*The theme for this week is what one thing would you tell people. I would tell people to appreciate EVERYTHING. Every easy and peaceful breath your child takes, appreciate having your loved ones with you, appreciate your home, your warmth, and food in your belly. This year has been a year of wanting. A year of wanting a Healthy baby, of having that Healthy baby born and become a very sick infant, of wanting improvements and a full recovery, of wanting of NEEDING my husband and my family to be together under one roof. I have learned to appreciate the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of life. Their is JOY in every moment to be had, it's just not always the easiest thing to find. Perhaps instead of appreciating everything, I should say find the Joy in the Despair.*
My tip!
I HATE towel racks. I think they are old fashioned, antiquated and really a waste of space. Your towels can't dry effectively on them. The only purpose they serve is for looks, and I am more of a function+looks, please kind of girl. So for the first year of living in this home I left our towel racks bare in protest of their sheer inefficiency.
My husband is fortunate that I'm not one of those women who has to have everything perfect right way...it helps our budget A LOT. But the one room I attacked immediately after moving here was the girls. The movers lost our old bachelor shower curtain (PRAISE GOD!) and I went out and replaced it. My first time buying a shower curtain and I went for the cheap "S" hooks at target. Big Mistake. My curtain NEVER STAYED on. So, after three months of silently cursing those hooks I went and bought more and was left with an entire pack of useless S hooks until inspiration hit.
S hooks+Towel Rack=FUNCTIONAL!
Viola!

| The offensive S hook. The balls didn't work to hold the curtain up. |

| The Functional, Child Friendly and Cute Towel Rack! My kids are able to put their towels up and get them down with ease. Yes, I do have to rehook the towel rack on occasion but it works well enough not to drive me nuts! |

| I will admit it. I don't wash my jeans after each wearing. Neither does my husband. Call it laziness, I call it being green, water conservation and time conservation. I also had a problem as a teenager of NEVER HANGING MY CLOTHES BACK UP. Sorry Mom. That problem continued into adult hood until this. I now hang my jeans by the belt loop on my towel rack. It's AWESOME! |

I like how you took something you no longer used and found another purpose for it. I'm trying to do more of that as well.
I've always thought jeans could be worn more than once before washing too. :)
Ok, I'm going to ask a dumb question. How DO you dry your towels? I rewear jeans too - a. I'm cheap and only own a couple of pairs, and b. much more green. :)
I use a 3M hook, you know the cheap plastic ones, on the back of my bathroom door to dry our towels. I have toyed around with the idea of adding a ribbon loop to our towels so that they can hang on the towel rack using the s hook...but it hasn't happened yet.
