🎧 Episode: Let’s Talk Laundry – 7 Grace-Filled Tips
Let’s be honest—laundry is one of those chores that never ends. Just when you think you’ve finished, the hamper fills back up like it knows you were finally free. But in today’s post, we’re going to talk all about how to make laundry a little more manageable, a little more meaningful, and dare I say… maybe even lovely.
No fluff, no perfectionism—just grace and rhythm.
First Things First: You Are Not Alone
If you dread doing laundry, you’re in good company. It’s repetitive, it’s never-ending, and it can easily become the task we procrastinate until it becomes a mountain. But the truth is, your attitude toward laundry can shift everything. It's not about finding the "right" method—it's about finding the rhythm that works for your home and your season.
My 4 Favorite Laundry Tips
Let’s dive into the top takeaways from this week’s episode (plus a few extras!):
1. Invest in a Hamper You Actually Love
Your hamper should work with you, not against you. I invested in this laundry hamper (linked here) with individual bags that snap out for easy transfer—and it’s been a game-changer! If your current basket stresses you out or contributes to your laundry pile-up, it may be time for an upgrade.
2. Use Laundry Detergent That Aligns With Your Values
Whether you lean holistic or just want your clothes to smell like a fresh meadow, choose products that make you feel good. I personally love this toxin-free detergent for peace of mind, but the real win is finding what supports your priorities.
3. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help
Whether it's your husband, a sister-in-Christ, or a good friend folding laundry over coffee and conversation—inviting someone into your home (and your mess) can be healing. You are not failing by asking for help. You’re building community.
4. Limit Tools That Lead to Temptation
For me, that’s extra laundry baskets. If I have more than one, clean clothes sit forever waiting to be put away. I keep one collapsible basket that slides neatly between my washer and dryer—it's my boundary, and it helps.
“Sometimes, the mountain isn’t just the laundry. It’s the emotion we’ve attached to it.”
Make It Fun!
Here are a few lovely ideas to make laundry less of a chore:
-
Play a podcast (like this one! Listen now)
-
Watch a feel-good show
-
Pray while folding
-
Record a voice journal
-
Use a walking pad while folding (multitask like a homemaking queen!)
Wherever you fold, make it feel cozy and consistent. One folding spot that works > ten that don’t.
