It is called the Socks Box. At our house it is a small dishpan-decorated (because that's how I roll) with socks and fun letters. After socks are taken off, they-both socks are safety pinned together and dropped in the socks box where they wait until their appointed wash time. The safety pins are on a magnetic strip attached to the front of the dryer.
Do you see the significance here.
They are pinned together.
2 socks.
No searching for the buddy.
No trying to match.
No more praying over the LARGE pile of socks and asking the Lord to show mercy upon the socks and grant that their buddies be found.
Pinned together.
LOVE IT!
The boys also love it! They absolutely hate trying to match up a gynormus laundry basket full of white socks. They are more than happy to run to the sock box and either pin the socks themselves or ask for help with it!
Great idea..and saves a ton of time in the long run!!

GENIUS!!! Heath and I just read this together and we both looked at each other after reading and were thinking the same thing...must be done in the Brown house! Thanks for sharing!!! :)
Great idea Dallas! I am going to have to try that! I am sick and tired of my dryer eating 1 of each pair of socks! I've tried other ideas...but didn't work.
Sounds like a good idea, but I'd never pin them together. I just know I wouldn't. There's no hope for me. :( I'm destined to always wear two different socks.
