My mother, the one who knows where to put EVERYthing, gave me a piece of advice many times through the years that really didn’t make any sense to me.
She said to put my pajamas under my pillow to be worn the next night.
Great trick . . . except that I rarely wore the same pajamas two nights in a row because they had been shucked-and-dropped randomly on a floor covered with other randomly shucked-and-dropped clothing, and therefore blended in too well.
And . . . since my bed was never made (and I do mean never), there really wasn’t anywhere to stick them.
Now that my bed is made every morning, and my floor is . . . . well . . . . less often covered in clothes, I’ve realized that she really did know what she was talking about! Go Mom!
And yes, I considered turning-right-side-out/un-wadding/folding-neatly my pajamas before taking the picture.
But I decided to be honest.
I may be a slob-in-recovery, but I have a long way to go.
my mother used to say the same thing… and now i ask my kids to do it as well…
🙂
Love it! My mom always said the same thing. I recently started FLYing and making my bed. It is a great place to put jammies!
I do this and taught my kids to do it as well.
I guess you never sit on the bed during the day/evening and use the pillow as a backrest? I do, so this strategy hasn't been successful for me, but I always have a designated place for my pajamas. Right now it's the hidden shelf under the skirted bedside table.
I do the same but I got the idea from watching an old Columbo episode. He caught the killer by finding the deceased's jammies under her pillow and yet she was wearing her jammies. I thought it was a terrific idea and it helps me to make my bed too!
Hey, we do the same thing. *And* we have the same quilt (on our guest bed, but still!). I'm trying to teach that trick to my boys as well, since they make more laundry than you can imagine!
I do that! I'm trying to convince my kids to do it, too. Noodle's are usually on the floor. Turtle's are usually on TOP of his pillow. Pretty good for an 8 yr old boy. LOL
I just figured that's where everyone kept them 🙂
Under the pillow is the place for jammies! I love your site!
Since I shower before I dress, and I undress in the bathroom, my jammies get hung on a hook on a door in the bathroom. When I was a kid, though, I used to keep them under my pillow! Now that I have my own place, alone, I can put them on the door in the “private” bathroom, while the guest bathroom is pretty neat.
When I was growing up, I shared a bedroom with my sister. When my parents got a new bed, we got their old bed. It had a bookcase headboard with a compartment on each side with a sliding door that hid whatever you put in there. That’s where we kept our pajamas!
Ha ha I do this too, that must be something moms say everywhere in the world (how could I stop my child from losing her pj and not letting her have another excuse why she didn’t get ready for bed, may be the motivation^^)
