Dr Phil always asks this question (without the word “laundry”) and I love it.
I always say it doesn’t matter how people make something look on the blogs or in magazines or on TV, or even closer to home, if your friends and family do things a certain way.
It doesn’t mean it will work for you and your family.
Case in point – my overflowing laundry basket.
You all know I hate laundry more than any other chore so imagine how I was twitching when I saw this.
We have to have our laundry basket open otherwise it just doesn’t work for us.
I don’t want to throw the lid away because I may actually use it closed some day (or will I?) so I keep the lid under a dresser in our bedroom.
Recently I had this dresser painted so the lid found its way back onto the basket and this happened.

another angle doesn’t make it look any better |
I lifted some of the clothes from the top – ah, there’s the lid |
pushed the laundry all down – would you believe that huge pile is all in there? |
All that to say – even I need reminders to take my own advice sometimes 🙂
I was reminded that bad habits creep in so quietly – you have to be on high alert to keep your home organised!
Do you have open or closed laundry bins? And…. how are they working for you?
