Great Ideas for Moms:

Laundry Help
In the laundry room, I have a plastic bin with handles for my 7-year-old
daughter. I fold the clothes and she puts them away and returns the bin.  
Getting her to return the bin is the hard part so I keep some stickers handy
and she decorates it these with as they return the bin.
-- Martha, 51, from Cedar Rapids IA

Time Saver
I avoid the extra stress of hunting down gift wrap or packaging before a party
or wedding by having a selection of gift bags and wrap (try the dollar store ones
- they are as nice as the spendier ones!) just inside my attic on pegs, with bows
in a clear plastic container right by them.  Then I just grab what I need when I
get the present and have it wrapped and ready to go well before the big event.
-- Lisa, 29

Coupon Trains
Sangamon County, IL has a yahoo coupon website of which i am a member.  I registered
for a kids/baby coupon train, where about 6 moms send an envelope around with
diaper/formula/cereal-type coupons to each mom.  We each take what we want and
leave coupons we personally wont use.  The BEST way to get coupons.  Check Yahoo
to see if there is a group in your area -- or start one of your own. -- Jeanette, 37, from IL
*Editor's Note:  Coupon Trains are available throught the Mommysavers Discussion Forums.
