A collections of thoughts and snapshots of doing life as a single mom, utilizing the God-given 'caffeine' to create a Rockstar life for me + 3. I hope this brings encouragement as well as truth for other single moms out there just trying to figure this crazy life out. There are good times, bad times and all kinds of other times in between... But at the end of the day, it is up to us to create a Rockstar life!

If you hate pairing socks as much as I do, or wonder where the sock monster hides until your socks enter the washer, then this is the perfect Simplify Saturday Tip for you!
Keep a mesh laundry bag on the back of each bedroom/bathroom door knob and place socks in every night. Then collect the mesh bags at laundry time, zip and throw the whole thing in to wash and dry. Easily pair upon drying. Be sure to have a large enough bag to allow socks to move around while washing to ensure cleanliness.
A laundry dryer sheet can be placed in the bag to ward against any odors while on the door knob, just be sure to remove before washing.
A colored ribbon or string can also be threaded through or knotted on to deciefer which family member's bag if following The Color-Coded Family approach. This also makes it easy to get younger kids involved as it breaks down the task. They can just focus on one bag at a time knowing they are all the same size and owner.
