Who's ready for another rock'em sock'em Lazy Mom Tip?!
Well, this one doesn't actually have to do with socks, like the last Lazy Mom Tip did, but it IS in the same department. So we can still call it a rock'em sock'em tip, mkay?
How many of you have a drawer full of tights, hose, knee highs and such all thrown together and it's a big heap of a mess? And how many of you have a hard time finding the color you need or you can't find the pair you want when you're in a hurry getting dressed?
Well, not any more!
(I said that in my big TV announcer type voice, just so you know.)
Pull out your Ziploc bags, a sharpie and dump that hosiery drawer out on your bed!
Sort everything into groups, like... black tights, white tights, tan knee highs, black knee highs, etc, etc.
Then mark on each Ziploc bag what group you are putting in that particular one. Just like I have here...
Stuff each item into the bag, squeeze the air out and seal it closed. Toss the bags back into your drawer, and walk away knowing that the next time you need some type of hosiery item you'll know exactly where everything is and what color your pulling out in an instant!
Speaking of colors... this is also the PERFECT tip for those tights that you can't tell are black or navy as well. No more wondering or holding them up to a pair of black pants to figure it out!
TA-DAAAAA!
I actually learned this tip years and years ago from the mother of one of my old boyfriends (is that weird?) and it's SUCH a fabulous tip. Our fantabulous sock tip - Lazy Mom Tip #49 - made me think of sharing this tip with you. I'm not sure why it never dawned on me to do it before!
But there you have it! Lazy Mom Tip #50 ready to make your life a little bit lazier.
