Why I Stopped Folding Their Clothes

Our t-shirt drawer now!
Both of my kids are at that age where they want to pick out what they wear. It's great; I love the Punky Brewster ensembles they come up with. But it's also been driving me NUTS having them tear through every t-shirt, skirt, and pair of pants stacked in their dresser to find the one they want. Every day I'm folding and re-folding, putting clothing back in its place... an endless flashback to the late 80s when I worked at Benetton. Ugh! My solution to end the madness: everything gets rolled and placed in the dresser drawers so it's visible to little eyes and hands. If something is a set, like a pajama top and bottom, I'll roll both items up together so anyone putting the kids to bed (like my sweet hubby or grandma) knows what goes with what. And finally, my new rule: if an item doesn't fit in here, like this, it is donated to charity. This is working great for us so far - you could even say we're on a roll. Give it a try, moms and dads.
