Small and dirty hands!

While I enjoy sharing a lot of things with my kids, hand towels are not on that list!  We encourage good hand washing techniques but there is only so much you can do.  And our bathroom hand towels often seem to end up on the floor for some reason.  I am by no means germ-phobic but I think doing simple things like changing out the hand towels frequently in the powder room can really keep illness contained.  I keep my spare hand towels right under the sink in the powder room so if I notice the towels look a bit grungy, I can throw new ones up - even if dinner guests have already arrived!

To help keep our kids' germs at bay, I installed (well, my dad installed...) a towel bar on the back of the door in the powder room

Sometimes I use a kid-oriented towel but generally I use a towel that matches the "adult" towel on the ring next to the sink (generally out of reach of children).  The towel on the door also serves as a reminder to wash hands before leaving!
