Mom Hack

Use a mesh garment bag for socks

Keeping my own socks from the laundry monster's mouth is difficult, let alone those tiny kid-sized ones! 

To prevent losing socks, keep a garment bag close to your hamper and toss them in. Then zip it up, wash and dry.

It's simple to do and will save you time looking for lost items.

These mesh bags are fantastic because they come in so many different sizes and can be used for many different things!
