I always double-knot my shoes when heading out for a run. I really don't want to have to stop in the middle of the run because they've come untied, bend down and get all dizzy when I stand back up... or even worse, trip on the dang laces and break my arm (this really happens... it happened to one of my stepdaughters... really).
I always double-knot my kids' shoes when called upon to tie them. Thankfully, there are only two left that cannot do it themselves since Big G finally got the hang of it. Double-knotting for the kids is because of the breaking-arm thing and so that their teachers don't have to spend the day re-tying shoes.
I don't use the "bunny ears" method. I use the other one... but I can't remember what it's called. Our shoe-tying book calls it "rocketship" method, but that's not what I called it when I called it something. Well, I just found out today that after all this time... I am doing it wrong!
Here is the video that shows you how to do it right...
So here's to properly-tied shoes from now on!
Now if I could just find some shoes that would match my boob-scarf...

Even though I am currently 999 places out of first, 20 votes would skyrocket me up 5 places in the standings... what other fitness blog is going to show you naked runners and boob scarves?
I think I mentioned it before, I am a Yankz person, I dont tie shoes anymore
ReplyDeleteHa, this comes at perfect timing!! :) My oldest is just now learning and we do shoe tying lessons every single day. Lots of patience. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I actually have always done it the right way! Craziness... usually I'm kind of a backwards sort of girl. I ALWAYS reinforce with double knots though, drives my kids crazy because then they can't get them off, but at least they stay tied while we are out. :)

When does this voting thingie end??? I'm getting tired of clicking...but I am committed, dammit!!
I believe we called that the "rabbit hole" method: where you make the tree (first loop), the rabbit runs around the tree and down the hole (or maybe I'm confusing that with the bowline).
ReplyDelete@Jill: the answer is "never" or june 1st. It depends on how successful XL is in finding more weird things to have these trained monkeys do. :)
Or you could always get velcro!
ReplyDeleteI am now following you from the hop and would love it if you could please return the favor at

Thank You
I actually learned that in Boy Scouts many years ago. But even armed with that knowledge gas still costs me $4 + /gallon. So I ask you, does it really matter?
ReplyDeleteAnd there's Mom stuff going on right in front of my eyes...Mizzreiewlady is asking for some quid pro quo. That never happens to me.
I will vote for you Marjorie! Of course, who else has nudity and granny's gadgets?! :)
