This is by no means a new tip; I think I learned it from reading WFMW a couple of years ago. It's recently come up in my life again, so I thought I'd share - maybe someone out there hasn't heard this tip & will benefit from it!Baby socks are notorious for getting lost in the wash. After all, they're tiny, and thin, and can fit in any number of crevices in the washer & dryer. A simple fix - gather all the baby socks & zip them into a lingerie bag. You can pick up a lingerie bag at any grocery store or supercenter; I'm pretty sure mine was about $3 at Target.
Put all the socks in the bag, zip it up, and toss it in the washer. Put it in the dryer as-is, and when the dryer is done, all your baby socks are still there!
Keeping baby socks together works for me. For more tips & advice, head over to Works-For-Me Wednesday at We Are THAT Family!

Is the bag big enough for grown-up socks, too?
I did this when my kids were tiny- I probably read it about the same time you did on WFMW! ;) What a great help it was!
My WFMW tip this week is about choosing useful freebies instead of clutter.
