And then guess what surprise we find when it’s time to sleep...unmade bed! I was wondering if there is a new version of her book, it would be a nice gift for a newlywed, or it could overwhelm her totally!Desiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905591143279290656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-38126460165405755182007-08-21T12:05:00.000-04:002007-08-21T12:05:00.000-04:00I have this book and love it!!!

I used to make my bed immediately upon rising,this is the FlyLady way. ;) When I read this book a couple years ago, I started to leave the beds unmade for a couple hourse and opened the windows too. It feels good knowing the airing out process is happening.

I'm not good about doing this--in the summer it's so sweltering hot that when opening the window, it makes the bedroom more humid, plus I'm one of those that likes having their bed made early in the morning. However, this fall I may start doing this more often!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip!!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871149238299353212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-16819917962087554712007-08-20T11:59:00.000-04:002007-08-20T11:59:00.000-04:00I'm going to go open the windows in the bedrooms r...I'm going to go open the windows in the bedrooms right now!Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332386719762802940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-33058473599011819492007-08-20T11:49:00.000-04:002007-08-20T11:49:00.000-04:00Hello Mrs. U,I'm pretty big on airing things out i...Hello Mrs. U,<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty big on airing things out in general, esp. the bedroom.<BR/>It does make a difference.<BR/><BR/>Often except in the dead of winter ever couple of weeks I hang the blankets and non-sheet covers out on the line to freshen and it makes them smell WON-DER-FUL.<BR/><BR/>Take Care and have a great week.<BR/><BR/>TrixieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-91786236142165408582007-08-20T11:45:00.000-04:002007-08-20T11:45:00.000-04:00Yuck!

TODAY! ;o)<BR/><BR/>When I do my weekly airing, if it's nice outside, I hang outside all my extra linens (comforter, extra blankets I leave at the foot of the bed, etc.). Then when I put clean sheets on the bed, I bring everything in and the whole room just smells outdoors fresh! [I do wash those items ... just not every week. :o)] Of course, Mrs. Mendelson may change my mind about that, too ~ lol!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724180634582208804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-27962783659810049922007-08-20T08:50:00.000-04:002007-08-20T08:50:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness!

Our window in our bedroom needs replacing, so opening it on a daily basis isn't an option (plus it has no screen!). But I'm going to start airing it out every morning, for sure!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139188188043795169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-83165721019612842122007-08-20T07:30:00.000-04:002007-08-20T07:30:00.000-04:00You're right, that is pretty disgusting!

I never really thought much about airing out my bed, I just figured I should make it up ASAP, which is what I've begun doing, as soon as I get out of bed I turn around and make-it up. I might just open the windows for a little while this morning.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Mrs. U.! <BR/><BR/>Melissa :DMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729217616060227200noreply@blogger.com
