Am I a morning person? Depends on the day. My mornings vary depending on the day of the week but there is one staple to my mornings. We often miss the school bus and some days I don’t feel like rigging my bootleg coffee machine, and two days a week my neighbor takes my daughter to school but there is one morning activity that I do at least 98% of the time.
LAUNDRY
I throw in two loads every morning and fold the loads from the night before in the morning while I watch the news.

Tip: For more interesting photos try shooting from above, below or at eye level. I was laying on my stomach and my camera was on the floor to achieve this shot.
Thank you so much for linking up last week. The response was overwhelming and we thank you for sharing with your communities and we know we will only learn more and build a better community as the weeks pass! Be sure to scoot on over to Everyday Eyecandy and get a glimpse at what Lashawn’s morning looks like!
Can’t wait to see your guilty pleasures next week. Try to implement a few of the tips Lashawn and I have shared to test your creativity. Link up below and we’ll see you next week!

January 15, 2015 at 10:02 amThat’s not a bad idea to throw your laundry in first thing in the morning. I’m sure it’s something I won’t get around to most days – I like the snooze button, but still a great idea. At my house I let it pile up until we’re running low on clothes. It means we wear more of what we own, but mostly it’s because I’m lazy. 😉

January 22, 2015 at 10:42 pmWith these kids we would be under a mound in a week. I had to get a schedule to save my sanity!!

January 15, 2015 at 10:09 amThis is a great idea, I will give it a try on the days I work from home. Laundry is a must, but I swear I hate it. lol

January 22, 2015 at 10:42 pmI do to. It is truly a necessary evil.

January 15, 2015 at 11:10 amThis year one of my goals was to be better about staying on top of laundry. I just hate folding. And I couldn’t help but notice that you tossed that Ariel costume in the washer. Girl, I have been hand washing and spot cleaning those things. Now that I know it won’t fall apart they’ll be going in the washer from now on!

January 22, 2015 at 10:43 pmSee I’m good with the folding as long as the clothes are warm. Now if they aren’t warm and still smell of fabric softener the love is gone.

January 15, 2015 at 11:11 amI’m not even about to tell you how much undone laundry I’ve been staring at. I figure Saturday may be a good time to tackle it. #teamtrifling I wish I had more mornings during the week to myself 🙁
Mimi
January 22, 2015 at 10:43 pmIt’s just you. I don’t ever remember doing this much laundry before I had kids.

January 15, 2015 at 2:07 pmone of my goals this year is to actually FOLD the laundry. So far, that’s a fail……

January 15, 2015 at 2:55 pmLove this shot Mimi. I’m all flustered trying to get good shots and you make it look effortless. Definitely taking you tip. Now as for laundry… “Hated It!” I can’t stand it. The Hubs tried to help but he made it worse. His only job is to haul it from the top floor to the basement. I need to throw in loads in the morning. That would help. I have a backlog of folding to do right now. Sigh… New house with laundry room on same floor as bedroom is high on my list of needs. Not wants, NEEDS!
Mimi
January 22, 2015 at 10:44 pmThat wont’ help. Unless we have something like the Jetsons I don’t think there is much that can make laundry enjoyable.

January 15, 2015 at 3:40 pmI seriously hate laundry!
We have a system at home, where my husband washes and I fold. I would rather wash then fold but the way his folding is set up 🙁
Sometimes I get lazy and don’t fold until 2 days after the laundry has been washed 🙁
Great shot!!!!

January 15, 2015 at 4:58 pmVery cool. The laundry thing is a must do every day for me too. I have to do at least two loads a day or it is straight out of control.
Amber
January 15, 2015 at 10:34 pmI do that too! Laundry is never ending so I’m perpetually starting a load on the way to drop off (if I’m not running too late) or I do it as soon as I walk in and then fold during naptime while catching up on my reality shows!
I’d totally forgotten this project. Definitely want to link up for next week!

January 15, 2015 at 11:42 pmOne of my goals this year is to create a cleaning schedule and stick to it. Hopefully, I create a schedule by the end of this month because I really need one. I’ve been doing really good with folding my clothes lately, but it’s things like shredding papers and decluttering that I need to really work on. My shred pile is ridiculous.

January 18, 2015 at 2:40 pmI am that person that washes clothes…leaving clean clothes in the dryer …forgetting…not folding for days. I am horrible. I never thought to wash a load a day. I usually just wait and sort. Clearly that isn’t working out for me. LOL I need to give your method a try.
Mimi
January 22, 2015 at 10:49 pmI promise it makes life so much easier. Mondays I do whites and lights. Tuesday, Darks and denim. Wednesday, linen and bedding. Rest of the week none!!
