Inventory of Freezer

I always have a running inventory of what's in my freezer to make meal planning a snap and shopping more cost effective. This eliminates "lost food" in the depths of the freezer and saves money in the long run!

Organize Special Papers

I use a three-ring binder with plastic inserts to store important papers, so they are easy to locate.

Business Address Book

Buy an extra address book for businesses. Rather than filing the information by the company name, file it under the type of business. That way, if you forget the name of the lawn service, you just have to look under lawn. You can tape business cards in the address book to save time copying information too. You can also make notes regarding warranties, coupons and refunds. This will make it easier for friends or family to help out should you become ill.

Get Rid of the Clutter

I have two children and they tend to leave their personal items in the car and on every surface around the house. I purchased 3 small baskets (wicker with cloth liners and a lid) and wrote each family member's name on the underside of the lid. The baskets are right inside the door of our rooms. I gave my son (4 years old at the time) the chore of cleaning up everyone's clutter and putting it in the appropriate basket. He needed help the first couple of time and after that I could just supervise from a distance. You would be amazed how clean and clutter-free the house looks now!

Utensil Holder

I had an old Pampered Chef utensil holder, and I washed it up and put it in the bathroom. There are five in my family, so I labled each spot with someone's name, and now it works great for everyone's toothbrush, flossers and toothpaste. Any kitchen caddy with dividers works great -- not only for toothbrushes, but for make-up or hair brushes too.

Rechargeable Devices

I put a small piece of masking tape on cords stating what they are for (such as weather radio, blower for air mattress, etc.). It makes finding them much easier when you don't use them every day.
