Laundry so pretty it will turn you into a fairy

Domestic labor but make it sun-dappled!

I hate a lot of household chores [see name of this newsletter], but few of them feel as Sisyphean as laundry. Especially when you’re not only stain-treating, washing, drying, folding, delivering, and putting-away the largely civilized laundry of adults but also stain-treating, washing, drying, folding, delivering, and putting-away the wholly uncivilized (and sometimes wholly unnecessary) laundry of small children. Small children who are prone to stripping in the middle of the kitchen simply because sartorial inspiration strikes. Small children who play several dusty, sweaty sports with professional enthusiasm. Small children who are potty training! Laundry is never “done” and the unending, cyclical nature of laundry often sends me spiraling into fits of existential despair.

Not so for this cheerful, laundry-loving lass!

In this obscene bit of spon-con for Christy Dawn (a brand for which an entire WTF tome needs to be eventually penned), momfluencer Johnna (“Mother | Naturer | Nurturer/🌲Raising four girls in the woods/🍴Recipes/ 📝Homeschooling /🌾Florals /🤲Peaceful parenting”) unironically frolics with absolute delight while hanging her aesthetically pleasing neutral colored laundry on an aesthetically pleasing laundry line in a sunlit glen.

Johnna’s #laundry4eva Insta reel hits many of the sweet spots of “ideal mom” lore.
