These helpful tips for laundry room organization can turn even the most boring of chores into an enjoyable task! This post contains affiliate links. Laundry is not one of my favorite chores, but when I think about how people used to have to clean their clothes, I’m very thankful to have those machines in our house.

And you better believe, I think long and hard about what polo to put my son in and which dress my little lady will agree to wear.

The dust is settling on the summer of 2019 adventures, and it's time to review my gear. Some of, thank goodness, is still great and will serve me well for another season or two. Some are at its last breath, and some needs replacing or upgrading. I already wrote a review of the boots I had this year, and will probably write another on another piece or two of my gear and clothing.

So, let me share with you what's on my list....
