Laundry Tip for Apartments

This is a shout out to all those apartment living parents out there. Doing laundry is probably the most complicated task I accomplish in a week with a 6 1/2 month old. It usually involves some combination of the stroller or baby carrier backpack, a large basket of laundry, and lots of trips. What I hate the most is coming back up the stairs and finding a sock lying in the hallway after already starting the laundry. Thus, I offer a solution, a quick fix to keep those socks, onesies, and unmentionables in the basket and not on the floor for all your neighbors to see.

Cover the laundry basket with the changing pad cover. It works so well, and I'm really wishing I had thought of this 6 months ago. The elastic fits around the rim perfectly without obstructing the handles. I still have to manage to get to the basement with a basket and a baby, but any little thing can be a big help. Hope that helps you too!
