Laundry Has Some Nerve

by Jill April 16, 2015
written by Jill

I had so much fun teaming up with all free clear on this sponsored post, taking my aggression out on laundry. I’m pretty sure you’ll all relate to the importance of feeling #FreeToBe better than our laundry, taunting us and judging us and bullying us. We’re not going to take it, LAUNDRY.

Laundry has some nerve, right?

Laundry doesn’t understand that I have other things I want to do on our couch. Like sit there, maybe eat my lunch and watch Judge Judy. IT’S MY LIFE, LAUNDRY.

Laundry just won’t shut up already. Cool it. Chill. Stop yelling at me every time I walk into the closet. WAIT YOUR TURN. IMG_9722 Laundry is needy. If you ignore it too long it grows mold or gets wrinkly. It wrinkles! GET OVER YOURSELF, LAUNDRY. IMG_4644   Laundry doesn’t understand that LIFE HAPPENS.

Hello, idiot. I just HAD A BABY.

  Laundry HATES your kids.

It’s all or nothing with laundry. If you don’t wash it AND dry it AND fold it AND put it away, you might as well just not do it it at all. Because it will just sit there and JUDGE YOU.

  Laundry punishes you for taking vacations.

Your machines break, and Laundry be like,  No1Curr.

It has RULES. You have to sort it, and even then it will still make the ONE pink sock that you didn’t even see bleed all over your new white, monogrammed towels. Not like I really WANTED to look like an adult, LAUNDRY.

Personally, I refuse to give in and let the Laundry boss me and bully me. I let it sit, filthy, for WEEKS. I don’t care if it gets wrinkled. I won’t even give it the dignity of ironing it. I am #FreeToBe over it.

And I’m not about to freak out and fuss over what detergent I use. We’ve used all free clear liquid detergent since before Kendall, my first, was born. It’s the brand I bought to wash his first load of newborn laundry, to prep it before he came home.

Back when I actually cared about things like washing new clothes before the baby wore them.

It’s the #1 recommended detergent by Dermatologists, Pediatricians, and Allergists for sensitive skin.

People, if you are buying “special” detergent just for your baby, Laundry is playing you. It doesn’t need it. Just get you one brand that works for the whole family, drop it in every dirty load and walk away like, BOOM. No extra cares for Laundry.

You are #FreeToBe the boss of Laundry, and you can keep this ish real simple.

Please chime in to tell me how you are #FreeToBe giving Laundry the eye-roll. Tell me how you put it in it’s place.

You haven’t lived until you’ve shared a bed with Laundry at some point. It’s kind of a bed hog, of course, but nothing makes Laundry feel less in control then your complete disregard for it while you drool on it in your sleep.

Also, if you want to take this little, tiny survey, that would be cool.

How To Fold A Fitted Sheet… kinda

by Jill July 23, 2014
written by Jill

I know I’m really bad about coming up with big ideas and then not following through. Trust. I know. These things eat away at me. I still have monthly reminders that pop up on my iPhone, asking if I’ve completed and blogged my “12 in 12” yet. And no, I haven’t. Obviously.

But I really, really, really have the best of intentions. I’m a big thinker, and sometimes I think up lots of things and they all bubble out, and then eventually one of them grows big enough that I actually tend to it. Like this blog. And hopefully my YouTube channel.

I told myself I’d do one video a week, and I’m 2 for 2 so far. A little too proud of myself for that, I’ll admit. They say I need to be publishing these weekly videos at the same time on the same day every week in order to build a loyal audience. I don’t know if I have that in me. For now, I’m happy with weekly-ish new videos. I’ll aim for Thursdays. No promises.

It could be said my approach to all of this is very similar to my approach to housekeeping. I aim for clean-ish. No promises. If that’s your style, too. I think you’ll dig my video on how to fold a fitted sheet.
