I use paper towels in my swiffer. Those refills are expensive and don't work that much better.

I fold the bed sheet, fitted sheet, and extra pillow case and put them inside the 2nd pillow case to keep the set together. Saves me time looking for a matched set.

I've read this tip before and wondered, how are pieces of the set going missing? Don't they go from the bed to the laundry to the closet?

Brush your teeth while u are peeing in the morning, as your eyes slowly adjust to the light. By the time you are done, your eyes are adjusted, your teeth are clean, and you've peed.

So much for very grooming complete!

Show your children a wooden spoon. Explain alternate uses. You won't have to use it.

Makes very much for child listening to behaviour.

That's all I can think of for now.

Put clean children in clean bed in clean day clothes. Ready for school tomorrow without the fight when they wake up. Still have to do the teeth and hair, but it's one less thing...

But I was so excited! I felt so smart! SHIT!

What else can I spritz on q tips to get my glasses clean?

Eyeglass cleaner...

Wow, I've been wearing glasses since second grade and had no idea that's even a thing! Can I buy it at someplace like a drugstore or Target, or do I have to buy it from my eye doctor?

I thought eyeglass cleaner was a gimmick, like produce cleaner.

Yes! Eyeglass cleaner is a total gimmick. Dawn dish detergent all the way.

Theoretically, yes. But when you have children and a spouse who get into the linen closet to find something, things do tend to disappear or get separated. I wouldn’t have understood the need to do this either before I had kids, but they changed everything!!!

I do this too. It started when I used to leave the house at 5:30 with my kids, but now we just do it out of habit. It saves money on PJs too.

I do this also. Besides keeping sets together, it also helps keep the linen closet tidy when other people (DH) rifle through it. We also have extra sheets for our guest room and air mattress that we don't use on a regular basis. It helps keep those sheets together.

Heard that sheet trick on Martha Stewart almost 10 years ago - I have never lost/misplaced a sheet or pillowcase since. I always used to be missing at least one sham/extra pillow case or the principal pillow case. I lived alone. Still couldn't keep track!
