Editor's Note

Last week passed by in a frenzy. With quite a few parties to attend and a business trip to be made, I was left with no time for housework and it has all piled up. Add to it the suitcase full of project supplies I shopped for on my trip (I did have a blast!), waiting to be organized and put away. I have had no time to work on new articles or projects and not even to update my blog. And after I send out this ezine, I have to go get ready for an open-house party!

Whew! What a busy week. Tuesday is when I start tackling the backlog one by one starting with laundry, organizing the room, emptying the suitcase and finally, working on some new projects. I can't wait to use some of the new stuff that I bought.

Until Next Week,

ORGANIZING

Effective Tips to Organize Your Home

1. Put things in logical places. For example, place your keys on a peg or in a basket close to the door. Store your pots and pans under the stove and your dishes and utensils close to the sink or dishwasher.

2. Use vertical space. Try wall shelves in living rooms and bedrooms. In the kitchen, hang the pots and pans you use the most.

3. Purchase a fireproof safe box for important documents like birth certificates, vehicle titles and other vital information.

4. Go from room to room with 3 boxes labeled keep, toss and donate. Take care of the toss and donate boxes right away. The last thing you need are boxes full of worthless clutter lying around.

5. Try organizing your child's room into activity centers. For example, there can be a reading center, a doll or stuffed animal center, an art center, a clothing center, and so on.
