My closet and drawers are often a mess. Don’t get me started about B’s. She has pushed her bed up against the closet door and pretends it doesn’t exist, since it is so packed with junk, it really doesn’t. Tomorrow, we have committed to cleaning up her room and organizing her clothes. I live in fear of taking on the task, but it must be done. Seeing this video on the best way to fold a tee shirt, makes me feel like the task will be ever so slightly less daunting. Check this out; it’s genius!!!

1. Lay the tee shirt flat on the bed, front side up.
2. Visualize where the fold will be on one side. (Usually a few inches in from the side seam.)
3. Grab the hem of the tee shirt at the imaginary fold line, and pinch it lightly about ½ way up the “line.”
4. Fold the bottom part up to the shoulder of the top (still along the imaginary line,) hold it in place and pull the pinched part, resulting in the shirt flipping into a perfectly folded one, on 3 sides.
5. Shake it gently, and tuck the remaining side in, and “viola!” A perfectly folded tee shirt every time.

Now, if someone can come up with a method for the cleaning and organizing part of the task, that would be priceless!! If we don’t come out of her room in a day or so, send help!
