Has your kids' bathroom ever looked similar this?

I hope you're saying yes. I'm really hoping I'chiliad not the only 1 in the globe who deals with this. They claim they hang their towels on the the hooks provided, but somehow the towels ALWAYS end upwards on the floor. Always. And I really believe that the kids do try to hang them up – I've seen those towels skid themselves right off of the hooks onto the flooring. Even when the kids make the effort to hang them up, the towels just don't similar to stay on hooks. But every time I glance in their bathroom and see the towels on the floor (again!) I feel a trivial of my sanity slipping abroad.

At present, the obvious affair would be to do something virtually this. Probably something that doesn't involve yelling or threats or guilt trips or anything like that, correct? You certainly wouldn't spend an entire yr (or two), alternately betwixt freaking out and just hanging their towels upward for them (again) every single day, right?

Well unfortunately, I would. Until this week. I finally decided I'd had it, and it was time to exercise something, anything, to save my sanity.

Turns out that "something" simply took fifteen minutes. I rummaged through my ribbon scraps and found some twill ribbon (anything really sturdy would work). I cut four pieces, each about six inches long (cut at an bending and so the ribbon doesn't fray). And then I sewed each piece into a loop, right in the middle of the towel'south long side. I sewed across each ribbon loop 4 or v times, using a brusk run up, to make sure it was on in that location deeply.

And here'southward what the bathroom looks similar now:

Four towels, all hung upward on hooks, all unable to skid themselves onto the floor. Ahhh – tranquility at present!

That'south correct, tranquility now! (Name the evidence! I mean it, someone name the show in the comments – you'll make my 24-hour interval.)

Fifteen minutes, and I tin finally end loosing my mind over towels on the floor, every single 24-hour interval. Why didn't I do this two years ago?
