I’ve officially knocked three things off of my 101 in 1001 list.
Most recently? I finished #1. And that has totally changed my life.
You know how I’m allergic to paying $3.25 for Raisinettes? I also used to be allergic to making my bed. Ask my Mom. It was bad. M is allergic to making the bed as well, so it used to be that the only time our bed was ever made was when we changed the sheets. So about once a week. I knew that had to change, which is why I made it the top of the 101 in 1001 list.
I’m a convert. The other day, I got out of bed before M and he didn’t make it. I went upstairs to take a nap and had to make the bed before I could do it. It totally makes a difference, getting into a made bed.
The best part is? Butter has started making his bed every morning. I had no idea that would be one of the side effects of me trying to get my stuff together, but he has a morning routine that now includes making his bed. He even tucks his stuffed animals in. I have to get a picture of it one day.
Isn’t it funny how one little thing can change how you feel.
GOOD luck on checking more off your list.

I’m not good at making the bed frequently, but having a made bed just makes the whole ROOM look better. Good on you!

I’m a student of Feng Shui, and there are a few books that would tell you of the importance of making your bed in the morning and how that makes a difference in your energy and the way you feel. Very cool that you made the connection that by changing yourself you change those around you!

I really enjoy your blog. I love how you make observations about seemingly small things and share them with us. As for making the bed, I used to be so hard core about it that one time I didn’t make it, and it bothered me all day while I was at work! Now I leave it to the husband — he’s good at getting that task done, and it does make the room look so much nicer!

Hah. This is so true though, it is more fun getting into a made bed over a not made one. I must admit I’ve lost all hope in making the bed ;0
