Twin Peaks

The first set of peaks came in the form of frothed milk. I met my new friend Lindsey for a cappuccino mid-morning!

tmp_share

Second peaks were in the form of a mountain of laundry!

This is a video I’ve been meaning to make for AGES! Yesterday I put my efficient “non” folding into action. This makes putting away laundry a 2 minute process – no need to leave folded stacks lying around!

The third kind of peaks were the two mountaintops I ran between. I braved the Cville hills today in a quick 3 miler. Since I’d already walked 2 miles downtown and back, I shortened my run to 3. 3 is so much easier than 5!

Please not my purple key chain bracelet. Remember these from the 90s? What a lifesaver for running with a key! I can push it all the way up my arm and it barely jiggles. Much safer than hiding a key or tying it to your shoe and much more comfortable than running with a key in your hand (which is what I used to do!)

Quick lunch before an afternoon meeting!

Reheat. Eat.

I added a few handfuls of chopped spinach to the bowl before microwaving last night’s leftovers. Easy way to get more greens!

Nothing erases pasta (ONION) breath like a honeycrisp!

Gotta go dry my wet hair and get to my meeting in 8 minutes!

    Thank you so much for that video. I just realized that I have wasted years of my life folding underwear and pants that don’t really need to be folded. I will definitely need to come up with a new system to fold my laundry now that I know you can do it in under 1 minute! And luckily I have a full laundry bag that needs to be “not folded” waiting for me!

    I must say I had a good laugh watching your laundry no-folding video! I do fold laudry but it is more of a ‘roll and fold’…nothing precise…just keeps the pieces separate. Love the accent! It was so much fun to see you ‘live’ and in action! Even my son came to watch…’why is she doing that?’ he wondered out loud and then walked away. lol I also had a great run today…light snow on the ground and no wind makes for an enjoyable wintery run!

    I must confess I’m laughing at my screen right now! Personally, I iron or fold everything because I think it’s more space-effective, but the point is that in Italy, where I live, not only do people fold everything, many even iron underwear! Talk about culture clash…

    I NEED to iron orfold almost every piece of clothes because I think it feels much nicer. But then I have to admit that my desk isn’t nearly as neat as yours *hehe*

    OMG, my anal retentive self could not handle your laundry method LOL! Thankfully my folding days are over and putting away my laundry is now easy. I have a hanging bar in my laundry room and as things come out of the dryer they get hung up to avoid wrinkling. Underwear and athlethic socks go into lingerie bags by category and the are just dumped from bag to the basket I keep them in in my closet. Finally, here is where I go off the deep end of laundry skills. For my trouser socks, I safety pin the matches together when I first get them. They are stored that way in my sock basket. When I put them on in the morning, the safety pins waits on a shelf in my closet. At night when I get undressed they get pinned back together before going into the laundry basket. That way, the match never gets separated from it’s partner. Totally anal but I no longer lose socks and they are easy to put away! 🙂

        Safety pins! That’s better than elephant clips. I wonder where I can get a truckload of diaper pins? I ball my socks up when I take them off, but the diaper pins could live in the laundry room in between balling.

      You probably just live in the wrong place, here in Italy ironing sheets, pillowcases and yes, even underwear is pretty normal! Plus, nobody would ever fold a tshirt the way Kath did, otherwise you end up with a big crease in the middle!

    it hurts my eyes! I just don’t like “messy”. If we owned this home & I could install drawers behind the closet doors, maybe. But our closet is open shelves, so not folding would mean piles of tossed clothes tumbling to the floor every time something was removed! And we must fold differently, it took 2 mins to not fold yours into the closet, I take the basket to the closet & fold, also done in 2 mins =) different strokes!

    I couldn’t do the no fold method despite not liking to fold. My latest process is to wash when I have time to fold that day – so that I can start and finish in one set period vs have it sit in the basket for a day or 2 – that bugs! I am by no means perfect on folding – dont do undies, bras, etc – but everything else really is pretty easy and honestly doesnt take long if I dont leave a mountain of it to do – normally I do 1-2 loads every 2-3 days – this is a family of 4. Kids put their own stuff away, husband, well, he often has his stacked in the closet (we have a large walk in). I really would not like things to wrinkles, and we are used to living overseas where everything! is ironed…even socks and tee towels!

