Just one tip today.
Don't worry about socks.
There is no time to match and fold socks and track down socks.
If they care they will go through the basket and find them.
Buy the same color and style for pretty much everyone.
Get them at the Fred Meyer holiday sale on Black Friday for cheap, stuff them in stockings at Christmas and then don't sweat it when you find lonely socks under the trampoline, in the car, corners of the bathrooms, in kitchen cupboards, tangled up in bedsheets, thrown in the trash, fallen behind the washer, stuffed in the storage compartment of the big wheel, buried in the sandbox, falling out of the diaper bag when you just needed the wipes, ... oh, I've gotten carried away.
I only fold socks occasionally for my husband. On his birthday. Because it makes him happy.
Invest in summer flip flops for all the children.
This will increase your level of sanity immensely.
And if you are truly lucky your mom will come over about once a year and help you match all the socks in the towering mis-matched sock box and stock your whole family up on matched pairs for at least three months. And you will love her SO much.
