Suzie Says...

Just like my friend the Blah Blah Blahger , folding laundry has never been one of my strongest Homemaker skills...To help out just a little Suzie Says:
"Get all the same socks."
If you have all the same style there is no need for sorting.
It is awesome and a huge time saver!
This can also be a money saver: You are getting all your socks at the same time so they wear out at the same time. You can wait for a sale or buy in bulk.
Growing up, my socks always wore out around Christmas time.
To this day Hot Hubby and I know one of the Christmas gifties from my parents will be a whole new batch of fresh fluffy socks!
Here are the Cora's unmatched socks... 6 of them are white but different styles!
I've done this with my socks, Hot Hubby's socks and Eli's socks.
After the above folding session I did it with Cora's socks too!

  1. great idea! i hang to socks like they are SO expensive, but when they cause me trauma in the laundry folding dept, i might just have to ditch a few for sameness!

  2. I'm loving summer because the kids wear sandals mostly because I dont feel like dealing with socks :) however M&J has a special little cubby in their dresser with all unmatched socks..ridiculous and yet I have no desire to even open that drawer up and fix it :)

  3. Ahhhh, the socks. What a super easy idea!!! You don't even want to know what I do with mine...but let's just say there's no folding or matching involved. Ha!

  4. I actually threw away a whole bag of socks and did this--started fresh. It has saved me a lot of time

  5. Ugh, this reminds me that I have to go through everyone's socks and buy new ones. Fun, fun. I know what I am doing this weekend. Yay for me.