    I have to fold, although I have relaxed a bit on HOW I fold my underwear, two folds instead of the three I used to do. So I wash early in the morning, hang the clothes on the clothes line outside, being careful to hang the undies on the inside lines so nobody driving by can see them. Take them down in late afternoon and fold everything and put away. Saving any ironing for the next day. I’m retired so I can take all day to do laundry if I want. 🙂

    Great video! very helpful and such a good idea. Since you first mentioned this idea, I’ve stopped folding my workout clothes and I just throw them in my “workout bin” which is SO incredibly helpful! I do still fold my workout/sleep t-shirts because they live in a hanging shelf in my closet and it’s just must easier to store/ access them when folded. But otherwise great idea.

    I am also surprised you don’t fold! My folding is sometimes sloppy, but I mostly fold because it takes less space than throwing things in.

    I love how efficient your “folding” is. I really have to fold, though, or it drives me crazy.

    I think you should do a post to see how many folders vs stuffers there are. I fold everything except work out clothes and underwear as well. But, t-shirts and everything else are neatly folded. I’m with Sabrina though, I can’t believe this is really you. I sort of love it because it’s so anti home neat home!

    Why do cappucinos taste extra delicious when they look so beautiful? Love the leaf design!

    Adorable video–shows you can be neat and organized without unnecessary extra work. Of course, everybody has their own “folding threshold.” 😉 Mine is about the same as yours.

    Okay I must be totally crazy because I fold EVERYTHING: socks, underwear, bras, t-shirts, pants, etc. I even have a very specific way about folding each category and if my fiance doesn’t fold them correctly, I go back and re-fold them. I can’t “fold” my socks the way you and my fiance do because I feel like one of my socks is being stretched out, even though it’s probably not. Now that I’ve typed that out, I feel a little bit crazy.

      I thought the same thing about the stretching, but now that I think about it I suppose that my ankles are thicker than the ball of socks. I think I’ll go back to rolling my socks.

      I’ve also started clipping my socks together in the wash with elephant clips to keep them together. This is especially useful with toddler socks. I used to roll over the top in the wash but I was worried about that stretching thing and they just didn’t dry well in the dryer.

    I don’t know why people are so surprised about not folding. Folding small, simple items is just a waste of time really that could be spend doing so much else. But to each his own, everybody’s got their vice I guess and are entitled to it.

    I came across this site months ago when I was looking for a recipe for leftover oatmeal. Since then I’ve been lurking and you’ve inspired me to toss stuff into my oatmeal. This has been a godsend because it turns out that although my 18 month old son may refuse supper, he’s always up for oatmeal, so I fill him up with oatmeal with hazelnut flour and whatever fruit or yogourt strikes my fancy. He’s well fed and I’m happy.

    I had to write today because I “fold” all of my toddler’s clothes the same way you do (he has an EXPEDIT cube unit so I can see all of his clothes at a glance) and most of my clothes are folded the same way. Unfortunately I have more “human clothes” than you do that I actually have to break down and fold.

    Thanks for the inpiration!

    I could never not fold all my stuff! Workout wear, pyjamas, underwear, it doesn’t matter, unless it is getting hung up, it all gets folded!!

    Watching the video made me miss you lots!! I wear t-shirts to the gym and around the house so every load has about 15! That means a lot of folding for me. Oh yeah and I do the laundry like every 2 weeks? Ick 🙂

    Wow, I must be a little more OCD than I thought because I can’t stand the thought of not folding things like pajamas and workout tops! (Sometimes I even fold my underwear.)

    Also, you have a fun southern accent! I don’t think it occurred to me that you wouldn’t, I guess I never thought about it 🙂

    With a closet like that you don’t have to fold everything has a space! I can’t wait to have a cool closet system like that! With what I have now I’d lose everything if it wasn’t folded. Darn dressers!

    I *love* your folding method, which is very akin to mine. I don’t understand the concept of folding underwear, in particular – it just makes no sense to me. 🙂

    I have the same key chain in red that I’ve had for YEARS. I will sob when it breaks as I never see them anywhere. Do you remember where you found yours? Or have you had yours since the “90s” too?!?

    The video was funny, probably would’ve been funnier if it had been shorter! Always so interesting to hear your accent. Anyway I like your laundry folding idea. If only everrryone would embrace it! I tried to do things that way once but it made my boyfriend cringe so much, he’d fold all my stuff lol. 🙂

    I fold a lot of things…because they take up less space that way. We have a 1 BR apartment with 1 small closet and 1 dresser that we both share. I have about 2/3 of the closet and 1 small dresser drawer + 1 large dresser drawer. If I didn’t fold long sleeve shirts and underwear and socks, there’d be no space! 🙂
