Christmas Laundry

A Facebook friend of mine, Bekah, shared image yesterday that caught my eye.

It caught my eye because I could literally walk into my older kids’ room, throw our Christmas tree star on top, and basically achieve this look.

So, Challenge Accepted.

It’s pretty good, if I say so myself.

But, my friend went the extra mile.

She even added lighted garland.

This challenge got me thinking.

I think I could put a star on our clean laundry on a regular basis.

See, in our house we have a loveseat that is deemed “laundry couch.”

It’s literally a small couch with the main purpose of holding our clean laundry.

You need a pair of pants?

Start digging.

Can’t find underwear in your drawer?

Dive in.

See, there is laundry on it literally 24/7.

When Banshee is serenading you with her amplified microphone, it’s there to never let you down.

When you’re feeling cute in a pretty dress, it’s there photobombing your moment of beauty.

When your newly mobile baby is cruising around and their sister takes a photo, it’s there lurking in the background.

And, sometimes – SOMETIMES – the items are folded and ready to be put away.

It’s there looking slightly pretty and a little organized.

But, as ridiculous as laundry couch is, we don’t realize how much we miss it until Christmas comes and laundry couch is moved from the living room, and we’re left without a place to throw our clean clothes. (Because putting them in drawers and closets is just crazy talk).

But, we don’t fear.

Our regular couch, complete with an assortment spilled food and drink, along with dog and cat hair, is there to save the day.

Couches for the win.
