For me laundry day is whenever the clothes that need washed equal the amount of quarters I have!
I tried to schedule this chore but money doesn't always work out, thus I fly by the seat of my pants!
Anyway, while we sit at the laundromat we do school. This keeps the children busy and quiet.
I use a detergent that I make myself. I grate a bar of Ivory soap and add one cup of borax and one cup of baking soda and washing soda. I use two spoonfuls of this mixture in each load.
Comment with how laundry day goes for you.
