The Laundry, this week & every week. I always seem to get eaten by the laundry. With 3 small boys laundry piles up quickly & finding the time to fold & put it away before it’s a wrinkled mess is rare! I did come up with a solution that works well if i don’t get too behind: each family member has their own laundry basket & as i fold pieces i put it into the owner’s basket. Every morning each person puts away their laundry, even my 18m old (well, sort of!). This only works if i am distributing 1 load at a time, not 5. Too much stuff to put away & they freak out! Tell me about it!

The coat closet. Only because it’s crazy small & i’ve given up on it. It only stores coats & shoes so it’s not cluttery but coats & shoes do end up in a giant mound on the floor. I have the boys clean it every few months & the door shuts… so i’ve come to terms with it…!

Pretty great, yes?  I love everything about this area…because it is real, lived in and very much a loved and used space. A few things about the space:

*The fab baskets are Wood Berry Baskets from Texas Baskets

*The green chair (which I want) is from House &  Hold.

*And….If you’re wondering what a pack of matches is doing a in child’s learning studio (hah!) Summer was inspired to do this sort of projectwith her boys. Fun!

So lovelies, I’m curious.  Do any of you home school and have a learning studio or classroom within your home?  Tell us more!

P. S.  You can see more Monday Mess right here.
