A recent client of mine showed me this awesome product she got for her Lego obsessed 7 and 8 year old boys. She says it works pretty good and they can do it on their own. It is a set of nested trays that have different sized grids on the bottom. You place all the pieces on the top (largest grid) and shake. The pieces sift down and the smallest pieces end up on the bottom tray. Pretty cool!…a little loud maybe but cool. Makes me really miss my lego’s. Hmmm, I wonder where those ended up anyway?

Ok, my friends make fun of me for this but I know they all do it now! It’s a very simple thing but I thought I would share… and then you can make fun of me too!

This is great way to fold sheet sets together for easy and organized storage. I’ll describe this as if the sheets are laying flat. Start with your fitted sheet (sleep side down) and tuck the bottom corners up into the top corners (seem sides together).

Fold the left side over and tuck those corners into the right side corners.

Fold the right side over to meet the edge on the left. Don’t worry, because you’re working with rounded corners edges won’t meet perfectly.

Starting from the top fold down onto itself about three times so you get a little square package.

Moving on to the flat sheet, fold bottom edge to meet top edge. Then fold right edge to the middle and then left edge to meet what is now the right (folded) edge.

Again, fold the bottom edge to meet the top. Place the folded fitted sheet on top of the flat sheet with the clean, folded edge of the fitted sheet aligned with the bottom of the flat.

Place the pillow cases on top of the fitted sheet and fold over the top half of the flat sheet to cover the fitted sheet and cases.

Now you have all the pieces of a sheet set folded together in a way to easily store with other sets in your linen closet! No more wadding up that crazy fitted sheet or searching for matching pillow cases. Voila!
