Socks, socks, everywhere socks - and none of them match!

When our youngest child arrived, I found myself so overwhelmed with laundry.  The worst part is matching socks.

That's when I came up with this solution:

When we buy a new pack of plain white socks, we assign a letter or number to them.  We use a Sharpie to put that number on the bottom of each sock before we wear them for the first time.  It makes matching socks so much easier, and it's easier to purge socks that become too small as our kids outgrow them. Just a minute of work will save so much work down the road!
