I don’t know if you have this problem, but my husband and I often get our pillows mixed up. The kids come in our room to watch Reading Rainbow in the afternoon, and for some reason they switch our pillows.

The differences between the two pillows are so subtle that we often can’t tell whose is whose, but they are significant enough that if I sleep on his pillow, I have a back ache the next day and if he sleeps on mine, he has a sore neck.

This was starting to become a problem. Fortunately, around the same time, I decided to pick up embroidery. So, I decided to embroider a “C” on the edge of my pillow case. Now we always know whose is whose.

And that works for me.

(I apologize for the blurry picture. I know it is tough on the eyes, but I really wanted a picture and my batteries died before I could get a clear shot. You understand.)
