I now have 3 kids that are in twin beds. That is a lot of sheets. So here is what we do to free up the linen closet for the many towels that we also need;). It isn’t rocket science and I am not saying I invented it(I have been accused of such before;). First, I fold all the sheets, put them into the pillow case, and fold the case over to make a nice square bundle. That means everything is neatly contained. Then we have the under bed bins and we place all that kid’s sheets in it (except Nerdling’s because he has a race car bed). You also can put a mattress cover in the bin. The other benefit is if you have to change the sheets in the middle of the night, they are right there.
That is my tip for the week! Go see some more at WFMW!
This week is going to be crazy but I have some great produce from the farmer’s market.
Monday: Tuna Helper for the kids, NerdDad and I will both be out! Tuesday: Fake Zuppa Toscana, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Wednesday: Roast and Potatoes, Broccoli/Cauliflower Thursday: Fish (Cod, I think), Broccoli, Rice Friday: Country Ribs, Crusty Bread, Broccoli
We have lots of kids which means we have even more toys. The big cross age toys we have are Fisher Price Little People and Mega Bloksbecause all my kids love to play with them. When we lived in our old house they resided in under the bed bins and they stayed in those bins when we moved to the new house and the toys got placed in the play room. We also have severely outgrown the bins so we couldn’t put the lids on them if we wanted to. But I knew these bins weren’t the best choice but I didn’t want to do boxes with lids because the baby couldn’t get into them. So I was toodling around JoAnns and I saw these large bins on sale for 40% off (about $15). We were able to add a little vertical height and use the bins as shelves for all the larger pieces. Doesn’t it look pretty now? We may end up getting more of these or even the ones half the size. You can stack them straight up or intermix them!
Monday: Cube Steak, French Bread, Broccoli Tuesday: Roast with Potatoes, Green Beans Wednesday: Chicken, Asparagus in Pasta with a Garlic Butter Sauce Thursday: Pasta Carbonara Florentine Friday: Chicken Kiev, Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli
