When we first moved into our house 8 years ago, we had one laundry basket and I sorted our laundry into piles in our master bedroom. And since I am the disciplined, on top of it person that I am, there were times when those piles would take up precious space in our room for *ahem* days at a time. Add a baby to the mix and I had a real laundry mess on my hands!
While shopping at Fred Meyer one day, I bought this little laundry sorter in desperation. It didn't look like much. In fact, I have to admit that it looked a little cheesy to me. All it consisted of was white PVC pipe and 3 white mesh laundry bags.
I had no idea that this laundry sorter would save my life. (Well, that might be a slight exaggeration. At least it saved the laundry aspect of my life.)
Now, as we throw laundry in the dirty clothes, we sort it. One quick glance at the laundry sorter shows me if I have a full load of laundry or not. (And in my home with 2 little kids, I almost always have at least one full load of laundry.) No more throwing dirty laundry all over my bedroom floor to get a handle on the laundry situation. At least twice a week I grab the laundry basket from my girls' room and sort it directly into our sorter and I am ready to go.
I am thankful that the laundry is organized. I am thankful that it is easy to see if I have a full load of laundry. I am so thankful for this cheap little laundry sorter!
What are you thankful for today?
Come join me (and my friends at Adventures Of Raising A Baby In The City )! Every almost every Thursday, I will post something for which I am thankful, and I would love it if you participate as well. It is medicine for the soul to give thanks and, when practiced regularly, results in contentment. It can be anything: silly, personal, or blog related. Just take a moment to give thanks!
Don't let this get out, but I also have a (3) bin sorter, that I have modified (who would have guessed) to make it a (5) bin sorter. I don't think I could ever go back to the (3) bin.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm convinced. I am getting one!
ReplyDeleteOrangeMunkie, I have SERIOUSLY contemplated purchasing a sorter that has more than 3 sections. This one works well enough for me, though, so I just can't justify spending money on another.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, you will not regret it! Seriously one of the best organizing gadgets I have ever purchased.
i have 3 bins that i put together...i *need* that sorter desperately. goodness.
ReplyDeleteand i think you and kristyn need to hope in a car soon and come visit me so i can *finally* meet you :)
Kristyn and I were just talking about that yesterday and today as a matter of fact. It definitely needs to happen! I would love to meet you! (And I am kind of jealous that my friend got to meet you first...)
ReplyDeleteStorageManiac Laundry Hamper Sorter from Bizarkdeal
ReplyDeleteAwesome product! Awesome Value! StorageManiac has crafted an awesome laundry cart. I’ve got a busy household and a ton of laundry to do every week. This 3-bin cart allows me to sort the laundry as we go each day. The heavy duty removable bins I can just dump into the washer and go. Industrial framework and rolling casters allow me to move a large and heavy amount of laundry around with ease. I can roll it from room to room and even roll it out on to the patio to hang laundry on the line. I can sort the clean laundry into the separate bins for everyone to put away as laundry is finished. The bins are very easy to clean and maintain. Assembly is a breeze. I do recommend using a power driver to assemble to save some time as the bolts are very long. Over all this product is a great and has a very nice price tag. Budget friendly all the way!
