THE POLL: Are You the Proud Owner of a Laundry Mountain? 🧦 🧺👖

We know we aren’t alone…there have to be other people out there who just toss clean laundry on the couch or bed when it comes out of the dryer.

(🧽 We don’t have a hack for this particular issue, but we do have six other awesome cleaning shortcuts for busy parents. Check it out here.)
