Laundry

Today's prompt is to post a fave recipe, product, or book. Since my blog is about our family, I'm going to tell you about laundry. Such lucky readers I have. :)

With 8 people in our house, I can't even begin to tell you the amount of laundry we have. Having never, ever been good about staying caught up with laundry, I'm not even sure how we have made it this far except that I truly have an amazing husband.

The two older girls have been doing their own laundry for a while now. Almost always using too much detergent. I couldn't imagine how the boys and Genna would flood the washer with suds!

Then came the most amazing invention. The most perfect, absolute washer/mess saving product. The gel pack. This things truly might be the best idea since sliced bread. I think people use that quote too often but in this case it is so true!

They are called Mighty Packs and oh my gosh...they are amazing!  Nobody uses too much. Nobody uses too little. They have saved us. The boys and Genna now do laundry because I don't have to worry about a mess. It's fantastic!  Every Sunday they know they will be doing laundry. When they've washed and dried their clothes, they dump them on the table in the game room and they are all responsible for getting their own clothes out of the pile, fold them, and put them away. I'm in love.

We still have an insanely messy laundry room that would make Anitra roll over in her grave, if she had one, but honestly...this product has added years to my life. At the very least, less stressful years for however many I am blessed with.
