Better Together On Laundry Day With P&G.

(I'm thrilled to be part of the DailyBuzz Moms Tastemaker program with P&G. Though this is a compensated post, all thoughts and opinions are my own. As are those clean, clean clothes.)

I have never been- and will never be- accused of being a Style Blogger. (Sigh.)

I've worn the same red hoodie since 8th grade. My youngest sister is convinced that all three pairs of jeans I own are the exact same pair. And I've definitely worn items that my daughter Nora has coveted and later layered into her own ensemble.

She's three.

But I know what works for me...and I stick with those pairings. Leggings (fine, fine YOGA PANTS) and shirt dresses. Tee shirts and skirts that might as well have been made from tee shirts. And, uh, hoodies n' jeans.

Circa 2007. He's another example of "better together."
(And he likes how I rock a hoodie.)

And now I can name another good combo that works for me. I was recently able to try Tide and Bounce and Downy, courtesy of P&G, and realized a few shocking things:

First off, that I had previously not known how to add Downy fabric softener to my washing machine. Had. Not. Known. How. I felt like a tourist, asking questions of the bottle like- Que? It goes in the machine?

Secondly, each and every one of these products is available in a fragrance-free, sensitive skin variety. Which is awesome, because my youngest kid has easily irritated skin. (We call her Rashley Judd. Or Rashlee Simpson, depending on the age range of those around us.)

And third, when this load came out of the dryer, my husband folded the entire thing. Coincidence? And even though he SAID it had nothing to do with the bright, soft, and fluffy nature of the laundry (seriously, the dish towels stacked twice as high), I think we'll just stay the course with this one and hope for a repeat.

Because when you've got a good thing going, you just stick with it.

Like a red hoodie.
