Improving the Look of Your Polo Shirts

March 24, 2010

Do you have a problem with your polo shirts curling at the collar?  Or with the collar creasing?  Or gaping wide open? My husband and little boy wear a lot of polo shirts.  And neither one of them like it when the collar curls up at the edges.  Or when one side of the collar [...]

I have a ton of kitchen towels.  I’m a bit of a germ-a-phobe when it comes to raw meat and general gross kitchen yuck.  So I have a lot of kitchen towels and dishcloths and I change them often.  It is not unusual for me to go through 3-5 in a day.  And then there’s [...]

There are many different methods of dealing with laundry.  I fully believe that a crucial step in every routine is sorting dirty laundry. In my laundry routine, I choose to sort dirty laundry as I put it in the hamper.  We have a very small laundry room with minimal floor space, so I keep our [...]

It seems like the fastest drawers to become messy are underwear drawers and children’s pajama drawers.  This clever little method will definitely help with the latter. First, fold your children’s pajamas neatly. Now for the best idea you’ve heard all day: When storing children’s pajamas, store the folded [...]

How to Fold: Children’s 2-piece Pajamas

January 27, 2010

Some of the quickest, easiest clothes to fold are children’s pajamas.  Starting with the shirt, pull both shoulders back so the shirt forms a mirror image.  Smooth wrinkles out with your hands. Fold the arms in so the shirt forms as close to a rectangle as possible. Fold the shirt in half from top to [...]
