Laundry, oh laundry. The one household chore I just can’t seem to get a grasp on! With three kids (who I swear change 3 times a day!), laundry can be overwhelming. We tend to live out of laundry baskets on a weekly basis. I have all the greatest intentions of getting the laundry folded and put away or simply not washing one load 3 – 4 times but lo and behold it gets the best of me every … single … time.

I found these adorable personalized duffle bags that are machine washable and a little over 30″.

Start by painting the wooden plaque with the chalkboard paint. If you prime the wood, you will only need 2 – 3 coats of chalkboard paint. If you choose not to use a primer it may take more than 2 – 3 coats of chalkboard paint to cover the plaque.

Iron your personalized laundry bag and hang on the hooks! Write your child’s name or “Laundry” on the chalkboard plaque. Ella decided to draw a picture!
