A Way to Cut Down on Laundry

Now I know most moms have lots of laundry. I do feel like we should put a bed in the laundry room sometimes and having little girls with their clothes isn't just about throwing them all in together with some detergent but sitting there making sure you have the right stain remover and getting EVERY SINGLE stain. And why is it that girls clothes seem to be all light colors and boys all dark that don't show stains. Anyways, I will say I would welcome some little boys clothes in this house if this baby is a boy just so the laundry would be simpler (not saying less, just maybe simpler).

But back to my point, I think I inherited my mom's innate gift at laundry. We all have a gift in life and I think the women in my family have the gift of laundry. Well I don't mind it but knowing that it will triple in kids clothes in a month or so I was looking at the amount and piles I do daily and knew I had to do something. And when you are a 6 year old princess it seems like changing clothes (and I don't just mean into dress up clothes) but changing outfits comes with the territory. So my answer, simple:

Clothes Coupon

This coupon is good for ONE
change of clothes each week.

You will receive a new coupon
at the beginning of each week.
Once the coupon is used there
will be no more changes of clothes.

Happy Changing!

So now when she comes home each day after school and asks to change, I get to ask her if she has her coupon? :)
