is such an important part of keeping our family life from spinning out of control.
The best thing I have found to keep up with Mt. Washmore is a weekly laundry schedule. I have posted my family's weekly laundry schedule on my site. But every household is different, and we learn best from example. Please look at the bottom of my weekly laundry schedule page for an invitation to contribute to the community and help others get ideas for their weekly laundry schedule by contributing what you have learned.

7 Tips For Taming Morning Chaos
Every morning do you feel like you are rushing around like crazy, only to forget something anyway, like your son's homework or your lunch for work?
This is a common problem, but fortunately it can be solved with some quick and easy steps. Even implementing one or two of these will dramatically improve your mornings.
- Put your purse and keys in the same place every evening when you come home. That way you can find them in the morning.
- Pack lunches the night before and place them in the refrigerator. Put a note on the door reminding you about them, if needed, to get them out in the morning.
- Lay both your and your children's clothes out the night before, so there is no decision making in the morning when you are still sleepy and no last minute realization that what you wanted to wear isn't clean.
- Check the family calendar to make sure you are prepared for anything special that is happening the next day, such as permission slips to be signed or doctor's appointments.
- Have each child's homework done and backpack packed up the night before, and placed by the door, ready to be grabbed the next morning.
- Get enough sleep. When you aren't so tired you function better and are less likely to forget things while in your morning fog.
- Get up 15 minutes earlier so you do not have to rush so much in the morning. (Although, if you implement the first six steps I have suggested you may find this one is unnecessary.)
