Works For Me Wednesday: Kitchen towels

I always used to fold my kitchen towels into nice tidy squares and fit them ever-so-perfectly into their little designated spots in their kitchen drawer. Then the kids started getting older and using my kitchen towels to wipe their hands, their faces, their spills, or to make capes or "flying wings." Thus, the nice and neat kitchen towel drawer was always a mess. And, there were about a dozen towels a day being used. And, I had little ones who always wanted to help fold laundry and their idea of a perfectly folded towel square looks absolutely nothing like mine. And, I was rearranging the kitchen and realized I had a big drawer free. Long story short, you know what I've found really works for me? NOT FOLDING THE KITCHEN TOWELS AT ALL!!! This brilliant idea solved all the little dilemmas presented in each of the "ands" above. Now, my big kitchen drawer is jam-packed with piles of towels "folded" by my 2 and 3 year olds, always ready to be grabbed out by the next messy hand. What a relief this has been to me. Sometimes it really helps to lighten up a little. For more great Works For Me Wednesday ideas, please go here.
