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!
Ultra Slim Flocked Hangers: A Closet Savior
I recently organized my closet by switching to all Ultra-Slim Black Flocked Hangers. The change is drastic!! The slim hangers make room for more hangers on the rod, meaning fewer clothes stashed on the floor or my dresser.
Here’s how I set up my financial accounts (not me, original writer)
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.
if you'd like the file let me know, it was made using Word Perfect.
