Organzing your shoes
I spent a rainy weekend organzing my shoes not to long ago and it has chanaged my life. Not only can I see where everything is at once in a nice, organzied way, but my favorite part is how clean it keeps my shoes. I have so many pairs I love, but only wear a few times a year, so it was making me sad to see the dust build up on them. I bought plastic shoe boxes at The Container Store, and voilà — organzied shoes! Next step — taking a pic for the front cover of every box!

http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/heres-how-i-set-up-my-financial-accounts/ Ok, I may be getting laptop soon and it will be a first step in organizing my finances. I live at home and use our family's desktop computer so I hesitate to sign up for a service like wesabe and/or mint or use software like Quicken (you know I don't want to upload my info to the family computer). If and when I get my laptop I plan to start using those tools...in the meantime I've been researching ways to set up my finances, I mean saving has always been important to me but I haven't had parents who set the best example.Keep your House Clean- 30 Mins a Day

The Pint sized cleaning schedule
This is the cleaning schedule I did for my 3 year old, it's less cool than my cleaning schedule but not bad. Also for her toys I got plastic shoe bins with lids, and took pictures of a group of toys that go in the bin (ie Mr Potato head and his parts, people to her Fisher price castle etc) , and taped the picture to the front of the bin, to make it easier for her to put her toys away herself.
My Shopping list
I was tired of making shopping lists, thinking that I had remembered everything, only to find out that I was out of some vital ingredient, So my solution was a shopping list that listed everything I use (with a few things I add on as I go) Ok this is how it works , I drop the list into a plastic sheet protector , and as I make my weekly menu I go through each meal and with a dry erase marker and strike through everything I need, then as I am walking down the aisles I clear the Items off as I put them in my shopping cart. Feel free to ask me any questions, and here's my base list.
