My family’s sock solution was safety pinning them together before they went into the dirty clothes hamper, and washing them that way. No “re-pairing” needed afterwards!
Love hearing from you. Mismatched socks for the win! It’s too hard.
Shameless plug about mismatched socks.. on World Down Syndome day, March 21, people can wear mismatched socks (like they are selling them) to celebrate these wonderful people.
Hoping the world catches on to mismatched socks and that kids like our Sammy are forever shown love and why I think of SELLING them mismatched?
And also your kids are so fun and silly and I love them.
Hope you all are doing well. I’ve had you in my thoughts often, friend!
We are still on the sock struggle bus -- not least because my boys wear holes through the heels so quickly. However! One super handy thing (thank you Lazy Genius) that has helped the sock chaos is keeping a bucket in our kitchen -- ours is just a stainless steel trash can pail thing, it is almost exclusively for the socks that I find left everywhere, and also for dish towels. This means that *usually* the sock pairs get washed together. It also catches any random abandoned articles of clothing or the onesies from diaper explosions. Because it's small it gets emptied often. Honestly? We still have the dread pile o' socks in the bottom of the clean laundry. But there are not balled up socks everywhere that don't get into the hamper, and that helps.
Ooph, I gave up on the matched sock situation. Inevitably I pull 12 different socks out of the dryer before any matches so the littles often wear them mismatched 😅. (Someone generously gave us lots of unique socks and I cannot for the life of me keep them matched 😆)
