This will be part of our “Inside the Keep” page, where I post any small victories within ourhome.
OK, so it isn’t rocket science, but I finally splurged to get a set of towels in a specially assigned color for each of the 5 kids. I know it sounds kind of geeky and the idea is anything but new…but I’m still impressed.
I bought a bath towel, hand towel and face cloth from IKEA for each kid. The cloth loop on the towels somehow makes it FUN to return the towel to the hook (as explained by my soon-to-be 15 year old!)
It has been almost 3 weeks, and I haven’t picked even one towel off of the floor! We’re hoping that this will reduce our flu and cold season too as they won’t be grabbing the first (shared) towel that they see.
I also picked up these little bins at IKEA…and although I couldn’t get them in the kids’ assigned colors…they are taking care of some of the clutter! My trip to IKEA has actually turned the kids’ bathroom into a cool bathroom. OK, The IKEA shag rug isn’t all that hygenic, but it’s really cool and I’ll try washing it as often as possible. (It matches the turquoise towels.)
The kids are no longer messing up their bathroom and then taking over ours. wooHOO!
This is definitely not geeky. I was just wishing for a solution for all the towels on the floor and I only have one child. lol Thanks for the tips and ideas, and for linking up at NOBH.
This is a great idea, yes not rocket science but you surely just helped this momma out 😉 Going to copy it. Plus it gives me a good reason to go to Ikea!! We would love to have you link up to our Help a Momma out party that we have every single Tuesday. Hope to see you there!

Love the idea! I especially like the idea of individual hand towels. My question is- do you hang and reuse the bath towels? Not sure how I feel about it but I know others who do. Love the colors!
