It's the little things that make you happy!

We mostly don't make beds here and I won't apologize for it....but....I love a made bed! I want sheets, yes I said sheets, top and bottom! and blankets or quilts or I won't sleep in it! DH actually hunted down the sheets when he missed me too much and I pointed out that after 20 years he should know that I won't sleep in a bed without sheets!.....

For my kids, I went to really nice Coleman sleeping bags that are (supposed to) top a fitted sheet over the mattress....easy to make look tidy....super comfy for sleeping!

I'm curious about this sleeping bag that fits on matress thing now. Can you send me some information about it. Sounds like a nice solution for my house. My kids have a fitted sheet and a comforter on their bed (and pillows of course). They have a sheet set that has the top sheet too but it ends up just getting kicked off. None of their bedding matches either!

I looked at my bed when I got home from work....UNMADE!
I was up at 0530 to go to work, hubby still sleeping in it. So last evening as I was making it (I too love a made bed, and feel better getting ready for bed in a nice neat bed), I was telling him about this discussion. I wonder if the bed will be made when I get home tonight???

Last person out outta make the bed! No if, ands, or butts!


Bon- that's your man not mine...

Marlow- a great incentive for your kids to make their beds is to get "new" bedding! My kids are all... particular, you might say.... everything MUST match. Hospital corners on sheets always work well. When my older kids were young and they had bunkbeds I made their "comforters" to custom fit, sewn Square so it would stay on the mattress at the end of the bed and that way the blankets didn't hang over a foot!

I like duvet covers rather than "comforters" because I can wash everything easier. Sheets get washed every week, blankets and duvets once a month. Really keeps down the dust mites!

I LOVE cotton sheets...but the super soft ones. Our favorite sheets are....wait for it...FLEECE! I know, I KNOW! But I can't help it...I love the soft, fuzzy warmth of fleece sheets coupled with a down (real) comforter. Ahhhhh....that's what great sleep is comprised of. Oh and my 50 pillows and Mr. Sleepy Sheepy (sheep stuffed animal)! I'm a hard-core sleeper though...I take my sleep seriously!

You're right Southern...after watching a few episodes I got all stressed out about keeping the house 'clean' - I mean I started freaking out! I'm a little more organized...but I could still be better. Any time I'd watch it...both the DH and DD would get stressed cause I'd go on a cleaning frenzy! I just don't have enough time to keep up with everything by myself.
