The Timer Tidy

Did I even WASH them this week?!

Tell me you've never asked yourself this question.  Honestly!  I ask it all too often, sometimes I have to double check with my husband whether one of us ACTUALLY washed the kids this week and he will reply, snarky as only he can, "Have we even washed them this...
